QPR "unable to proceed" with investigation into Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink allegations

Queens Park Rangers announce that they are "unable to proceed" with their investigation into corruption allegations surrounding Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

Queens Park Rangers have announced that their investigation into corruption allegations surrounding manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have been put on hold.

The Championship club have claimed that The Telegraph, who secretly filmed Hasselbaink as part of their investigation into illegal activity in the sport, have not yet provided all the relevant details.

The newspaper has alleged that Hasselbaink was open to the prospect of signing players represented by a fake Far East firm looking to get around the Football Association's ban on third-party ownership.

QPR provided an update on the situation via their official website in a statement, which read: "QPR can confirm that we are currently unable to proceed any further with the club's internal investigation at this stage, as The Telegraph are yet to provide full and complete unconditional disclosure of all the information it has, despite a number of requests from both the club and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's legal team.

"We urge The Telegraph to provide full disclosure of all its information relating to the allegations, including video footage and a full transcript of the discussions that took place.

"The club believes this information should not be provided selectively, but unedited and unconditionally, in order for the club to view the full context and the sequence of what was said by all parties to include in its investigation.

"Once again, we appreciate the QPR fans want this issue dealt with as quickly as possible, which is why we request full cooperation from The Telegraph in providing us with the aforementioned footage and transcript.

"Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, his staff and the R's players remain 100% focused and committed on the job in hand, and as a club we would encourage our supporters to show their passionate and loyal support, as they always do, when we play Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship tomorrow (Saturday) lunchtime."

Meanwhile, Southampton assistant boss Eric Black is the latest football figure to be implicated in the newspaper's investigation.
