John O'Rourke, there's a name from the past. He was a prolific goalscorer in the 60s but his best days were past it when we got him...
Ex QPR striker Jamie Cureton aged 50 has become the fist ever player to have scored in all 10 tiers of the English football pyramid for these teams: Tier 1 (Prem): Norwich City Tier 2 (Champ): Norwich, Colchester Tier 3 (L1): Bristol Rovers, Reading, QPR, Swindon, Colchester, Norwich, Barnsley, Exeter, Leyton Orient Tier 4 (L2): Bristol Rovers, Exeter, Cheltenham, Dagenham & Redbridge Tier 5 (Nat Lg): Eastleigh Tier 6 (Nat Lg S): St Albans City Tier 7 (S Lg Prem): Farnborough, Bishop's Stortford Tier 8 (S Lg D1 C): Farnborough T Tier 9 (Isthmian Prem): Bishop's Stortford Tier 10 (E Counties D1 N): Kings Park Rangers (Oct 2025)
Sinton was lucky he didn't break his leg. I bet it smarted for a while. Disgusting challenge effectively amounted to assault. If I ever meet him again I will ask him about it.
27 year old left back Jamal Lewis is training with QPR after being released by Newcastle in the summer.
27 but only 160 or so appearances. That is sad given his ability - thought he was great at Norwich as a kid.
He's another one of those that keeps getting injuries. So he's ideal for us. Get him signed up ... Welcome Jamal!
Report that John Textor may be interested in buying us, he's made bids for other clubs including Wolves but now appears to be interested in Championship clubs as the cheaper option. Would still be stymied by FFP so hard to see the logic...
Textor got £190m for his stake in Palace, more than enough to cover our £150m share capital ( which is inflated anyway). But with his other clubs it will cause issues when we are back in European competition …..
I see Lakshmi Mittal has been outed by the FT for buying Russian oil for his part-owned refinery in India. Didn’t know he had announced he was leaving UK either.
