Just read this on the BBC Sport website and found it very interesting. QPR need a revamp from top to bottom, says Jermaine Jenas QPR's relegation proves that their players are not good enough for the Premier League but the real problem at Loftus Road is the lack of a long-term plan. I played for QPR from January 2013 until the end of last season and stayed on all summer doing my rehab after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in April of last year. Full story http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32685052?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Hard to disagree with most of that!
He's only saying what many of us on here have been saying all season and it would suggest the battle between Harry and TF started more or less the moment we were promoted. In that case Harry should have been replaced rather than allowed to f*ck our season up...
This is where I blame TF, the choice should have been either back or sack but he ended up doing **** all. If I was one of the other investors I would seriously question his ability to keep running the club & would be far happier to have Amit doing the job.
Good observations except for the ridiculous implication that he himself played his heart out for the club.
Do you know how a company board is run? These are collective decisions, TF is just a figurehead. Amit is just as much to blame. TF owns just over 20% of the shares, he can't make decisions on his own. I reckon he'll stand down as chairman at the end of the season though.
Why? Does anyone know any real details about Amit Bhatia's track record in business which provide solid support for the argument that he'd be any better? Or is he just another "nice bloke"? Genuine question.
Jenas and others are still talking about QPR 2013 - the revamp started two years ago. All the mercenaries and bad eggs pre-date then. Harry didnt buy long term (which jenas doesn't criticise him for), but I dont think Henry, Yun and O'Neill were brought in on high contracts. I will concede he was probably tasked with getting back up at all costs last season - rather than building for the future, but its not mutualy exclusive. As for this campaign - they should be concentrating on Harry's failures to plan this season; the abortive 3-5-2; duff (rather than expensive) players like Sandro, Mutch, Zarate; the selling of simpson; only preferring players "he knows" to the detriment of getting shight. Plenty to go on there.
"The club's recent transfer policy has been to pluck players from here, there and everywhere. When you do that, you are probably buying on the basis of talent rather than the mentality and personality of a player, and you are asking for trouble." please log in to view this image
Feel free to read up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amit_Bhatia whether he'd be any better or not we don't know but what we do know is that TF has tried but so far failed big time & the club is in a perilous state far worse than when he joined.
I'd read the wiki before. It was precisely because I couldn't see (there or anywhere else) anything suggesting he'd be good at running a football club that I thought I'd ask.
Can't argue with much of his analysis but it's a bit rich coming from someone who hardly earned his corn whilst at the club. Rearrange these words into a well known phrase or saying: kettle... pot... black.
