Fernandes spent over four hours persuading the 26 year-old that W12 was the right place for him to pursue his footballing career – and after the talks finished, the duo found time for a showdown on the world’s favourite football console game. “It was a special moment that followed our chat about QPR,” Remy told www.qpr.co.uk. “We just played a game of FIFA – it was good and showed to me what a good person Tony is. “He showed his human side to me as an owner of the club I wanted to join. It was a special moment for us both.” Playing as Bayern Munich, Remy triumphed 6-0 against Fernandes’s Argentina in game one, before the R’s Chairman fought back to claim a share of the spoils in an eight-goal thriller, only to lose on penalties. R’s CEO Philip Beard told www.qpr.co.uk: “They had great fun, but Tony told me he let him win! “But in all seriousness, it was a great way for them to get to know each other better. “Loic was Harry’s number one target and we’re delighted we’ve been able to pull this deal off. “There was a lot of interest in him from other clubs, because he is one of the hottest properties in Europe, so the fact we’ve managed to sign him is incredible.” Beard added: “This move isn’t motivated by money. “Loic has a passion and desire to achieve in his career and similar to (Julio) Cesar, he wanted to be part of our project. “We know we haven’t achieved our goals so far this season, but he wanted to come in and help us build for the future. “Tony is remarkable, he never gives up – that is his style – and he is as delighted as anyone that we’ve got this deal done.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Found this article fun as I'm FIFA 13 crazy myself. That's male bonding for you at it's best I love our Tone even more now. Why did they play FIFA 12 though Can't Tony afford the latest version?
Haha. Maybe the journo made a mistake. Or maybe Fenandes is bankrupt at the moment!! He probably had to sell FIFA 13 at the computer exchange.
Its not just Shearer, take a look at the BBC comments section and you will see everyone hates us. They cant comprehend little old QPR getting good players and want us to go down and go bust.
Cheers Norway. My, my, we really are unpopular aren't we?! There is a strange phenomenon in the UK. When an unknown or lesser known individual, outfit, organisation or indeed football club tries to better itself, the surrounding pack seem to do their best to pull them down and prevent their success. Thank goodness for men like Fernandes who are prepared to try to improve the club. Of course being as objective as possible, some of the comments resonate with our own anxieties. Could we be the next Pompey? Not impossible but I feel less likely given the different calibe of owners. Most of the comments are from small minded, jealous people who would love to at least be giving it a go themselves but can't and are reduced to sniping at those who are.
