I guess this is old news, but I stumbled upon this on a Sheffield United forum. Apologies in advance if this has already been covered.... "Hi Gianni, Further to our conversation an hour ago I want to confirm that the details below is the official final offer from Queens park Rangers FC: Player Jay Bothroyd Term 2 Years ( compulsory option for 3rd year if QPR are in Premier League and the player makes 19 appearances in the 2013/2014 season ). Salary £25,000 per week ( including S.O.F ) = £1,300,000. Appearance £2,500 per game ( named in 18 man squad ) Bonus £250,000 for each season QPR remain in the Premier League ( payable at the end of each season ) £2,500 per game ( named in 18 man squad ) if QPR remain in Premier League ( payable at the end of each season ) Relegation If QPR are relegated in the 2011/2012 season then the player will be allowed to leave for the price of £1,250,000.

Who are you, sku? (Doesn't really matter but couldn't resist the obvious rhyme.) Interesting document this, especially the plausible wording. Loads of questions like what was the date and time on this? Sheff Utd website could be some agent uploading wrong doc...
Plausible? There are basic grammar errors that would never be made in such an important legal document. Also, why would anyone put it on a Sheffield United forum?
This was on the WATRB forum last week...supposedly this was the final contract offer from QPR for Jay Bothroyd. This email again supposedly was from Sky Andrews (Jay's agent) to Gianni and others but also was sent to the wrong email. Hence why this was plastered all over the internet...Not sure if it was a hoax or not but it made for interesting reading and debate on messageboards!
It purports to be a final offer so you may well be right Bakes... Interesting though cos what kind of wum would go to such lengths to get us going? The ones we get on here don't have the faculties to be that convincing.
Totally unlikely that it would be emailed to the wrong person by mistake. It has been written by some hoaxer. For example, an agent would manage to spell Queens Park Rangers correctly - ie, with a capital P
It's no legal document that's for sure. Some sort of draft outline in which Bothroyd's agent is confirming Paladini's terms.
Happens all the time. Our company solicitor just sent a load of us someone else's GoR return by mistake the other day. As for spelling and grammar, that's also a big reg.
