Having four years at QPR on his CV means nothing if he has only a couple of appearances three and a half years ago. No club is going to overlook that and to suggest otherwise is crazy.
He is going nowhere after his stint with us, whether it finishes at the appointed time or ended many years earlier than it is supposed to.
That is what I would call an extremely hard sell.
The bloke that can sell ice to the eskimos would be required - I would suggest !!! |
An L1 cub will take him on a 1-year contract at massively reduced wages, at which point he will play a full season like he did at Doncaster.
And so the cycle begins again. |  |

and there's my point, plenty will seek to blame Beale, others will blame Belk. No one knows and even people at the club will seek to jump on one side or the other. Also, rather than blame staff, there's only really one person to blame, and it's the man himself. |
So, to clarify, absolutely no fan knows and even people at the club don't know, however, you are the only person to know, that the one person to blame, is the man himself.
Congrats. |  |

No chance
Dozzell could get league one
He has at least had game time
Richards no game time throughout his entire career apart from one season when very young. No league one club take him. They know the effect on squad morale |  |

But don’t forget……. Amazingly the club actually had a loan deal out for him sorted at the end of the last window which the waster then turned down calling out another “injury ”
I’d love the know who that club was and can only speculate that it was Donny Rovers.
Hearing that made me despise this piece of shite wannabe G road man even more as he deprived Marti of getting another one of his own picks in.
Fingers crossed that deal can be relivined up and we bin him off even if it’s only fora small portion of his scandalous wage and Marti gets his man.
The only other solution is to resign Matt Pickens and for Dickards to have 1 on 1 sessions with him after checks that the insurance policy is up to date |  |

No not at all. I have no idea, that's my point!
As for people at the club, I'm talking about where fans attach blame for the signing. Some will say Beale, some will say Belk, some will say Les - truth could be any or two or both; so if someone says 'well, I heard it was all Beale's doing from someone at the club' it might not be reliable, as that's a convenient scapegoat to have - although it could also be true, so it's pointless to try and blame one person or another because it's almost impossible to really know exactly what happened. And, yes, perhaps it's all Belk's/Les's/Beale's/Ramsey's fault for not forseeing the disaster- but ultimately it is up to the player to be a professional, isn't it?
Not sure what I said to elicit such a sarcy response, but you got the wrong end of the stick there - I'm certainly not claiming to be ITK. I did know someone very well who worked at the club for many years, and he would occasionally tell me things, but I soon realised some were true and some were his interpretation that would be disputed by others.
Here's an example. Think it's safe to tell. I know a journalist who was speaking to a player of ours years ago, at the time we sold Dean Parrett. He said to the journo that it was a dodgy transfer because he saw Paladini and Gregory laughing and hugging and being delighted just after it went through. You'll remember at the time that we were all gutted Parrett left, and this played into the feeling something nefarious was going on. With the benefit of hindsight it seems to me that, if this did happen, it's actually more plausible that Gregory had orchestrated the whole thing, talked Parrett up (which he did), talked about getting him in the first team at what, 15, 16 (which he did - talk about, I mean), and managed to get £1m for a player that, ultimately, he knew would not make the grade. And he didn't. So perhaps they were delighted for getting such a huge figure for a teenager he actually didn't rate, and it was vital money for the club at a time where it was (as per) skint.
Now, the player told my friend that story. That's a fact. But who is to say whether it happend, and if it did, what the reason for their delight was? Everyone has their own truths. |  |

As I see it, there's really only two outcomes with him. Either a) he turns it all around and becomes a potential squad player who can contribute something or b) he carries on as he has done for the rest of his contract and is released.
He's not going to just walk away, he has a contract.
Paying off his contract will cost as much as paying him every month but will load all that cost into one FFP year. No point in that.
Don't spend the summer thinking about him, it won't change anything. Forget him and move on. He was a mistake and he won't be the last. Sh1t happens. |
So a player can not train/apply himself, not play, and bob up infuriatingly on social media when he gets the urge, but keep getting paid regardless? What a joke! [Post edited 16 Jun 18:00]

Stupid thought but, surely he must be in breach of contract? If so why would it cost us anything to terminate his contract? |  | | |

Lots of problems trying to sack someone who has mental health issues. Makes it almost impossible. Hence why he rocks up from time to time and trains. |  |

If a doctor signs him off he is almost impossible to get rid off. The only thing we can do is not give him a place in the 25 man squad. |  | | |

Football does seem a bit different though.
Yes it is extremely difficult to get rid of someone who has been signed off sick in the real world, but not impossible. It is laborious and time consuming but ultimately you can get rid of them. I don’t see why it is apparently so much more difficult in football. | | | |

Neither do I. Mentally ill or not, he simply cannot be basically continuing to draw a salary for doing nothing. | |

Have to feel sorry for the lad as I doubt he is living the life that he would want to.
We have to guess that he is still suffering with mental health issues. Many pro's over the years have admitted to personal problems and stated that being in and around their team mates during training and matchdays were the only times they could escape their problems. This seems not to be the case with Taylor.
It is right for the club not to comment on his personal life and I can only suggest that he stays away from the rest of the squad and continues with his healing. I can't see what else the club can do. [Post edited 18 Jun 18:05]

My uncle's brother believes that Richards, being a huge QPR fan, has offered to be in receipt of a much reduced wage until such time that he regains full fitness and becomes available once again for selection, and in doing so redeems himself with the fanbase. |  | | |

Sod that.
I know from personal experience there’s no typical way to behave if you have a “mental health” situation
However, unless you are as thick as Rick Wallers chin line then you’ll have the self awareness to not be on social media being a g-man whilst in the midst of a crisis.
The bloke has proved himself time and time again he’s a wrong un
He actually IS living the life he wants. Just gotta hope he squanders it all, puts a foot so wrong he can have his contract terminated or something else happens that ends his time with the club and frees up wages | |

Or you put that rumour around to get defenders on Sick-Sok and a few want to believe it as reality is hard for some. You know some people have mental health issues so, don't be too hard on the defenders.
Meanwhile, you are off spending the lot on your mates at the boutique shops because you need friends outside of work as you have none inside it. | |

They will be taking action. The club can't discuss it though.
We are trying to save as much money as possible. I find it impossible to think that we are doing nothing to manage the situation.
For all we know, he's on statutory sick leave and not being paid. But they can't divulge that. | | | |

Can't tell us whether one of our players is coming to work. Nor how long players are contracted for, or not. Nor whether we're twisting, sticking or throwing the cards up in the air with when it comes to leaving/staying/digging up/digging down at LR. And so this weirdly narcissistic, over-protected, professionally deviant club/industry - bar the odd Fans Forum - goes on its own largely accountable way - that WE help finance and support. | |

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I would expect the club would have player injury insurance. Hopefully, they will have received something for Richards' time out but who knows how much that would be? |  | | |

What’s the difference if the club terminates and pays him off now or if he runs down his contract squeezing every penny?
The club cannot contractually nor legally do this? Backlash from PFA? Needs mutual consent?
Or the club hopes he could come good? (Or he thinks he could make a comeback?) |  |

It's also presumably a FFP issue, both through one hit of his wages and also writing off the transfer fee in one go. But yes there might be an outside chance of us getting rid of him, at least on loan in the next couple of years. |  | | |
