Had to laugh at the official club site announcing a vacancy for a new media journalist. Here's the triumphant opening 3 lines: We are Premier League - and you could be too! We are expanding our media team at QPR to cope with the increased demands of life in the top tier of English football. But by the end of the job ad, reality sets in: This post will be a 12-month fixed-term contract. They might as well have added; Yeah, because Bernie's so tight, this time next year we'll back in the Championship
That's just common sense, given what could (and some might say probably will) happen. I'd be more surprised if they advertised it as a long-term deal. Of course,the other thing is that, if we do well this season, if we win some games against the 'big 4', if we punch above our weight and , in 12 months time the newspapers could be doing all the positive reporting we could ever need - far different from the way things are now.....
