He doesn't like English football either. Perfect. I suppose there is a vague chance he could be this season's Cisse, score a few goals and be suspended half the time. Nah. Non- starter.
So we are looking for quality players who actually want to play for QPR, not for the cash. Aren't we looking for a needle in a haystack?
Don't be silly. All we need to do is to add a couple of noughts to the weekly pay packet and he'll soon be kissing the badge and proclaiming how he always wanted to play here. He will prove to be a good lad , the right sort, just a bit misunderstood.
I have to be honest and say if I were a half-decent player there is no way I'd have anything to do with QPR, we are, once again, totally toxic...
The bottom line is that it is the CEO who does not know the game. Tony is a great guy he is a generous guy he wants us to do well etc, etc.... But he does not know the game. It is ludicrous to think that a team with a small ground like ours can buy expensive players on inflated salaries. Whatever you say about Harry I'll still bet that Fer and Mutch will be easier to shift than Cisse,Mbia, Diakite,SWP are! He has given Tony a football education (do not know philip beards background but can't imagine it's football). This game has changed for good and you need people at boardroom level who have an understanding of their a Club as well as a realistic vision and strategy. Why would anyone think that this is all Harry's responsibility?
PB ex CEO of the O2, part of London 2012 and AIG Sports Entertainment Not sure anyone ever suggested it's all Harry's responsibility - clearly he is allowed to operate relatively freely by the board who have given him a vote of confidence. But at the same time one might be hard pressed to find anyone arguing he is without any responsibility at all, more so if these latest rumours turn out to have any substance.
How did you feel when we won 1-0 away to Everton via a Tommy Smith goal in our second season of our first premier league season of 16 years after Warnock took us up? A team that was actually missing some of the main players who broughtt us up (i.e. no Taarabt), had no additions (due to the imminent sale) and fought for those three points? I felt proud. We had a team to really get behind, full of characters we really liked. They were ready to fight. Frenandes was an idiot to fire Warnock. It was a decision purely made on the desire to build his own brand of QPR, one that didn't contain a manager like Warnock. Fernandez is a playboy. He wants QPR to be glamorous and high class. He can **** off. I don't hate him but I wish he was only an investor and not a decision maker. Just as you say, he has stars in his eyes and wants to see quick success, even if he says otherwise. He tried to buy his way out of the championship last season. That nearly didn't pull off. We got lucky. I feel they've learned fro their mistakes but have only learned about 20% of what they should have learned. There are signs of them making long term plans but its a bit bloody late and they're still greedy and want instant results. As others are saying, Tony may be an ok fellow but he's ****ing QPR up. Put it this way: if Tony's dream came true and we suddenly worked our way up the table, became a high quality team but bought our success and didn't go anywhere near the culture and philosophy of our club's past? Would you like it? I wouldn't. I don't want us to become another European style, diving, sponsor before fans bullshit club. But here's the news.... even that above dream isn't working. We're just left with a shoddy team with no culture or personality, and not much to be proud about. What else is there to say?
I find it hard to believe that Fer, in particular, is likely to go..... Makes little or no sense - unless he has requested it...
I actually have my doubts about him. He's got some good qualities and scores somewhat regularly, but he is not a fighter at all and is the kind of player that looks better when the whole team is doing well. But I'd personally keep him and coach him in such a way that his bad habits change.
Yes. Plus I can't see anyone queuing up to sign any contract that guarantees their wages will be halved in the likely event of a relegation - Frankly I think we should stick with what we have - build on the home form we had started to develop - work on being more positive away from home and try to salvage something out of the season. At the same time - the board need to sit down and make a plan - a real one, with achievable goals, contingency planning and financial prudence.
Apparently the latest on the Osvaldo situation is that Roma want to tear up his loan agreement with Southampton but they've refused and said the only way out is for Roma to find another club to see out the loan. Guess which mugs they picked? The fly in the ointment is Osvaldo doesn't want to play for us but he's been told he's got no other takers...
And thats the sad thing. It pains me to say this about QPR but how many players would want to come and play for our club in the postion we are currently in and the way our club is being run, from the office bods to the coaching set up. This is why we will always have to pay over the odds to get outcasts and players with issues in on the last couple of days in the window. In many cases we are the last chance saloon for players that other teams would not touch with a barge pole due to being near or past the twilight of their playing career, or just being gifted but flawed hence bigger clubs have given up on them. Sorry, I know that's not completely true in all cases but looking at our recent dealings history will back me up on this statment.
If the geezer ain't committed now then we don't want him & club should tell him to fcuk off, can't believe we are leaving it this late for any transfers, probably end up with a pair of dogs come Monday night, I'm so passionate about this club but also very frustrated & at the moment pissed off with what's going on.
Funnily enough the radio commentators today said 'who would want to go to QPR?' and one said only if there's no alternative...
I had to come back to this post. It was a great feeling. I remember making my way up to the game and being at a very low point, as certain as could be we were in for another bashing. I was just hoping it would be a small margin. Yes.... A thinned out team. Paddy Agyemang was playing! Wow what a win!!!! Tommy Smith!!! His 100th goal at Watford took us up and 101st brought this victory. Brilliant!!!!!
We will not truly get the soul of our club back until we go back to how it was when we were "much better". Just imagine if we spent the all the millions of £$£ on a scouting network and academy + youth development policy instead of the many half halfhearted last day we are desperate please sign for us deals? OK, we would also need a manager unlike Harold who would give a few rough diamond players some 1st team chances. This for me would be the tonic, maybe a couple of years in the championship but time to let a squad and players develop. Yes some new Sir Les's will be snapped up and sold at profit but that's the nature of the beast. Right now our club needs all the £$£ we can get to try and p**s in the wind against the massive debt we have. I will always try my best to be positive about the R's but until uncle Tony changes his plan and Harold walks off into the sunset we need nothing short of a miracle to sort out this f**king shambles the club is in it's current shape! My heart says thank you Tony for the money and brief optimism you gave many of us, my head has woken up now and is screaming that you just don't understand what you have bough into and the history of it.
I would go with what we have, see out the season, see where we are new manager new ideas and build for the future
