Firstly I should say to avoid doubt I am extremely grateful to NW for what he did and taking us to the PL. However my priority now is QPR. We are a club with ambitions and lots of plans but we don't have the odd million pound laying around to give away so I ask those that are saying pay him rather than negotiate a figure agreeable to all, which budget does it come from? To pay him will mean less elsewhere so do you take it from - New players fund Ground refurbishment Training ground facilities Youth team Scouting network New ground planning and bid fund Recoup through increased ticket prices The reality is it has to come from somewhere, so to pay NW means us going without, interested on thoughts?
74! I am not familiar with the detail of QPR's Budget and Forecasts, but if these are handled with any sort of professionalism at all, the cost of the salary and benefit package to the Manager of the Club must have been included. According to a dubious Mail article Neil was on a fixed contract with 18 months to run at £750K per year, which means £ 1 125 over 18 months. If this is in his contract it has to be paid him, end of story! Quite possibly Neil wants it all paid off now as I believe is normal, and the Club may want to deduct some financing cost from an immediate payment, but in the big scheme of things this is small stuff. Where we will have an extraordinary cost is that we have employed a new Manager (MH) before the existing one's (Neil's) has finished - whether any allocation was made in the Budget or Forecasts for this is for me far less certain - perhaps PL and other Football Clubs set off allocatioons in Budgets for getting rid of the Manager every few months! Some Clubs certainly should be!
Ranger74, You know my thoughts, paying him for the job he's done,the amount of money being bandied about wont interfer with either player budget or groung refurbishment, the new training ground will cost millions and another wont make a blind bit of difference,they waste £0000s monthly on players not good enough to grace our club and were moaning paying a men for the tremendous job he performed under trying times,its all right for the board to thank him but pay the man he earned it.
I'm not saying pay him nothing but a sensible figure will hopefully be reached agreeable to all. Can't see us ever agreeing on this one guys but respect your opinion
Pay him it all, He got us up with nothing so why all the fuss about £1000,000-00p to be paid. If I had done what NW did for us I would want that type of pay off! If they can get rid of NM just like that, why not some of the Riff-Raff players we still have ? Answer please from all you clever ones¬
Because ****e like Vine and co will never get another contract like they have at QPR, QPR offered a pay off but they refused. The difference is Warnock has a job opening on good money where her could get full wages from them plus a pay off from us so hes better off accepting a reduced amount from us if he wants to work.
