Just back from Leicester and yet another shocking away performance
Leicester are a decent side but by no means world beaters, yet we conspired to make them look so
The lack of effort that a number of our players displayed was unforgiveable. Where was their personal and professional pride? We clearly have a group of players (not all) that have no respect for us the fans, the club, or indeed some of their fellow professionals
I've spent a depressingly large sum of money following the team again this season, yet there have been far too few matches where I've genuinely felt that the players really wanted to play for us or each other
I will be back next season, of course, but PLEASE Tony F - bring in players who want to play for QPR, not simply collect ludicrously large salaries

You want to hear CR post match Press conference saying "he thought there was pride in the performance"

I haven't heard it but if that's what he said then Ramsey clearly has low standards or is very easy to con
Either way not good attributes in a manager I'd say
You did well to stay up but next season will be as hard so don't get too confident because it might bite you in the A........
By the standards of everyone on here, Liverpool and Swindon should sack their bosses on the strength of today's results.
The idea that a club with 200 odd million debt, an average 60 million loss per season and the seventh highest wage bill in the country should keep the overpaid spine of the team and start throwing money at next season seems ludicrous.
Of course nobody at the club will say that survival is the goal but to avoid maintaining a huge annual loss (which everybody on here is equally angry at) we need to remove everyone on a high salary and everybody with a sell on and then rebuild cheaply - that much seems obvious for the survival of the club. In that situation, the best managers in the world would struggle to get us up but the general consensus is to throw another couple of million a year at a proven manager.
There's clearly no point because most seem to have no patience with anyone that the calls for the axe by September would be overwhelming.

Apparently that's what the Manager has said!
(I'll believe it when I see/hear it though)

Honestly, what else do you expect him to say? Would a John Carver type rant do the trick? Get this season done with and start from afresh in the summer. I'm excited about the next couple of months, and hopefully next season.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but imo it's way to early to make judgement on what might happen next season.
Very short sighted views with so muc wrong:
- with a debt as big as ours we need to get back in the prem. Model you are suggesting means a perpetual championship team like Ipswich is best case scenario. So that debt is never paid off
- is worth saying debt is virtually interest free so less pressure there
- Certain players will stay. Some we want too some we don't. But that's the nature of the business.
-Look at Norwich they kept some core players and assets they could haves sold, eg Redmond. Also held out to get the price they wanted on assets. Eg, Fer
- With the spine that stays. Eg, McCarthy, Onouha, Sandro, Phillips. You add to that to capitalise
- Austin is best case example here on highlighting your short termism. 4 million- 2 seasons as top scorer and 1 promotion we are likely to sell him for 4 or 5 times that.
- So let's buy those young players exceling at this level or league 1 so they can contribute now, and in the future whether that be us long term or selling on for money back or even a massive.
Also the Norwich example is a good one. They gave the permanent job to a youth coach who oversaw relegation. Only to get a proper manager later
Mate i am just gutted how this season has panned out. Upsets me to see what has happened.
This time last year, you, me Tooting and other R's were in a pub on cloud nine, a year later we are losing 5-1, finishing bottom, looking at a fine, losing all our better players and a manager that i think is out of his depth.
I want to stay positive but i see no reason to.
That's football for you....a metaphor for life. Take the rough with the smooth.
Take next season as it comes and enjoy it for what it is....it's football,a hobby, a good day out. Enjoy! What's the worst that could happen?
Durbar I will be making the short trip to HULL
I will also be going to Leeds, Huddersfield, Rotherham and other away grounds to see the mighty hoops.
Will you. guess not! Go follow Chelski

I have never been Joey Barton's biggest fan but after the game he was a class act. He was the only player to really applauded your support while the rest of your team scarpered. In return he got a decent applause from our fans which he returned
Still think he's a bit of a knob but theres a decent human being in there...somewhere
Good luck for next season
