Fernandes says we should manage expectations on 07:07 - Nov 9 with 5345 views | PunteR | Unbelievable. How about him apologizing for trying to raise expectations over the last 4 years and not delivering. He does realise we're back in the championship with Warnock. But with added £200,000,000 debt on top. Yep, he's transparent now. The blokes an idiot, clearly. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

Fernandes says we should manage expectations on 07:12 - Nov 9 with 5325 views | Blue_Castello | There's another stick for the anti Fernandes brigade to beat him with..... It has to be said if he truly believes that then his previous Twitter post which appeared to raise expectations looks pretty stupid. Twitter really is a sack of sheet, however hard people try they end up saying stuff they regret or get the context totally wrong. Hes not wrong though fans expectations need to be reduced big time, we may have a number of big names to put on a Team sheet but we don't have a team yet , Preston gave us that lesson on Saturday. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

His sudden raising of expectations with his training ground tweet played a huge part in Ramsey's demise and in a huge part in stoking discontent among fans. His hypocrisy on this issue is striking. | ![](/images/avatars/1570.gif) |

Fernandes says we should manage expectations on 07:35 - Nov 9 with 5201 views | Lblock | Transparent's the word.... saw right through him years ago. Such a shame as he could've been a legend. Could still pull it back IF the training ground gets started and finished and he takes a step back from "the limelight" leaving the running of the club to people who know what they are doing. Cant see either happening myself | ![](/images/avatars/4057.gif) |

100% agree - if true that would mean the owners have written off around 250m GBP - which is incredible - Tony and the other owners have made big mistakes - but they have had a go and if prepared to take the financial hit fair play to them (which is better than our previous recent owners - like Chris Wrong and Tango & Cash) I agree we are currently in a mess - hopefully someone who can manage the football club like a business will make it work Firstly we need to budget within our means [Post edited 9 Nov 2015 7:39]

Explain. From what I've seen posted on twitter they've converted the loans into equity | ![](/images/avatars/1533.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

But as I understand it that means they have diluted the value of the existing shares, so the current owners (Fernandes, Amit, Gnaglamsmimgfdipgsdg & Co) now somehow own less of the club?! Or their share values decrease. I think... | ![](/images/avatars/3461.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Written off £180 mill?. Who does that in the real world? That debt will come back to bite us somewhere down the line. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

When you think about it, how on earth could they get that kind of money back from the club? To rewrite a saying, 'when the club owes a small amount it's the clubs problem, when the club owes a huge amount it's the owners problem'. The owners appreciate they've run up that bill, paid it off, and therefore not the clubs problem. [Post edited 9 Nov 2015 9:00]

I think they are following advice to make the thing sale-able. No buyer would touch it with debt levels that high so they have turned it into shares. i actually think Ramsey went to try and improve the atmosphere at HQ for potential suitors. No point in looking long term if you are trying to off the thing in a couple of months. If they could get the 180m back they no doubt would but it is a non starter. Don't really expect the Mittal family to step up either- Steel in a deep hole at the moment and they are much more prudent than Tony and chums. | ![](/images/avatars/1558.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Whatever it's worth is what it's worth - the debt isn't really a factor other than the fact that it's not recoverable as there's virtually no unencumbered assets. They could be selling up or this could be something to do with FFP or both. However, sooner or later it must dawn on TF that he's not much good and he needs to give up. Whichever way that you look at it, writing off the debt is a fantastic step in the right direction for QPR. All those who were bleating on about how WE couldn't pay back this debt - well now we don't have to ATAF. [Post edited 9 Nov 2015 9:34]

Wasn't Ferdinand's reasoning for sacking Ramsay that as we kept a number of players expectations were higher than just mid-table consolidation? #mixedmessages | ![](/images/avatars/1828.gif) |

Dont think anyones questioning his ability to make money.Like all business, tides ebb and flow.It's his spending that is alarming. I'm no business mastermind but I wouldn't allocate Hughes and Redknap 10 pence let alone £200 Mil. Like others, I was delighted when TF took over from Tango and Cash, now look at us.
