I think Rhodes wants out. He wasn't happy last season (Bridcutt/Buckley style) and was dropped for some games. He obviously wants to step up a level and Blackburn don't want to sell to a Championship competitor. Rudy went to Villa very easily; my guess is that Rhodes would be gone if a top tier...
QPR are taking the football league to court over this. If they win, it's open season for the millionaires & billionaires who wish to throw away some cash on a Premier League gamble. I very much nope Boro's gamble does not pay off!
