    I don't think it's rubbish there are plenty on here willing to mock the afflicted, I however do not get any joy from that either.

    Your Chairman promised to shake up F1 and deliver success with Lotus/Caterham - your owner managed a best placed 11th out of any race in the 2012 season. Doing is different from saying pal, there's no smoke without fire. Before you start barking on about projects and long term, I present to you Team Brawn GP.

    I live in Manchester thanks, takes me 15 minutes to get to the ground on match day through a crowd of 75,000 how about you? An hour at least to get to the other end of the road through your 600 fans?

    Anyhow you're clearly good mates with Mittal so you know best.

    Worry not. There will be plenty of time to laugh at the Toon fans. Is there anything funnier than a fat Geordie crying?

    You know the image - 25 stone, bald, ****ty tattoo of Shearer, tears dripping down their nose as they lose another cup final/relegation/Sunderland derby etc. And that's just the women!

    Yeah sure alright <ok>. You live in Essex and travel up with the hundreds of other plastic prawn sandwich eating glory hunters. (And you know it).

    PS
    Our 600 make more noise than your 75K and thats a fact!

    There are some very sad individuals out there. I have never been on another teams board to make a comment, I don't care about other teams. If they get their kicks from laughing at a player who turned them down, so be it, let them get on with it. At the end of the day, it's now been confirmed that we offered Remy the SAME money as Newcastle and he chose London over Newcastle.............and that's something you can sit back and relax about, you live in London, they live in Newcastle.

    As an added note, M'Vila turned us down and chose Russia (which WAS for financial reasons) since then I have not given the fella a second thought. If he got injured in pre-season training I couldn't give a toss and certainly wouldn't create a thread to celebrate it. As I say, very sad little men.

    And as for the United fan, no doubt he lives in London too so can't mock him for that but when it comes to our owners I have no doubt he would rather their owners used their own money instead of borrowing hundreds and hundreds of millions against the club?? Also, the Mittals? They lose or make £500m a week depending on the exchange rate, a few million on a couple of footballers isn't going to hurt them too much.

    It's great that all these "Big" clubs are so concerned about little old QPR these days isn't it??

    We must be ruffleing a few feathers amongst these "bigger" clubs followers so we must be doing something right otherwise they wouldn't give us a second thought.......lets face it 2 years ago nobody outside spoke about the R's, now they can't stop......

    That's only cos your manager has been involved in more dodgy dealings than Del Boy and Arthur Daley put together though! He makes it his business to know everybody else's business.

    How do you even know how much we offered to pay Remy to be able to confirm that you offered the same ? Oh someone at your club told you so it must be true !

    And lastly, the thread I started was not to celebrate Remys injury...it was more the fact that it raised a little bit of a smile in the corner of my mouth at the irony of him getting injured and was meant as more of a tongue in cheek poke fun type of thing!

    Fair play to him if he can make his way though 70,000 tourists in 15 mins as they are usually a nighmare to navigate past.

    Hold on a second?! Some crazy statments made here although I can't argue with your first point. When a bigger club comes along then the player goes and every player has their price. Look what happened with Ronaldo.

    Almost 2/3rds of our club is owned by three guys who have a combined wealth in the billions. Added to this they operate predominantly in a rapidly growing Asian market so there wealth is growing exponentially.

    As for Mittal not being interested in football you literally do not know that. Shared interest with his son in law, all of evidence when is at the games he enjoys himself. Could go on to explain this more but its pointless as I&#8217;ve already said you really don&#8217;t know the extent of his interest or even if this matters or the interest of his son in law Amit matters more.

    As for &#8220;losing colossal amounts of money&#8221;. Don&#8217;t be so daft. Share price of his main company may be down on last year but that&#8217;s not real cash and it will of course recover. A bad year for his main company see&#8217;s profits of over $1 billion dollars. Oh no!! Poor guy lets have a whip round. I mean last April his personal fortune is only £12.7bn

    At least he&#8217;s managed to only last month to sell a stake in an iron ore company for $1.1 billion. Maybe we won&#8217;t need that whip round after all.

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100347724/Ar..._Stake_in_Canada_Iron_Ore_Unit_to_POSCO_Group

    I like the fact we are upsetting the football snobs now that we have owners who are trying to improve ourselves by investing in us.

    &#8220;The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.&#8221;

    First sentence.....you have evidence of this off course or is it just a general perception or hear say?

    Secondly it's shrewed business to know what others are doing.......

    Haha seems I've woken a few people up around here.

    Comments all duly noted, £500m here £500m there...what about the 16 (Sixteen, SIXTEEN) Billion that Arcelor Mittal dumped in one year? Now as far as I'm concerned, that's a big nasty loss that he won't shrug off.

    Don't get me wrong, I've no gripe with QPR you can carry on doing whatever the hell you want, but in fairness, like City and Chelsea you have to prepare yourself for being put under the microscope when you throw money at everything that moves when that breaks the financial infrastructure at your club. The financial model at United is working well, you can tell me that we had £1bn on debt but this year that figure will fall below £300m and we are more than capable of floating the football club at around £2bn.

    I don't hate QPR, or Harry Redknapp (much) you're a loyal and passionate club as far as your fans are concerned, Fernandes is clearly a good guy with good intentions but he's sticking his fingers in pies that don't concern him. He's playing with fire, he had to step down at Caterham because he didn't know what he was doing by his own admissions, he has no experience at rearing a football club in the top flight.

    I have never been to Essex for the record.

    I've never tried a plastic prawn sandwich...

    Is it actually FACT? Can you prove this? Give me evidence that your stadium often accomplishes noise above 94 Decibels and I'll let you have that one, because that's the only way to prove it, by measuring...shame that, because if opinion mattered London clubs would win everything...unfortunately, you couldn't merge a London side to even challenge a Manchester side and that mate, that's a FACT.

    Look Essex boy you obviously know nothing about our club or our owners, okay maybe you like F1 and read a few snipets from the 'Sun'.
    ManU could be this biggest timebomb if those 'Quakers' decide to leave, however i am sure you would have a few wanting to buy.

    Your club recently had fans wearing 'Yellow and Green' scarfs because they were worried about the future, so you are no different to any other club?

    Now as you said you are not bothered about QPR so run along and book your coach up to Manchester for the next home game.
    PS
    Don't forget to pack your 'Prawn sandwich'. <ok>

    You been sniffing Mr Sheen sunshine?

    Make your mind up, do I get the train up from Essex or do I sit in my armchair watching on the tele? I get the 'experince' at every home game more or less, I get in my car whip over to NV Buildings in Salford Quays where my mate lives and we walk through the Lowry Village across the bridge and into Old Trafford. Tell me how to upload a picture, I'll show you Deansgate Hilton from my office and I'll write whatever you say on a piece of paper if you're that desperate for proof, or is it that you just have no imagination so you use the same old tired banter that every other non-united fan has to say...snooze.
