OK how old are you guys? I was out last night and heard the headlines. My first reaction was "if you swim with sharks, why grumble when they bite you".
This morning nearly 10am and I'm still thinking that. Some of you guys have such a short memory - do you remember the "loads of money" attitude shared by so many of you. The "we've ONLY signed 10 players to get us back to where we BELONG "The Premiership"". Streuth can we get one or two things straight, there are only a few clubs who "belong" in the top flight of English football - and I've seen all of them (except Arsenal) in the 2nd division.
The more mature members of your board will note I have been saying that QPR's ticket prices have been too high for a while (bearing in mind the quality on offer at the Loft), and that there was an expected 40% hike in Season Ticket prices this summer. So right now what I must not do is say "told you so" whilst your roller coaster ride is on a downward spiral.
The board of Directors at your club are wealthy yet have loaded the club with debt (£35m in last 2 years), so they're not spending their own money whilst some of them are also drawing generous salaries from the club - and don't forget they will pay themselves promotion bonuses. These bonuses will be £ms, and all for what? Who got them promoted? I thought it was Colin who coached the team for 46 games etc.
What next? Protests and petitions ....... I'm not sure quite what this might achieve - Flavio Briatore, he was said to have left QPR after his scandal in F1 racing, so I'm not sure what difference this will make.
All in all I would say "what goes around comes around", the characters involved at QPR are widely acknowledged to be "sharks in their respective fields" and they are now starting to show their colours. Why do we think these people ever wanted to be involved in QPR? Obviously to make money but how much? It's not as if another £million is going to help Bernie Ecclestone's fortune?
