The Official Will QPR sink or swim thread

[readingbedding]

Being envious of QPR FC or any FC is just as phucking ridiculous and bizarre.

[Jerry St Clair]

This absolutely sickens me.

Not me.

They're selling their soul to the devil. What pleasure is there is buying your way to the title?

[Wycombe Royal]

Parejo didn't have a great record in the Spanish 3rd tier last season and scored 11 goals in 37 matches. From what i know of SPanish football the 3rd tier over there is worse than our 3rd tier.

He may be highly rated but he is young and so might not have a good impact over here. Only time will tell.

Not bothered bout that, just worried that I'm gonna have to fork out to my mate if they beat us a couple of times and finish above us.

QPR manager Iain Dowie is on the verge of being sacked after a row with owner Flavio Briatore over the proposed transfer of an unnamed player from the Middle East. (The Times)

[Tredder]

Flavio has been using his weight in the european market while Dowie gets Gorkks and Cook, only one winner, but i'm not overly concerned should Dowie walk.

I wouldnt be either.

Any side managed by Iain Dowie = Certain Fail

This'll be the Iain Dowie who took Palace from 22nd at Christmas to the Premiership in the 2003/4 season?

[Mr Angry]

The latest chapter in the QPR soap opera is the one I would be most worried about if I was a fan of theirs; as has been said, when the board start to dictate to a Manger what players they want to bring in, it will end in tears (Exhibit A - Shevchenko M'Lud).

Clearly Rangers will need to move to a larger stadium if they want to fulfil their bosses' ambitions - I just hope for their fans this doesn't become a situation where the ground gets sold (for vast money, surprise, surprise) before a new ground has been sorted out (like both BHA and Wimbledon in the last 20 years).

The other issue is one of timescale - how long will the failure of not getting into the Prem - or even getting into the Prem but not being "bigger than Chelsea in 5 Years" (a direct quote from one of the board members last season) - be tolerated before these guys get bored with their new plaything and then go off to look for a new hobby? Because not even the most ardent Rangers fan can claim they are doing this for their love of the club!

LOL @ all the envy and bitterness towards QPR.

I'm envious yes, bitter no.

Good luck to them!

So you're LOLing at the envy while being envious?

Surely a Daggers comment would suffice, but i'm not that anal.

[Streets]

Ooops.

Tredder's a bit quiet.
