QPR's Week in Review: AGM Reports..New Coach...China Fine...New Fan Boards

-
This was the week that began with various accounts of the June 15 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and ended with the FA fining QPR over the China Brawl.

Also this week, a week after it was first reported in the press that QPR were interested, QPR appointed a new Assistant Manager: Colchester's Mick Harford. Mick Harford explained why he joined QPR
And in an unsual step, QPR publicly posted on its official site that the club had turned down two offers from Colchester for Ray Jones and one offer from Fulham for Lee Cook.

FAN SITES: Meanwhile for fans posting on messageboards, some changes and some added options:
"Battletank," the creator of the old .org (which was "THE" fan site) resurfaced with a Battletank's New QPR.org site.
Another new site QPRFANS, which is really a messageboard, also was launched.
Meanwhile the Official QPR Site adopted its new look.
A Comprehensive list of QPR Fan Messageboards was listed on the blog this week
