    I was wondering how we were paying everyone with the owners not giving us money anymore. It just gets worse, doesn't it?

    If we hear the message from TF that the club needs to sustain itself etc then the exit door is close
    I haven't been involved in many project in terms of promoting them that hasn't been about making money
    TF in football can now be told IMO as one of the footballing business disasters of all time. Both football and Racings Cars have been what?

    It shouldn't require millions of pounds to show the world you are a nice bloke which he is

    Really wasting a great vision for our club .... I want German efficiencies and French flair and English grit although that may need to be imported from Lafarge

    Will somebody please explain to me why people are concerned about owners wanting both a successful football club and to make money? If owners weren't successful businessmen they wouldn't be in a position to buy clubs and fund them with the millions required to challenge for a place at the top table (unless of course, you are Russian mafia or an Arab prince pissing away his country's oil wealth). Old Oak is a great opportunity for both QPR, enterprising businessmen and the millions of people looking for homes in London so where's the downside? Someone is going to make money out of a development like this and my preference is that it should be the owners of QPR rather than the so-called QPR supporters who own Car Giant.

    Oh, and by the way, the possibility of extending Loftus Road has been analysed in depth by experts working for both Braitori/Ecclestone and by the current owners and neither study came up with viable options. Even building up (assuming it would be allowed which is highly unlikely) requires at least some additional land to the sides which is simply not available.

    Sounds good in principle. I think the concern arises when those football club owners appear to be making a colossal mess of it.
