Transfer targets

Stoke City tell Queens Park Rangers: Róbert Boženík is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Queens Park Rangers make their move for Bright Osayi-Samuel

$750.0K on the table at Birmingham. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Queens Park Rangers go back to the board over Bright Osayi-Samuel

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $801.0K — a club that wants Bright Osayi-Samuel enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Toby Steward rejects the move

Queens Park Rangers had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Portsmouth, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Queens Park Rangers

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A falling-out at Queens Park Rangers

Dennis Cirkin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Queens Park Rangers against Leicester City

1‑2 to Leicester City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Amadou Mbengue attracts admirers

The name of Amadou Mbengue has come up in conversations Queens Park Rangers were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout

Rumarn Burrell gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
