AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 QPR aren't idiots. Idiots are those who haven't seen the tv money from next year onwards. There is massive inflation in the market. We will make a healthy profit next year because the tv money will be huge. That is what is at stake. The shittest players will be on 30k/pw in no time because the moolah is flowing into the league. It would be folly for QPR not to try their hardest to stay in the league then regroup in the summer. Let's say his release clause is 5m. They're basically risking 3.3m plus his wages for the next five months. And the possible returns? Well, premiership money compared to championship money, which by next year will be close to 60m. An idiot would be someone unwilling to risk a few million. If we're confident we can stay up when our team is fully fit then that's one thing, if we're not confident then not signing Remy would be the most classic example of being penny wise, pound foolish. The money from next year onwards is too important to try to save a million here or there. Obviously it makes financial sense, if they stay up.

TheGuv Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Good old Arry, has a rant about inheriting a team of overpaid foreigners one week, then a month later offers this lad £80,000 a week! Makes lots of sense, Remy is in a win-win situation whether they stay up or go down, he's hardly going to break his neck ensuring their safety! I'll be so glad if they go down, and he walks away for 2 or 3 million http://yfrog.com/scaled/landing/875/16810497.jpg Bedknobs and Broomsticks? Why?

Taylor Swift Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 For those saying Fernandes is an idiot, bear in mind that the guy's been in charge for a year and he's learning very quick. He knows it's not sustainable to pay Park 50k/pw but it's more important to stay in the league than worry about change like a few hundred thousand, or a million or two. One of the first things the guy did when he came was talk about increasing revenue and expanding their stadium. He knows what has to be done, now he just has to do it. Harry is a good manager and if they're able to sign a couple of players, they'll survive. Then they'll start clearing out the deadwood in the summer and that's when they can control their wages and spend more responsibly. But firstly they have to survive. Fernandes is a smart businessman. PS. You don't judge a smart businessman by whether he makes mistakes but by how fast he learns and whether he makes the same mistakes. The guy is learning quick. He dumped Hughes quick, got in a good manager and he's not repeating the same mistakes by signing old players for big money. Remy and M'Vila are players in their primes with many years to go, not hasbeens like Park and Bosingwa. Fernandes got fucked by Hughes but that's going to be the last time he's getting screwed by a simpleton manager who has no financial sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Am I the only one that thinks that this isn't quite done and dusted yet? Going off the last 16 hours worth of meltdown, I think you might just be Hahah I was part of the meltdown as well, but something just isnt sitting right with me. I don't know what it is, it just all seems very odd. and very convenient last minute interest. And why no confirmation yet? I don't know I have a feeling we might still get him There'll be some doubts in his mind about going somewhere like QPR, but I'm pretty sure the money on offer will overcome them.

Yeah, the new guy has a great track record in this area. He's been screwed over by Hughes alone. He spent last Jan and they survived, right after he joined. He spent in the summer and that was when he got fucked. He won't make the same mistake again. Ironically, if they survive, they'll probably implement a model similar to us and Spurs, except they'll be much more aggressive than us. And if they're able to build a new stadium then they won't be going anywhere for a long, long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You can all hide in a dark cupboard and spew nonsense but QPR are doing everything in their power to stay up...Are we? How do you know we're not? Do you really think they're all sat back in their plush chairs going "meh, whatever"? If QPR paid him more per week, then fair do's to them. Like it or not, our club and its owner do business in a certain way, and he's well within his right seeing as he owns the damn thing. The Remy thing wasn't a charade (nowhere near the Ruiz debacle). He just chose someone else over us. We'll have other targets lined up. Next season's money is too good for fatty to f*** this one up. This fact is the only thing keeping me sane at the moment.

ujpest doza Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think McKay has used us to flush out QPR and make them increase their offer. He never actually made it to Tyneside anyway, only flew to That London and i don't think he ever intended coming here either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to find that "Arry" has bought Remy solely to ensure we remain close to the relegation zone, which then gives QPR a reasonable chance to escape relegation. After all the more teams stuck at the bottom, the better chance they have of climbing above us/Wigan/Reading/Villa etc. Call me paranoid if you will..... :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ebolarama Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm annoying we haven't landed him, but I can't really direct any hatred at QPR or 'Arry. That's football. We got gazumped.

Fenham Mag Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just had a look at QPR's major honours list : League Cup 67-68 I know we aren't in the position to laugh at anybody about major honours but that is canny hilarious.

Skeletor Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Keegan said it all. Ashley's biggest problem is that he knows nothing about football and surrounds himself with people who also know nothing about football. They're all business men not football fans.
