    If he was chairman of another club I could almost believe that he's trying to provoke the type of backlash that would give him an excuse to throw the table up

    Questions being thrown at him about £200 million debts. The fact he's blown Caterham out looks ominous...

    Each game gets bigger for us. A win tomorrow will take pressure off TF, and if we play like we did in the first half against the scousers, we should take 3 points. Anything less will not be good enough. Draw or lose, Harry will have one foot in the grave, with the other foot dependent on taking points from Chelsea and Citeh

    Will anyone who is 'compos mentis' buy a football club owing £200 million and facing a £50 million FFP fine?...

    That depends on the club in question's assets and prospects. In QPR's case that probably means a no.

    Unlike back home Malaysia there's no influential political backing that guarantees business success here in the UK.

    There's too many ifs and buts to be alarmed but I wouldn't even think that the Mittals would buy the remaining stake for £1 as it stands.

    There's other investors behind TF too and he also mentions Air Asia in the same breath and I doubt he'd be wanting out on that for a while.

    IMO he's feeling a bit insecure and wants some public support to lift him.

    Not forgetting the £15m on Loftus Rd.

    No ifs or buts on £200m debt. £15m loan on Loftus Rd and you are not alarmed!

    Public support? ... Live by the sword etc etc ... I doubt if TF could disappear away from the public eye on any front ... He loves it

    And this isn't even a QPR fan.

    Good and very relevant questions posed by QPR REPORT. Not holding my breath for answers.

    If ijtaylor@pi/mcsquared2468dualcarriageway or whatever wants a suitably upbeat instagram to assure everyone everything's absolutely fine and calm the masses, I'm always available.

    I'd be alarmed if I thought he was looking for an immediate exit. I don't think he is though.

    I'd question the motives of the comment by a non-QPR fan - we've built up a lot of resentment.

    I said last week but it got a bit lost, due to my confusion of the three stone comment. Every one at QPR (apart from the media team) should be banned from social media, from now util the end of the season. Harry should only talk to the press about the game that is coming up or the one that has just been played. Those who have work outside of the club should be there to talk about the game at hand and that is it. The press will soon get bored about talking about us if we just keep out of their way. Let them talk about Liverpool and united s**t seasons rather than ours

    So far TF has not delivered on his two projects. He has put in some money and talked a lot but I repeat there has been no real results yet.

    Both of his projects are results based and he has failed at Caterham

    There will be plenty more rich people to come to QPR if TF was to go

    Make no mistake he is right when he says the buck stops with him and I fully respect him for that

    Time to make things happen

    Talk is cheap

    I love Tony, and am 100% convinced that he genuinely is a good guy who really has the best interests of the club at heart. But he&#8217;s his own worst enemy. He&#8217;s someone who absolutely has to feel that he is liked, and is so eager to please everyone. That&#8217;s admirable on the one hand, but IMHO it has two major downsides.

    Firstly, it makes him susceptible to being manipulated by people with more self-serving and cynical agendas then he has (whether that be by Coaches, agents, or even further back with Bernie and the F1 mob). That&#8217;s why he paid over the odds to buy the club, that&#8217;s why we spent too much on agents and on their mercenary players. That&#8217;s why he was too late to act in sacking Hughes.

    The other big drawback with his need to be liked is that both he and the club have become way too trigger happy in making announcements about ostensibly &#8220;good news&#8221;. This is a real bug-bear for me. Sometimes when it concerns relatively petty things it&#8217;s just mildly irritating, like all that talk about changing the club crest or going back to thicker full hoops. Other times though, when it concerns issues of major importance to the whole future of the club it&#8217;s actually quite infuriating. The training ground and new stadium are prime examples of this. Neither were anywhere near done deals when they were announced some time back, and as we stand now, at least one if not both are very unlikely to happen at all.

    I&#8217;d really like to see him get off Twitter completely. His occasional inferences that he could just walk away from the club help absolutely nobody. They're also quite alarming when set against the background of what&#8217;s currently happening at Caterham. Not only that but the trolls just love that kind of thing. They are a pack of wolves who feed off of bringing other people down, and when they he shows a sensitivity to their criticism they can smell blood.
