Tim Breacker: Approaching 300 Days of Paid Gardening Leave!
And a week since QPR Chairman was quoted in the press as saying he was unhappy with the departed Chief Operating Officer, Graham Mackrell over Tim Breacker, and the Mail writing that Breacker hoped to have it resolved within 48 hours, thus far no announcement by Plymouth or QPR that the issue has been resolved.
As reported in the Daily Mail and The Sun last Thursday (November 16)
Daily Mail "The Screamer" Mackrell sacked by QPR over compensation row
QPR have sacked chief operating officer Graham Mackrell following a row over compensation for former assistant boss Tim Breacker.
Breacker is still on gardening leave nine months after leaving the club at the same time as ex-manager Ian Holloway and chairman Gianni Paladini has accused Mackrell of blundering over pay-off negotiations. Breacker hopes to agree a settlement within 48 hours so he can join Holloway at Plymouth.

Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini has accused Mackrell of bungling pay-off negotiations.
Breacker hopes to agree a settlement so he can link up again with Holloway at Plymouth. But Paladini said: “I was unhappy with Graham’s involvement.
“I believe the pay agreement is back in place but I didn’t feel I can work with Mr Mackrell"

As Ian Holloway was quoted almost three weeks ago "Holloway wants to hire him, but an agreement that had almost been reached with the London club seems to have collapsed. "I feel for Tim at the moment," Holloway said. "QPR are being a bunch of idiots. They're still paying him, but they've reneged on certain things that they said they were going to do and there's no deal any more. I can't understand it, to be perfectly honest with you. I don't what QPR are doing. It's absolute madness. I don't think you should treat people like that, and I'm very, very, very disappointed, to say the least." Plymouth
