    Ditto. I resigned myself to relegation some weeks ago. I can cope with the despair, its the hope I can't stand.

    yes i saw tony's face on sky & that said it all dumfounded, the guys good for the club & long may he stay at the helm.

    we've got to start from scratch again as this lot can't put a decent shift in, i really thought we were going places this season but what i've seen has been unbelievable & can't get to grips with it, next up will be player of the season can you one because i can't, oh hang on yes ryan nelson & he's only half a season & that about sums it up.

    Even Nelsen left us in the lurch!

    When you think with all the money that Hughes and Harry have handled what an amazing job Colin did for the R'ss

    I feel bad for him but then I remember he wanted to keep that twat Hughes at QPR for even longer.
    Hughes would probably still be here pleading for more time and denying it was his fault if it was up to TF.

    I just hope hes learned from it.

    Not really, he started it by signing SWP and Barton who were no better than what we had but were on 4-5 times the money.

    Getting thrashed at home first game of the season by a team who had not won at LR since Victoria was on the throne should have had the alarm bells ringing, we have not been good enough from the word go, going to SE Asia in the summer to play the Ladyboys XI and the PingPong Ball Squirters whilst 'real' teams are having challenging fixtures again should have had the alarm bells ringing too. I for one will be far more relaxed and content when we finally are back in the Championship because in all fairness to all the other teams in the PL it is where we belong. I just really hope that DT doesn't keep banging on about this being the greatest squad that we have ever had. The most disinterested yes but not the most talented. Such a pity but hey we are QPR and hopefully we will be back.

    Not sure if Warnock or Tony signed Barton it seems that we had Ashley Williams and Scott Parker in our sights and Barton was a last minute job.

    Panic signings like the Puncheon farce.

    The 2 permanent signings set us back years, we instantly gained the reputation that we will pay massive wages to old past it players.

    TF has been naive and can be held accountable for that

    Letting Hughes & jooribichan sign whoever they wanted was poor management
    Holding onto Hughes 'we have 100% faith in him' whilst we broke all the terrible PL records was poor management
    Letting nelsen 'break' his contract and then call it 'bad luck' was just plain stupid - he signed the contract, hold him to it. After all you've told Barton its the club with the final say. He got that one completely wrong

    All in I can't say I hold TF responsible, no that was Hughes BUT he has been useless in guiding the club since he took over. Maybe he should have better advisors - for all the money he's spent he's plainly got that wrong

    All the gear, no idea

    Hope he likes the pie at Barnsley

    TF got lucky, when he started he had a top, top Manager for a song, who would have brought in the right players for a song, as he'd tried to do all summer before TF came in without getting the relatively small amounts he needed. But instead of backing him as he should he fired him, and brought in a proven slow start Manager. TF has put his wealth into the Club, but not any football savvy. No wonder he's feeling sick now.

    TF is a hero in my eyes. He MUST stay and we will be fine.
    I am still not giving up this season: Four winnable games, three at home, coming up. Admittedly, I can't see it happening, but, who knows, who REALLY knows.
    If I could be there on Saturday, I would be singing his name. If everyone there does it will convince him that he can't and shouldn't run away. He may just be feeling as low as we all are thereby not thinking straight.
    We (and TF) are QPR!
