Peter Odemwingie gets slammed with a fine of £75,000 after a botched attempt to quit WB.

The most bizarre incident of the transfer window took another twist today when a picture emerged of a QPR shirt with Peter Demwingie's name printed on the back.
The West Brom striker turned up at Loftus Road on Thursday ready to complete a move to Rangers, only to be turned away by staff when it became clear no deal had been agreed between the two clubs.
Odemwingie - who had spoken to journalists outside the ground about his delight at the imminent move - was then forced to return to West Brom.
The picture above was posted on Twitter this morning - the West Brom players apparently having had Odemwingie's name printed on a QPR jersey and left it for him in the dressing room at the club.
Baggie Boss Steve Clarke said yesterday: “I am sure he has annoyed his team-mates. There always has to be a way back.

“I think there has been a number of high-profile cases where there is a way back. It’s not going to happen overnight, it’s going to happen over time.
“I can’t say for sure but I don’t think he’s played his last game for the club.
“Maybe he has to apologise. Maybe he has to get back into the squad. Maybe he has to show his team-mates he is willing to help them.”
Based on this evidence it seems they may be ready to forgive, if not forget the striker's aborted attempts to quit the club.
West Brom have taken disciplinary action against striker Peter Odemwingie in respect of his conduct over the past fortnight,” the club confirmed. “Odemwingie has accepted his punishment. He will now resume full training with his team-mates and is available for first-team selection.”

In reaction to the fine he received, Odemwingie said: “I understand how my actions have been viewed and I want to apologise to the club and our supporters for any distress I have caused.
“I want to reassure everyone at the club and our fans that I will continue to give my all whenever I am selected. We have enjoyed a good season so far and I aim to play my part in keeping the club as high up the table as possible.”
Albion chairman Jeremy Peace added: “This has been an extremely difficult time for the club and it was imperative that we dealt with such a serious matter both fully and correctly.
“We made our position very clear throughout – both privately to Peter and publicly. Peter has apologised for his conduct to me personally and the club and our supporters as a whole.
“He has accepted his punishment and promised to comply with all club regulations moving forward. It was important that we resolved this episode as expediently as possible to enable everyone to focus on the most important issue at this club – competing in the Premier League.
