    No chance. The lack of Charnley statement is interesting. Especially since we made a healthy profit.

    They don’t want the attention. Especially as we

    Underspent on players
    Repaid 33m of Ashley’s loan
    Won’t refund the season ticket money
    Refused to back Rafa
    The takeover in the offing.

    The interesting thing is, money was available for Rafa to buy Rondon, which would have meant him signing a new deal too. We would have probably held on to Perez as well. The money we spent on Joelinton could have been available for better players too.

    Ashley wouldn't have bought Rondon, despite him being on fire last season, he clearly fell outside Ashley's ******ed under 25 policy and had limited sell on value.

    Right so here we are, another day of **** all developments awaits...

    The scouts identified Joelinton. Charnley/ Ashley insisted on signing him. Rafa didn't want him. The straw that broke the camels back. Joelinton was agreed behind Rafa's back and he refused to sign a new contract.

    Rafa's Nacho Gonzales then?

    I think it was everything that made Rafa leave really - not signing Rondon, bringing in Joey, obviously nothing to build on and just having to make do with avoiding relegation every season.

    Agreed. Working under Ashley is impossible for anyone with any ounce of self respect.

    Notice that QPR are still yet to file their list of Directors etc at companies house which was due on the 27th May. They may well have done it and there's just a delay in it being published etc.

    I don't think we're too far away from an announcement like. Things have died down massively on this from the media side....the calm before the storm !!

    Wow, just wow.

    I didn't know we were cost cutting so much that we got an intoxicated chimpanzee to review the financial statements.... !

    Mind you this is the regime that employed Joe Kinnear on 2 separate occasions, so nothing surprises me these days...

    It's going to be another day of absolutely **** all, isn't it?

    If we do go past today and maybe this week, with the restart in a fortnights time, there's something badly ****ing wrong somewhere.

    Interesting that we effectively just wasted £40m when we had a player who could do the job better. Rafa knew best!

    The PL are a joke. An incompetent joke. They aren't fit for purpose.

    You only have to listen to Richard Masters bumbling along like a typically feeble politician to know what they're all about. I hope we get taken over and 8-10 clubs in the PL decide to breakaway.

    Two months since documents submitted. There is nothing particularly complex about this. I am confident it will go ahead.

    If we were Man Utd it would have taken two weeks.
