Offy; Stewart deal not done!

[stanley75]

Not sure why this has turned into a row amongst some on here. I think what has happened is (as I said earlier) that Bristol have bounced Rangers and announced before the time they'd both agreed for that announcement. Simple. Rangers are clearly miffed. Perhaps they'd planned their own little puff about the signing of Orr to coincide and wanted Orr up on our offy at the same time with his Rangers shirt on. But Bristol gazumped that plan. And Rangers now getting churlish (and a little childish actually) trying to spike the Bristol announcement.

But not a big deal. But Rangers would have been best advised to say nothing. There could be no come back on them if the deal fell through so that is no excuse to have jumped in. Silly. Teapot stuff.

Some people think the need to defend QPR FC, even when there is nothing to defend.

I wonder what that can be

My guess, looking at the semi-crisis that Coppell has from injuries & outgoing transfers with the BC defence, is that he wouldn't let Orr go unless we gave them someone in return. We've lots of options for central defence, and so this looks like our best solution. Should also add that I'm DELIGHTED that we've a real full back on the books again at last!

So it looks like he was walked down the plank then!

Great news ffs. I bet Warnock's happy a week b4 the season starts!
Disappointing if true & yet more BS from upstairs.

Yeah agree, we just now need a REAL left back now since we have lost tosic.

Take a peek at the revised piece on Stewart's transfer now on the official. Still amusing me as someone at Rangers clearly had there nose put out of joint when Bristol pushed the button, says something like "QPR would like to inform its supporters that the Stewart transfer was competed at 13.36 hrs"

All it misses is an "I told you so"... "Bristol said it was complete at 13.34 so we were right and they were wrong" .."So there"
