Me too. Sadly I think we're in the minority here - the vocal majority have already made up their mind.
I'll back Les and Hoos whatever decision they make. Hoos has been extremely impressive to date and has a great track record.
I just think they will decide to remove him. And, if I were making the decision, I would probably make the decision to remove him for all the things explained before.
But that doesn't mean I won't get behind a different decision, if they take a different approach. I think a lot of fans are in that boat.
Let's just win at Fulham. That would be nice.

A mate worked at HQ putting up all new badge signs and did loads of refurb work , he met JFH on a number of occasions and at harlington too.. He's a Rangers fan and was chuffed to do the job, but said out of all the folks he met.Hasslebaink was the most dour, rude, humourless and I quote" fecking unpleasant" one of the lot.Just saying.

Well, they're giving it a long lead up if that is true - the Barnsley assistant coach and the Southamptin assistant manager. Big whoop.
This.
I reckon that they have similar on those "Big Names", but are thinking more than twice, not on whether they have watertight evidence, but because Mr. Scudamore will not be happy if HIS product is tarnished in any way.
Fck the National team, but if the Premier League is wronged, well...
The Telegraph would lose access to Premier League Managers and they can't have 5hat, can they? If they want to investigate Integrity, they should pick up a mirror. It's not just those in the game that are untrustworthy scumbags, is it?
We can't criticise the "greatest league in the world" after all, can we?

But you know full well as your in the business that JFH is a non story on its own, manager discusses fee for speech then agrees to look at agents player. Its the juxtaposition of the grainy picture of the most famous face factual headline but placed above the lead stores which are for more serious (actual cash bung) / dodgy owner. It implies more than it actually says in words. Its sleight of hand by the DT for which they are in a grey area. Copy on its own is probably not challengeable.
I don't think, on its own, they would have run this story. It's part of a series, and that's the only way it stands up as worthwhile. But the words of the headline were true: he's willing to accept money from a firm that wants to sell him players. It's not a grey area, it's all backed up by what he said. Seriously, the legal costs and potential damages from any of this that didn't stand up would be colossal. My bet would be that they have much worse stuff on all their targets, but containing enough ambivalence that the lawyers wouldn't let it through. When a story has been heavily legalled, you're usually seeing a much less provocative version than the original draft.

I don't think any of those big names will be named by the paper, all they seem to have is an agent speculating rather than any evidence on them
Yeah I agree. They would have named them if they could have done. Instead they have let the speculation flourish 'early doors' in their campaign to get some momentum and maybe flush out a bit more.

Why is JFH Les' mate? They've never played together nor had any connection prior to him being hired here last season, a process that was overseen by Hoos and Ferdinand. So he's as much Hoos' mate as Ferdinand's.
Come on Clive, isn't it obvious that all black people are friends with each other, and always seeking to give each other jobs. They control football. How can you not have noticed?

Think of Twitter as the home of the people who would get ignored/shut down in any real life/public situation. Weirdos who have finally found somewhere where other weirdos will pay them attention and make them feel important
Cf Trump's electorate

That's a really good interview. It gives them some time and space to make the right decision, whatever that may be.
Can't argue with any of what Lee and Les say. I reckon that if it is what they think it is then Jimmy will get a quiet rap across the knuckles and told to be more careful. And that will be the end of it. Although, if Fulham tonk us yet again that may change.

Hoos is eloquent and comfortable in front of the camera and sounded authoritative without actually saying very much at all. Les looked more like he was anticipating an imminent attack of dysentry.
Kensal, that generated an audible guffaw fro me

Not that you'd expect any different but Les looks like someones pissed on his chips. His mate has let him down big time and pushed him towards a decision he looks steadfastly that he didn't want to make....without The Torygraph we could've seen a dozen more games of dross ball. Now i doubt we will
Fair play to Hoos. I shudder to think how it could've looked if Bungle was in his chair for that
I challenge you to write a post that doesn't contain a nickname of some sort — I can't explain why it winds me up so much, but it does. Constantly dropping in fanciful monikers at every opportunity... I picture you delivering them in a David Brent style, giggling as you say it, and then awkwardly looking at the camera and fiddling with your tie when nobody laughs.
Maybe i'm being unreasonable? If so, I apologise — I just have this irrational rage when I see 'Bungle', 'ODH', 'Scumford Fridge' etc...
I do like your avatar though, if that somehow tempers the mean spirited nature of this post, then all the better.

And an explanation as to why JFH is Les' mate but not Hoos' mate, even though they ran the recruitment process together and neither had ever worked with him previously, while you're at it please LBlock? Other than, you know, the obvious.

QPR can confirm that we are currently unable to proceed any further with the club's internal investigation at this stage, as The Telegraph are yet to provide full and complete unconditional disclosure of all the information it has, despite a number of requests from both the club and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's legal team.
We urge The Telegraph to provide full disclosure of all its information relating to the allegations, including video footage and a full transcript of the discussions that took place.
The club believes this information should not be provided selectively, but unedited and unconditionally, in order for the club to view the full context and the sequence of what was said by all parties to include in its investigation.
Once again, we appreciate the QPR fans want this issue dealt with as quickly as possible, which is why we request full cooperation from The Telegraph in providing us with the aforementioned footage and transcript.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, his staff and the R’s players remain 100% focused and committed on the job in hand, and as a club we would encourage our supporters to show their passionate and loyal support, as they always do, when we play Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship tomorrow (Saturday) lunchtime.

Surprised JFH has so much interaction with the builders?

Think that's fair enough. Not sure why the Telegraph would take so long. But guess they're busy.
