There's the very heavy hand of an agent at play here. Best thing he could do, and I'm not just saying it, is smash the fcking tits off next season, and be next summer's Eze, when he'll have his absolute pick of clubs. Obviously it'd be nice for us if he extended his contract before doing that. |  | |  |

I think you may be right there. Make him one of the better paid players and sign him for another year or so and tell him he'll get much richer if he becomes top dog here for another season. Or not! |  |

| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

But if you're the agent you're saying don't sign the deal, stay and get off to a flyer, in January or next summer you'll be cheap as chips for a buyer - i.e. what happened with Austin. |  | |  |

Well the other way of looking at it is he's losing money every week at the moment sitting there on his existing deal which his agent has told him not to sign. Let's say he's on £5k a week atm, and QPR offered him £10k in January (for instance) then he's already £160,000 poorer now than he would have been if he'd signed the deal. If he stays through next season on that same deal then he's £390,000 lighter than he would have been. If he gets picked up by a Premier League club next summer on compensation only, then that's small fry, they'll triple that just to sign, and he'll be right. But if next season doesn't go well, and he gets injured or something, then he might be wondering why he was advised to leave £390,000 sitting on the table to try and scrabble together a deal that may or may not happen next summer. |  | |  |

If I'm QPR I'm talking to him about a one year extension with a % of transfer kicker. If he knows he's getting 10% of the fee and that the bids will be much lower if he's only got 6 months left, it might convince him to sign for mutual benefit |  | |  |

The agent has obviosuly been pushing the fcking Belgium deal, like the Sunderland lad who ended up in Bordeaux. If he has rejected that for good (not just haggling for more money) then it miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be a small opportunity. |  | |  |
| Bright on 18:47 - Aug 7 with 4656 views | BazzaInTheLoft | Maybe i'm being a tad optimistic, but I reckon 15 to 20 of the clubs in the Championship are going to be in a absolute mess next season because of a mixture of relegation, FFP, and Covid. It feels surreal to say this but QPR must seem like a pretty stable option right now. |  | |  |

Player pockets more cash in this scenario through a hefty signing on fee in lieu of a cheaper or no transfer fee. |  | |  |

Who cares about stability? If he is offered a contract by any club, just sign it. Unlike other debt, they Have to honour a player's contract. If they offer it, he'll get it... |  |

Unless the club goes in to administration. |  |

| Bright on 19:39 - Aug 7 with 4378 views | barbicanranger | I'd care about stability right now particularly at BOS' time in his career. This next move is big for him in terms of where he could go as a player. That's why from the start I haven't understood his posturing or intentions - sign an extension with us, continue to develop get your right move when it comes. Our club has already shown in Freeman deal that you can sign an extension and still get your move. |  | |  |

Not sure that there is an example of a club going into Administration and the precious players not getting paid. Liquidating the club a la Bury and Aldershot maybe, but to exit Administration, whilst debt may be reduced, football debt has to be repaid in full, or at least it had to. ... and the reference to not caring about stability is what I think players and their agents think. Once they have signed that contract, they will get every penny owing one way or another... Just remember, through this crisis, when their employers have had limited income and have furloughed and laid off non playing staff, the best the players could come up with was a deferral. Not a wage cut, but a deferral. We'll still get our money, no matter what... |  |
