QPR OFFICIAL SITE - PLAYERS RELEASE -- Saturday, April 29, 2006
Today, following talks with Gary Waddock, several players have been released from Queens Park Rangers.
Those who still have contracts outstanding will be placed on the transfer list and those who have come to the end of their deals will be released.
Georges Santos, Richard Langley, Sammy Youssouf, Marcin Kus, Ryan Johnson and Luke Townsend will not be offered new deals by the club.
Stefan Moore, Tommy Doherty, Ian Evatt, Ugo Ukah, Marcus Bignot, Steve Lomas, Matthew Hislop and Marc Bircham will all be placed on the transfer list.
Waddock said: "Undoubtedly this is the part of management that no one in charge of a football club ever wants to do.
"But these decisions have to be made for the sake of the club as a whole. "After the summer, I want this to be a new era,
not just a new season and I have to start planning for that now. "I felt that those who I have released don't fit in
with my plans for next season, but I would like to thank them for their efforts and hard work throughout their time at QPR."

me Murty's late penalty helped Championship champions Reading set a new league points record of 106.
Murty's strike - only his second goal in 280 Reading appearances - ensured the Royals topped Sunderland's previous record of 105 in the 1998-99 season.
The Royals led thanks to Dave Kitson's 40th-minute tap-in after John Oster cut the ball back across the six-yard box.
Paul Furlong's drive on 72 minutes made it 1-1, but Murty secured the win with Reading's 99th goal of the season.
It was the 31-year-old club captain's first goal of the season and ended his record of being the only regular outfield starter yet to score for Reading during this campaign.
Reading fans were in celebratory mood from the start at the Madejski stadium, knowing that the club was on the verge of setting a new record for points - and just three goals short of a century.
They seemed to be on the way to achieving both goals when Kitson netted his 22nd goal of the season five minutes before the break for Steve Coppell's men.
Rangers' 25-year-old veteran Furlong looked to have spoiled the party somewhat, however, when he popped up with a smart finish to level with 18 minutes remaining.
But Murty's rare goal sparked wild celebrations in the stands and from his team-mates.
Reading manager Steve Coppell:
"You spend your life in football working for moments like this.
"It's true we fell one short of achieving 100 goals for the season but that's not really going to spoil my break when I am sitting on the beach and sinking a few beers.
"What I will reflect on is collecting the trophy on the pitch in front of the home fans. That really topped the season off."
QPR acting manager Gary Waddock:
"We decided to have a go at Reading and see how they coped with us.
"It will have been a good experience for our younger players.
"I'm planning for next season, somebody has to do it, but you will have to ask the chairman if I'll be the manager."
