    In QPR's terms.

    £46m - the reported amount, not including undisclosed fees, spent on players since 1 July, 2012
    £24.5m - the amount Mark Hughes is reported to have spent, not including undisclosed fees, on transfers since 1 July, 2012
    £21.5m - the amount Harry Redknapp is reported to have spent, not including undisclosed fees, on transfers in the 2013 January window

    11 - the number of signings made from 1 July 2012 by Mark Hughes: Ryan Nelsen (Tottenham), free; Andy Johnson (Fulham), free; Robert Green (West Ham), free; Samba Diakité (Nancy), £4m*; Park Ji-Sung (Man United), £2.5m; Junior Hoilett (Blackburn), £4m; José Bosingwa (Chelsea) free; Júlio César (Inter Milan), undisclosed; Esteban Granero (Real Madrid), £9m*; Sam Magri (Portsmouth), free; Stéphane Mbia (Marseille), £5m*; * reported fee
    5 - the number of signings made by Harry Redknapp: Tal Ben Haim (unattached), free; Loïc Rémy (Marseille), £8m*; Yun Suk-Young (Chunnam Dragons), £1m*; Christopher Samba (Anzhi Makhachkala), £12.5m; Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham), undisclosed. * reported fee
    1 - the number of clean sheets the team has kept with Christopher Samba playing since signing the defender from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala for £12.5m at the end of January.
    5 - the number of clean sheets this season before Christopher Samba signed.
    19% - Harry Redknapp has the lowest win percentage of any QPR manager in the Premier League. Neil Warnock 20%, Mark Hughes 20%, Gerry Francis 37%, Ray Wilkins 39%.

    19 - Adel Taarabt has equalled the record for most substituted QPR player in the Premier League. He has been substituted 19 times. Kevin Gallen (1994-1996) is also on 19.
    Only two sides in Premier League history have won fewer games by this stage of the season than QPR in 2012-13 - Derby (one) in 2007-08 and Sunderland (two) in 2005-06

    Hopefully with the Allams we won't end up like this if we go up. Long summer ahead for QPR and the fans before the next Championship season, the transfer window looks interesting i imagine a fair few players will be going on the cheap.

    From that list alone (there are presumably another 5-10 players from the season before) there are not many that are going to be easy to shift

    Nelson has gone
    Johnson is injured and probably no longer considered a Premier League player and i guess on Prem League wages
    Green / Cesar - Cesar looks a great keeper and likely to find another club quite easily
    Diakite - don't know a lot of him - played ok in one game I saw
    Hoilett - striker / midfielder / winger - never rated him, but managers look at his pace - will be an easy sale, not sure they will get the £4m back
    Park - went for a final payday - presumably on a 3 year deal - no one will want him
    Bosingwa - not a chance anyone will touch him with his rumoured £80k wages. They are stuck with him until his contract expires. Rumoured to have been laughing down the tunnel today after relegation
    Granero - came with a bit of hype - I bet he regrets moving over now. Won't get anywhere near the £9m they paid but should be easy to move on
    M'bia - looks a decent player - bottom end Prem club will look at him - maybe WHam if they lose Diame
    Ben Haim - why is he there? Hopefully no club touches him with a bargepole
    Remy - stock has risen since moving. Another in quick but little skill bracket. Rumoured to be Liverpool bound according to the BBC gossip page earlier in the week
    Samba - oddly they could have shifted him back to Russia on deadline day. Huge wage, but someone will buy him but not for the £12m they would want
    Jenas - actually done ok since moving - think he will be in the team next season

    End of 2011/12 he got a Champions League medal.
    End of 2012/13 he got relegated to the Championship.

    If I was him, I think I'd be laughing too.
