Rumour of Departure of QPR's Chief Operating Officer, Graham Mackrell
-
Alleged but NOT Confirmed...!
The assertion has been made on QPR Fan Messageboards that QPR's Chief Operating Officer, Graham Mackrell is no longer with the club. A couple of other posters have "confirmed" this assertion. But in reality it has yet to be confirmed - or even alluded to - by the club.
There has been no announcement from the club (but likewise no denial of the assertion). The Club's Staff Page continues to lists Mackrell as Chief Operating Officer.
