QPR respond as Ilias Chair's jail term for breaking man's skull with rock reduced
Queens Park Rangers have announced that they will carry out their own ‘disciplinary procedures’ over Ilias Chair.
The Morocco international recently saw his jail term reduced to 1,500 hours of community service and a fine of €1,600 (£1,343) after being convicted of breaking a man’s skull with a rock.
The incident happened after a kayaking trip in northern France when an altercation broke out with the man, a lorry driver. Chair claimed that his actions were because he felt he needed to defend members of his family.
