From Sunday's matchday programme.

Last game of the season Terry Venables eent on the pitch to assure the faithful he was going nowhere.

Shortly after he was on a plane to Barcelona.

Guess there's nothing new in football eh?

My Mrs always refers back to this moment! Though as I tell her, at least TV was with us for the best part of 4 years and achieved a fair bit in that time...
FA Cup final
Championship (Div 2) champions
Qualifying for Europe

Heady days.....

I think he thought he was stitched up by Gregory at the time. Still, at least he went to a top European club like Barcelona as opposed to some footballing backwater where only two teams will ever win the league and even that is an exaggeration.

Venables never let Rangers down, either as a player or manager. It also does make me think what might have happened had he been the person to succeed Gordon Jago.

Poll: Where will Clive put QPR in his new season preview

if i recall and it was in papers, gregory offered qpr lock stock and barrel for £1m at the time. Barca had not won much then, in recent years and were trying to break real's grip and liverpool.
few could turn down a huge club . what a choker he left.

Indeed and in those days an English coach getting an opportunity like that was practically unheard of.

As you say he actually achieved things, not many can say that about their time here!

It was none other than Bobby Robson who recommended TV to Barcelona.
