It would be nice if Joe Lewis decided to throw money at us, at a loss, just because he is a billionaire and he can but unlike others that doesn't happen and we're run as a business, hence our wage cap which means we can't compete with certain clubs for players.
Yes the Sturridge one was soft. We couldn't do any worse at your place next season so will be hoping to improve on shipping six! Fergie always says these things even themselves out but normally when they go for him!
Yes that is a good point. Tony Fernandes is trying to run us (QPR) as a sustainable business but not quite sure how we can compete with teams that have 40-60k supporters per week compared to our 18k. It will be interesting to see how the Financial Fair play pans out. I suspect there are ways round it althought the sentiment is sound.
Not really - if Roman hadn't shown up, or set up shop elsewhere, it's highly probable that Fulham vs QPR would be the only West London derby in the Premier League.
Now that his club has managed to luckily fluke a richly undeserved CL win, Abramovich may well now become bored with his hobby (having bought just about every trophy), and decide to disappear (with all the cash) to Russia and purchase an ice hockey team or something similar.
I never thought I'd say this on a Spuds board but this was one of the best, honest, well written articles I've read on not606. Bravo.
Thank you all for the comments of appreciation. They are much... er... appreciated It'll be interesting, if the Russian bows to the players and the fans and gives RDM a full-time role, just at what point "King" Matteo will do a "King" Kenny. We all know it's going to happen. I've got nothing against RDM; in fact, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke, but he cannot keep riding his luck. And, when the luck runs out, those who he thinks are his mates will just as quickly turn on him as they did on every other manager. In a way, I feel quite sorry for RDM. Surely, he'd be better off putting himself forward for the vacant West Brom job? Oh, wait...
he did'nt get enough time imo,but the players he brough were rubbish,apart from maybe Carroll,will come good.
i actually feel quite sorry for you, another season with happy harry the bottler, wonder how high he will get you next season before he crumbles.
a team of old men who won the FA cup AND the CL, and you make your own luck. chelsea are achievers and will keep going forward where as spurs are under achievers and will continue as so
It's funny how Chelsea's achievements have coincided with vast overspending, isn't it? Prior to that they were essentially West Ham minus the claret.
Spurs have spent a mere 40m less than Chelsea from 2006-2011 on purchased players. When is everyone going to change the much over played record?
