How will history look back at Ecclestone and Briatore at QPR?

    Without wishing him actual harm, we may not have too long to wait to read the real obituaries on Bernie. I suspect QPR will be a footnote compared to his impact on F1, and the stupidity of those who have handed him complete control of that sport. Briatore will be remembered as what he is - a convicted crook and cheat, in my opinion completely missing any moral or ethical compass. Impact on QPR - we were lucky they left when they did.

    Yes and it's very likely they've ****ed this season right up already,
    and more or less sent us back down again.
    But we'll see, COYRs<grr>

    North - they may have ****ed us up this season, but they didn't get rid of NW. In the last few years, NW is the only manager I can see getting this team fired up and putting fire in their belly and up for the fight.

    Point at Goodison today and I will be happy

    A couple of defenders should see us right. Now we should have a few quid to play with, Uncle Neil will sort it out, even if they are only on loan. Chin up Northy, we generally really on you for the ridiculous optimism!

    Hope I'm wrong Roller, but I feel we're up against it after that ridiculous pre-season.
    Hard enough as it is, without shooting yourself in the foot!

    As long as it was Big Dave doing the shooting, we will be fine.

    It will be tough, but we have got some tough characters involved. If Clint Hill had been one of those namby pamby players, he would have been rolling around on the ground like he'd been shot, rather than head butting the Bolton player! He, Derry, Gorkss (if they let him), Smith, Orr and of course, Warnock will fight all the way. DJ may prove to be a battler as well.

    They are poisonous and self-absorbed and nothing they did at QPR was altruistic. Luckily their warped and selfish plans coincided with our need to be saved from oblivion however. So, if Flavio was in charge of the pearly gates rather than St Peter and said, "Look, its nothing like what you've been told about in here but its salvation all the same and believe me its a damn sight better that the other place" would you walk away?

    Over time facts get distorted anyway. So as the years pass, record books, and anything written about the club will show that they pulled us back from the edge of the abyss & took us to the Premier league. Those are the facts! But what the record books won't show is the fact that they tried their hardest to make a complete balls up of it!
