Don't believe anything anymore. But IF it were true, that would be a positive move: That we were looking down the Leagues (even if don't know enough about this particular player)

QPR to make summer move for Cox
By Anthony Marshall »
CHAMPIONSHIP rich boys QPR are set to test Town’s resolve with a big money bid for Simon Cox in the summer.
Rangers have joined West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City in expressing an interest in Swindon’s top scorer, while Derby County have also been regular admirers of the 27-goal front man, pictured, during a prolific season.
The Hoops are owned by Formula One tycoons and multi-millionaires Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore, but despite their significant wealth have struggled to make any impression at the right end of the Championship and sacked head coach Paulo Sousa on Thursday night.
Sources close to the west London club have told the Advertiser that QPR chiefs see Cox as the man to fire them into the Premier League next year, and the 21-year-old has made no secret of his desire to play at a higher level.
Town chairman Andrew Fitton has always admitted he will not stand in the way of Cox leaving to further his career, if any potential deal can net Swindon a healthy profit on the £200,000 they recruited the front man for in January 2008.
Cox has already struck three hat-tricks this season and will be hoping to move closer to a 30-goal tally this afternoon at Brighton. And that feat, in a team struggling to avoid relegation, has caught the eye of scouts and managers across the country.
Reports claim QPR will put in a bid of £1.5million for the former Reading striker, however the Advertiser understands an offer around £1million is more likely to come from Loftus Road.
