We were probably got going to offer thousands and thousands a week to a 33 year who hasn't played a game in over a year You'd think you'd invest a little more wisely, especially considering its do or die. Promotion or Portsmouth.
I was at the Swindon game, it was a terrible/uninterested performance by the reserves, but that was months ago! We underestimated Donnie, and hopefully the lessons have been learned. What're your excuses for the Wednesday/Brighton games? In all likelihood Tom Carroll (21) and Kranjcar (29) will start in a midfield 3 alongside Barton Vs Leicester, with Phillipps (22) and Hoillet (23) either side. Lloyd Dyer's hardly a spring chicken is he?
He's only on a 6month contract, which is pennies compared to the promotion cash. We're doing alright financially though, placed a 21mill bid on a plot of land for a new stadium last week: http://www.shdlogistics.com/news/view/qpr-lodges-john-lewis-shed-bid
FFP will fall apart, nothing's going to happen. They can't retrospectively penalise clubs for their spending, it's only going to come into place functionally during the 14/15 season. Even then, there'll be loads of legal appeals and stuff, it won't work. QPR could easily get round it by having Tony Fernandes use his own company Air Asia to 'sponsor' the club 50mill or whatever, thereby balancing the books, and equalising the incoming with the outgoings. That daily mail article a few weeks ago was complete rubbish, based on tenuous figures plucked out of thin air.
We are playing at the King Power stadium, the ground is owned by King Power, we are sponsored by King Power, yet we aren't overspending, and no doubt we could if we wanted to. I don't like FFP as it came in once we had money to spend with the new owners, but we have held back alot imo over the summer, they aren't likely to let clubs get around it. As for the game, is it a 12:15 KO for telly? cant remember.
QPR's problem is they have too many Benayoun's already Older journeymen looking for a pay day. Players who had potential but never realised it. How much of QPR's team actually give a ****?
So a team that's proved bloody hard to score against let alone beat, has players in it that don't give a ****? Beginning to wonder about you! LOL etc...
Iv'e got an a aggressive dwarf who lives a few doors down....he talks big, but its because he's insecure....I can hold him off with one hand, but I try not to get involved with him, the fact is, I pity the poor lad...he is deluded, he thinks he is a "big man", shame... ....he reminds me so much of QPR....,
Hi Grifter, Good idea, would be nice to generate some more cross-board activity. It's a bit lonely over here these days, now that Hull Tigers have left us for pastures new. My dad is a QPR fan, grew up just round the corner from Loftus Road and has supported the club all his life. So obviously I always have a bit of a soft spot for you, and look out for your results. I think you'll probably beat us to be honest. I'm going to take a crazy punt on it finishing 1-0 You've made some good signings in the summer, and have the best squad in the league by a mile. But you do get what you pay for I suppose... No idea how FFP will affect you, but I think you'll win the league this year. Then you shouldn't have to worry about FFP, unless your repeat the same mistakes as last time!
We've got a good squad, but we have had players on the books that couldn't give a **** and just take a **** load of wages per week, though we aren't paying them as much as you are Imo, you have got alot of big names on the bench or lower that could easily play every week at other championship clubs eating away at Tonys pockets.
Of course we would take a draw. But with our recent form and our cusion over the chasing pack cut I would want all 3 QPR would take a draw aswell if the game was at the KP but as the home team they will be looking to win
Leicester are one of the only other active championship boards, so thought I'd wind them up a bit and get some chat going I think they'll come unstuck. It'll be nice to see them get a good pasting Vs City on Tuesday too!
