    Article in the fail says one of the released players made a complaint about him. Does seem a case of sour grapes by a released player.


    Queens Park Rangers have suspended highly rated youth-team coach Mark Langton amid allegations of racism.

    Langton, who is on a full-time contract at Loftus Road, received an official letter from the club last week formally suspending him. He has been told he is not allowed on site until an internal investigation has concluded.

    It is understood that the allegations surfaced after Langton released a number of youth-team players just after Christmas.

    QPR then received a complaint from one of the released players and his father alleging racist abuse while he was being coached by Langton.

    Rangers are making changes to their youth-team set-up after Mark Hughes was sacked in November, but it is not unusual for clubs to release players at the turn of the year.

    Langton is known for a sergeant major-style approach, but he is well respected at QPR, where staff at the club are shocked and surprised by the nature of the allegations. Many of them have been told they will be interviewed as part of the investigation.

    There are claims that Langton’s coaching style was accepted by QPR’s young players when they were at the club, but their attitude changed after he released a number of players.

    Rangers on Monday night confirmed that a formal investigation has started and Langton has been informed.

    Owner Tony Fernandes has told the club’s human resources department to carry out a thorough inquiry into the alleged incident and has pledged his full support.

    Langton is stunned by the claims and intends to fight to save his reputation.

    They have a QPR source but I hate the Norwich supporting Dick Menace who always comes out with flat out lies against teams Norwich are competing against. As for their non sport opinions.....
