If true, this shows a man with real high morals and not in the game for money at all...

QPR manager Iain Dowie will get sacked, even if he guides the club to Promotion. Dowie has agreed a £1m pay-off if the west London club reach the Premier League as billionaire owners Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone would want a high profile manager. (The People)

    nothing to do with money in football suprises me WSS- the biggest suprise will be if he does get them promoted- At least it demonstrates that he has an agent who has the ability to negotiate a decent contract......

    Aledgedly of course.

    Look at it from QPR's point of view re. progressing the club.

    They employ a manager with a *reasonable* track record of motivating a team and getting them up the league. If he gets them promoted it's "thank you very much and here's your £1m bonus". Then they get a manager to KEEP them in the Prem - something we all know Dowie's not suited for.

    They've got what they think is the right man for the job in the current circumstances (Championship football). If/when they get promoted, they'll get the right man for the job then. It's the same as a team signing new players - you get the people to do specific jobs at specific times.
