Current shareholders are Ruben, Amit and Reilly. It was reported that Fernandes has a buy-back option if we were to reach the PL.
If the owners hadn't been fantasising about building 10s of thousands of flats at Old Oak they could have bought one of three excellent plots at White City and built a stadium there and redeveloped Loftus Rd. Then our P&S outlook would be completely different.
As it is, their incompetence has doomed the club to a lingering death at Loftus Rd. |

Amit walked through the doors in 2007 (18 years ago), and Ruben joined him in 2011 (14 years).
We're constrained by the P&S rules because of the decisions those men have made over that (approximate) 15 year period. |

Every single problem we face is directly attributable to the decisions these owners have made in the 15 years they've been here. Every single one. |

Reading some of these scores and I find myself wondering how we've been in the bottom 3rd of the league virtually all season. |

Not really. When you watch him in that role, he doesn't do any of the things needed from a player in that solo role to bring other players into the game.
It requires a very particular skillset - think Heidar Helguson. You're up against 2 CBs, and you need to not only win the ball against them, but hold onto it long enough for deeper players to get up and support you. That needs physicality, yes, but also touch, craft and guile. Knowing what defenders like to do and not do, what your team mates like and don't like. How to position yourself for contact, how to hold players off, how to win free kicks. And then you also need to chip in with some goals yourself.
I like Kolli, he's obviously got talent, but it's a very very difficult role - as evidenced by how expensive those players are and that I've had to go back 15 years to find a player we had capable of doing it.

The more I watch Kolli play, the more convinced I am he needs to play as part of a front two. He hasn't got the physicality or skillset to play on his own, nor when part of a 3 behind a centre forward. He'll score goals at this level, but he needs to play alongside a big, athletic partner. From the very, very little I've seen of Kelman, my hunch is that he will be the same in the championship.
That means we need to alter our approach, but how you get two up front without being outmanned or too rigid in midfield is the conundrum. You certainly need players with legs even to consider it - and that's not something we're blessed with. |

Some of you are going way over the top here. He's been getting 3/4 out of 10 (some even lower than that!) for most of the season and now he's put in a couple of 6s he's apparently turned the corner. |

The map linked to just shows the general White City area that H&F have been looking to regenerate for a few years now. Loftus Rd is obviously part of that.
This specific development, as stated earlier, is on disused council buildings and community centres north of the stadium. Roughly bounded by Mackay House, Commonwealth Ave, Canada Way and India Way. [Post edited 16 Apr 16:17]

It's the area north of Mackay House, where the community centre and Randolph Beresford Centre sit along with some disused council buildings. Not really connected to QPR but very close by. |

Re-signing Colback doesn't improve our team, at the absolute most it maintains us as a 16th-ranked side. Unless we want a repeat of this season our limited budget means that has to be the question asked of every signing. |

A nice, safe, comfortable end of season game with the pressure off after a win at mighty Oxford - which suits this club and far too many of the players. As soon as the games have meaning to them though, they all go missing - which is why it's annoying me seeing people on this forum and social media acting as if we've turned a corner. There's some absolute dross at this club - bottlers and time-wasters and nearly men - and they need to be shot out of a cannon at the first opportunity.
This team needs legs, it needs muscle and above all it needs guts. Otherwise, next year is just a repeat of this one.
Edit: that wasn't aimed at you btw Norf, in case it came across that way [Post edited 14 Apr 16:16]

I've watched Sutton a couple of times for the DS and he is a long way off still. Physically, he looks like a child, and tactically he spends a lot of time waiting for the ball to come to him rather than engaging in the game. He's only on the bench because we've got a dozen players out injured. Talented though. Needs a L2 loan. [Post edited 14 Apr 10:19]

Too old ad too expensive. Renew his contract and you're admitting you're sole aim is to eek out enough wins to finish outside the relegation zone. Every single penny we spend has to be well spent, and that means guys who can play (and contribute) every week. |

Any footballer his age who tries to flick the ball to a marked teammate with his instep in a tight situation in the edge of our box has no business playing at this level. He's a five-a-side player not a real footballer and needs to be fired out of a cannon. |

Perhaps the lowest point of my QPR-supporting life was seeing Vinnie Jones wearing our kit. Always hated that man. |

If you genuinely sat down at that time and thought "we are 7 signings away from winning anything, so what we should do is sell our best players" then you must have been the only football fan in history.
Also, you were 2 decades ahead of your time - it's only the past 10 years we've seen the emergence the fan who prefers the 'football-business' over the 'football-winning'. Congrats on that. |

Some of the posts about the 90s read like someone has spent their time looking back at stats from the time (both QPR and league-wide) and constructed an argument around them, rather than actually being there at the time. |

I've seen a lot of people asking about Sutton, especially on social media. I've seen him play for the DS and, honestly, he's a long way off being ready for the first team. Talented, yes, but nowhere near ready for the Championship. Purely there to fill a bench spot today, just like Murphy and Petrie last week. |

The Wilf Slack Cricket Centre opened at a school in Greenford a couple of years ago. Lovely indoor facility for use by schools, clubs and some Middlesex development teams. |
