Such a sad state of affairs. TF has to realise he had done an unbelievably bad job since he took over.
It still looks like it could get a lot worse before it gets better. |  |

So management forgave 60 million in debts in order to avoid a 50 million fine. Why not just pay the fine and save 10 million?
(not that I am complaining, mind) |  |

They were never getting that £60m back, so paying the fine is an extra £50m lost. |  | | |

I'm sure I read last week that Briatore had been interviewed somewhere and claimed he didn't like being involved in football because it was a full-time job where you had to be around to manage it all the time.
Take note Tony... |  |

Just to clear up one point in that article - the Mittals do not own 30% anymore. 11% as it stands and more likely to sell up completely with no interest in 'buying out TF'. Also worth noting that Ruben is the biggest shareholder now, not TF and it is is Ruben who pulled the chequebook in January over-ruling TF. | | | |

I don't blame Ruben for that though!
No single new player was going to turn us around and allowing Harry to blow another £15m or so to get another 3 or 4 can't have been an appealing option. | | | |

Someone said this before, it may have been flameboy, but I've yet to see anything to back it up. The official website still has Mittal at 33%. | |

The article draws a parallel between Fernandes and Briatore, but I think a better parallel is between Fernandes and Chris Wright. Fernandes and Wright had a lot of room for manoeuvre as they followed hated regimes (Thompson in the case Chris Wright) and presented themselves as fans. Both were fixated on big clubs and hoped for a bit of reflected glory by acquiring players or managers from such clubs, and both seemed unable to actually evaluate the quality of what they were buying. |  |

"We now know that QPR’s that season was £71.96m, just £1.3m less than their previous season in the Premier League."
And let that be the last of *anyone* saying how well Arry did to 'offload' players. We were still paying them handsomely, clearly. Would you like Esteban? We'll pay nearly all his wages! Yeah, spose so. |  |
