Is there a definitive biography on JG?
I've read snippets here and there about his time as QPR chairman from Rodney, Stan, The wintons podcast appearance, Peter Hucker.
Did Ron Phillips ever write up anything?
Would love to find out more, anyone have any stories? |  |

A late uncle of mine (born Grenfell Road) went to school with Jim. Not likely to be part of any biography, though! |  | | |

I believe that the reason both QPR and Spurs played in their away kits in the '82 Cup Final was that Jim refused to toss a coin to see who got to wear their home shirts. |  | | |

Someone came or a meeting with him in his office and enquired whether a certain player was for sale
He replied "Everything here is for sale, even this desk if you want to make me an offer "
Allegedly |  |
| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |

If you can get a copy, the book 'A History of Queens Park Rangers" by Dennis Signey and published in 1968 has a chapter on Jim Gregory. There's also another chapter on what actually happened in the Brentford "take over", as opposed to what most Brentford fans seem to think happened. Gregory of course played a key role in that episode. |  | | |

I have a copy of that book in the loft. Must get up there and read it again 55 years after I first got it. | | | |

That's an eye-opener. I wasn't aware that the club's financial mis-management went that far back, and that we were that close to going into admin while still in the Premiership. | | | |

That was the core idea of the Trotters - everything would be for sale if you made a good enough offer.
Sullivan confirmed this in one of those talking heads programmes he did on the show |  | | |

I believe that's true. Before joining QPR's board of directors prior to becoming chairman he apparently tried to join Fulham's but Tommy Trinder & Co weren't having any of it. |  |
