We're talking about a training ground here chaps, i'm sure it'll sort its self out. I mean how much does it need to do a bit of jogging on the spot and running round some cones.
but no, seriously, these modern day footballers need much more than that, lovely little massages, state of the art gym, swimming pool the lot.....oh, and the weekly colonic irrigation.
still if nothings sorted after the lock down, we can go back to basic training...… the springbok and William hill, like bowlsey used to.
By all means be angry about yet another disappointment for the club and more broken promises — goodness knows, I am — but please don’t misrepresent the facts.
You wrote: "The judicial review you speak of was only granted in April 2020 because QPR's failure to act in over 1 year allowed Warren Farm to transform itself into a nature reserve".
You are implying that QPR's inaction and Mother Nature in some way gave rise to the judicial review, whereas in reality, the protesters created a successful campaign based on the council's failure to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment.
Looked at another way, you could sum up the situation by saying that failure to act on the part of the council, not QPR, is behind this.
The net effect is still yet another set-back for us as a club, though, and Hoos and the board are under pressure to quickly turn this crushing blow into something which, finally, moves the club's infrastructure forward.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I don't know what is going on but, whatever it is, I disagree with it wholeheartedly. Unless it's a good thing, in which case that is what I have been saying all along.

Democracy is bollocks. The best mode of running both football clubs and a country is a benevolent, wise ruler over all. Unpalatable, but true. Tht's why this forum works so well. Clive is our benevolent dictator.
Bare bones.

That's the most sensible post you've done this year.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime. (Mark Twain)

I stand corrected of course - he's been in post since 2015 - but (a) is part of the club's management team and (b) has gone on record as saying that, if he does nothing else, the new training ground and stadium are imperative for him. He obfuscates, propagandises, deals (in my view) in skewed ways with the politics and economics of staying at/leaving Loftus Road, and has failed to deliver. Also, there isn't a clear dichotomy between him, Les, Warbs and the owners - they're all on the same sheet in the end - and his hands aren't necessarily any more tied than anyone else's in terms of setting the club's economic agenda and business strategy. In fact, he seems to be astonishingly hands-on across the board, and has also been involved in, judging by his statements, the pre-Warbs charade of hiring, lionsing and sacking managers. For some fans, however, it seems any amount of his inefficiency and untrustworthiness is tolerable.
At the same time, the recent news, if accurate, is a fiasco that taints everyone involved in it and, as usual, it's the fans who are left feeling like mugs.
I'd expect you'd be right about them not being able to steer the direction of the club but, being in board meetings so they know the truth and having the access to raise issues would be valuable.
In the current situation if there was a fan on the board he could come out and categorically state that we are in discussions for a freehold and say it's much better than WF. Or he could come out and say that they're lying and they're not talking to anyone about a freehold and it's all BS.
So they wouldn't be able to make decisions but it should keep the owners honest.

He is the Chief Executive!
You'd expect him to be involved in the full running of the club and have responsibility for it. But for a football matter, as opposed to a purely business or finance matter, it would be understood that he must use the specific resources that he has to reach a recommendation on key appointments to the board. The board, of course, has the final say on all matters, including his own position.
