FORMER Tranmere Rovers assistant manager Richard Hill has been suspended by Queens Park Rangers following the brawl with the China under 23 team last week. Hill, the number two to John Gregory at Loftus Road, was allegedly involved when fighting erupted in a friendly between the Chinese tourists and a QPR side. Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini is holding an internal inquiry while the FA and the Chinese FA are also conducting investigations. A QPR statement said: “Following the incident on the training ground of February 7 and the subsequent police investigation of the matter, QPR have suspended assistant manager Richard Hill from his duties until further notice.” China’s Zheng Tao in suffered a broken jaw in the fight. Hill worked as assistant to Brian Little at Tranmere for two years following his appointment in November 2003. |
