In a strange way it is good to be out of the top flight....the last 2 seasons have been very depressing....What really is the point of being in the top division when you know you have absolutely no chance of winning it?
Because: - sometimes you get to see your team sometimes give the big boys a game - Chelsea home and away, City a t home. Its very satisfying - although I've seen some very poor teams (including us) this season, the football is still light years ahead of the Championship - we might not be able to win it, or compete at the top now, but in 10 years who knows? Tony's investment may pay off, or equally likely, the financial side of this 'industry'' may collapse (its a sub prime market after all), leveling the playing field in the blink of an eye - because we have ambition, hopes and dreams. At a club like QPR these have to include top flight footy. If we were Aldershot, bless them, it might be different. It's not good to be out of the Prem at all. We now have a war of attrition to get out of the mire, it will only be fun if we crush the NPC. Unlikely.
Ok Stan...point taken....but - I would be very surprised if sky, premier league, uefa would allow football to collapse to such an extent that the playing field is levelled, it is now a continent wide industry, although i agree it would have a positive effect if more teams could challenge the big 2 or 3 sides in each country. - There is now no chance of consolidating within the EPL, it is a fight to survive from the minute you are promoted, the 2 or 3 ganes a year when the big sides are brought down to earth by the R's does not compensate for the other 30 odd games when we are grateful for a point off wigan (no dis-respect only used as an example if HP Sauce is reading this!). I would be delighted if we could re-gain the swagger & style we played with in the mid 70's, 80's and early 90's, but i fear that the need to survive when we do get back into the top flight will knock that back out of us..... - At least in the NPC we have a chance of winning more games than we have during the past 2 seasons and with that we will all be happy....fed up with saying to Mrs TR "lost again" and receiving the reply "so what's new"..... - In 10 years hopefully we can be a competative side in the EPL and the ambition can not be knocked but if it comes at a cost of the soul being removed from our club as it has been in the last 2 years is it really worth it...?
I think Mancini deserved the sack. He had 3 years (correct me if I'm wrong) to make a good time and he bought with no logical sense. He just wanted more and more players every year without getting the best out of players he already had
His three title wins with Inter were two that Juventus won but were stripped of and the third was when Juventus were relegated as punishment and AC Milan had a ten point penalty. A very lucky man then and followed it by landing in the Candy Store at Man City. Can't be compared to Fergie, Wenger or Mourinho...
Personality of a scrotum and couldn't speak the language after 3 years, even his ****ing haircut was awful, total fraud
I wonder what our targets/benchmarks were this season, after Mark Hughes, a year ago, indicated something along the lines of, "never again under my management will our team be put in this (relegation) situation again".
Just wondering what are the thoughts of a transfer window for coaches (managers) as we have for bringing in new players. I know that some will say no because under such a system we could not have got rid of that useless plank mark hughes, but then Martin O'Neil and Roberto Di Matteo would still be at Sunderland and chelski. I think that this is something for the future what do you think?
