The 44-year-old was filmed by the Daily Telegraph as part of an investigation alleging corruption in football, apparently negotiating a fee to travel to Singapore to speak to a fake Far East firm and discussing the possibility of signing players from them.
QPR launched an internal investigation into the claims but have now ended that due to a lack of concrete information.
The club released a statement which said, “The club contacted and communicated with all the major parties involved, including The Telegraph, who failed to provide the club with the information previously requested.
“Despite a number of requests from both the club and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s legal team for the information relating to the inferences made on September 28, including video footage and a full transcript of the discussions that took place, nothing has been forthcoming.
“As a result, and in the absence of any further evidence, the board fully back Jimmy and his explanations relating to these inferences.”

If this is the case then QPR and the COACH should sue the telegraph for defamation of character
win the case and show the country that the media are good at fabricating the truth, telling lies and can ruin peoples reputations.
