Thankyou - I couldn't find it anywhere, or I thought I did but it was miles out of date.
We are interestingly placed - promotion not out of the question. Get behind the ladies - at least they've won at Loftus Road this season. |

I know we're not allowed to know anything, but it would be nice to know what the plan and ambition is for the women's side. Are we genuinely aiming for the Championship? In how many years?
We must have an eye on Chloe Kelly surely. If we can get to the Championship inside 3 years, Chloe will be 30 and she is already out of favour at Man City. Offer her a large, long-term contract then build the interest around her, especially as she is a bit of a celebrity anyway. I see her as a one-off opportunity to get the women's side motoring. |

Yes. We all know the difference between the feelings on here and the general feelings of the crowd, especially at home games.
I've worked myself into a fury in the past at people like Laird and Roberts and been given quizzical looks. I've had a go at Armstrong for over celebrating and they think you are insane.
If it was down to me, I would want mobilisation against Nourry. But no way in the world will it happen. I also think the home fan base is somewhat disparate these days. You have the 'yoof' who are more interested in goading opposition fans and filming themelves than watching the football; the cokeheads who just want to laugh manically, fight with anyone and leave at random points, the can't-get-in-to-Chelsea/Brentford/Fulham lot who are either just there with their mates in pity or find it all a bit quaint....
Then there's us, howling at the moon. Perhaps the best bet would be from the brilliant QPR flag guys, they have that excellent Marti flag don't they? But who says they agree anyway? |

I can't stand Nourry and wish him gone, but one thing he most definitely has got right is to raise the profile of the women's team and envelop them properly into the club. It's a no brainer to try and get them at least into the Championship, especially with the raised media profile of the WSL. |

Agreed, having been his harshest critic of both his goalkeeping and his Chelsea podcasting, nice and accurate words about QPR as a club. Fair dos. Still useless though :-) |

Oh yes, distinctly remember quite a few leaving at HT. I was there with my older sister and she wanted to leave at HT - for some reason (being young!) I persuaded her to stay at least until the next goal...... |

Well, quite. No grumblings in the away end against manager / players / Director of Recruitment / CEO? |

Just gone to look on Betfair what our odds are to be relegated. It's still odds against (just)! Fill yer boots if you think we are definitely down.... |

I totally understand that argument.
I do think, though, that if I was that rich and (hopefully) a good businessman / woman, I wouldn't just anticipate the £1m+ a month a loss as an inevitable fait accompli for many years forward. I would be plotting a way where that is massively reduced and even turned around. And not just basing everything on getting to the Premier League. You know, sustainability.
We're not that unattractive are we? An extremely loyal fan base, a stadium and training ground in West London and currently residing in the 5th largest league in the world or whatever it is.
I'd like owners who aren't just obsessed with the PL but instead have a long-term sustainable plan to keep this community club healthy and strong for many years. Or just have a plan. Any plan. |

Obviously you are right but where's the next guy with £100m+ willing to throw away?
Maybe we could get a Del Boy consortium together like when they bought Arnie's 250 gold chains.
In all seriousness though, the wealthy / sports mad Americans do buy on potential and for all the money we lose we must be a better proposition than most. Sold out home and away games when having to watch the pony we've had over the last god knows how long. We may not have a limitless potential when it comes to crowds but we all know that our potential will always be bigger than Brentford and Fulham. And look at them. Can't some benevolent mega rich person see that? |

Bang on. For all our current malaise we had all this last season. "Definitely down", "If we lose this it's all over" -
There's 31 games to go - 94 points to play for. Forest got promoted from a similar position once.
I know right now it looks like we will never score a goal again, never mind win a game again, it would only need 3 wins out of 4 and we'd be comfortably out of the relegation zone. "only" - I did hear myself say that, but the point is the same.
We don't need snookers. |

You're right, but symptoms needs to be tackled too.
It's such a weird one with the owners. Protesting against owners is obviously a fine balance, especially in our situation, but is usually provoked - like Reading - if they are evil people (ours don't seem to be), just want to deliberately kill the club (doesn't seem like it), are egotistical maniacs (we don't see them enough) - so we have a combination that makes it difficult to raise collective anger.
There is of course the other point that the presumption some other wealthy person will just be chomping at the bit to take over and replace them is a bit far-fetched and it is better the devil you know.
It's their decision making I want to protest against, not the people themselves. Not sure how that works. |

I don't see why protest against Nourry should particularly annoy the owners. The fact is the owners are next on the list, I suspect, so might concentrate their minds.
Whilst I personally wholeheartedly agree with the OP, isn't the real problem shown by this board in that not every QPR fan agrees? Personally, every QPR fan I know and fans I have spoken to at games believe in Marti and are happy to support him, yet people on here do not and even start threads about wanting him out.
I couldn't disagree more with that and I think Nourry is dangerous to us.
I suspect protest will only happen if / when he sacks Marti, gets an abysmal replacement and we get stuffed at home next game.
However, having been a long time supporter of the owners, I can now see that stance is ridiculous. Yes they keep us going but the decision making is unbelievably, consistently bad. They need to find a way to fix it. |

Seriously, if you think Cook can't be arsed then I've been watching a different Cook all season. He got a massive whack on Tuesday and played on, as ever. If anyone deserves some slack it's him. [Post edited 9 Nov 16:00]

Begovic "back in the premier league"
That's like saying Scott Carson is a multiple Premier League winner.
How does being 3rd / 4th choice keeper prove those who thought he was rubbish, wrong? |

He would have joined at 13.
I am ashamed to admit that I had the misery of going there (I know, I know) but he was the small matter of 23 years below me, so can't be sure really :-) |

He's listed in the Old Pauline magazine as having been there 2010 - 2015, so he was 18 in 2015 and therefore barely 27. |

Brilliant Clive. My feelings against Nourry grow ever stronger. Are your expectations that you will be writing the "big piece" a gut feel, or is there more to it, if you don't mind me asking?
If the longer piece does happen, Nourry is going to be in for one hell of a rough ride. From matchgoing fans, I've heard nothing but support for the manager. |
