#mustread #PremierLeagueStories on Dec 31 1992 – The door on #LesFerdinand deal slammed shut

Gerry Francis Queen Park Rangers

QPR manager Gerry Francis and Les Ferdinand himself slammed the door shut on any ambitious clubs wanting to follow Newcastle United’s example and make a huge bid for the 26-year-old striker. Francis said “This club doesn’t have to sell, Ferdinand, Sinton and Bardsley have all recently signed new contracts. I expect a little loyalty in return. I expect people to honour their contracts.” Ferdinand too swatted any speculation away and said: “I just want to get on with my job here or I’ll be dropped.”
