    Still agreed a contract according to some people including the staff he wanted

    Depends on what qpr are asking for tho. If we are looking at north of £3m it’s probably prohibitive considering we like sacking managers anyway.

    We’re at the point where Dodds and by extension Speakman’s survival are rated as more important than retaining the likes of Rigg

    Especially when they keep using him as the reason the Still deal broke down, it wasnt

    Still was getting everything he wanted, he just then decided he wanted to go to Lens because they are in europe and he felt it would give him a better chance of a big job in France or a good PL team

    Now i dont know what has happened with any other deals but speakman isnt to blame for Still not coming here

    I’ve decided over the last couple of days my problem is with KLD rather than Speakman. It’s all on KLD. He can remove Speakman if he wants. He hasn’t. So he’s obviously fine with what’s happening.

    Don't need to chill out thanks I'm perfectly chilled. Just don't believe a lot of stuff as too many contradicting stories. Will just wait and see what happens.
    Don't mind people putting rumours on, but some seem to try and pass it off as facts

    Flat out untrue.

    May be true for the others but it isn't for Cifuentes.

    Sound. You just seem so definitive then the website / version might be best.

    Exactly. Speakman valuing Dodds above everything else and KLD is condoning negligence.

    I’m sure I’ve read the compensation for Marti is 1m.
    Unless QPR have changed the goal posts and have bumped the price up.

    As we’ve said, hopefully once the coach is, few players too every thing will be alright

    yes. By extension it’s KLD valuing Speakman over Rigg. I’m not sure how they’ll be able to ever act credibly going forward.

    I think you're being led down the garden path to be honest with you. I don't think Speakman is the problem he's made out to be and, therefore, neither is KLD.

    Speakman definitely has his faults and has definitely made mistakes but I think its being talked up.

    Nope. 100% wrong information. Happy to discuss over PM but you've been lied to.

    If that’s true then it’s an absolute joke, such an integral part of the game these days.

    Nixon reported it was £900k 3-4 weeks ago. But unless that was a clause in his contract they’re completely in their rights to bump that price up this close to the season starting. If I was them I’d be asking for millions

    whilst I don’t like Speakman and want him gone, I find it hard to believe Still would be so open like that with people he’s bumped into.
