Ok so Les is no more.
Finally the great man has left the building.
But clearly a DoF is an essential cog in the wheel of the modern day football club.
Or so we have been led to believe by Lee Hoos and the Board Management team.
And its the modern day phenomenon that all clubs factor into their hierarchy and we seemed to be prominent in that thinking also.
Yet rumours as to new DoF or even any kind of replacement - its been radio silence !!!!
Its obviously a large expense and this year we have to cut our cloth.
But it seems strange that its almost not seen as causing any particular new issues not having one from the outside looking in.
Transfers have still been made - and a theme has been seen ie several experienced pros with high level careers behind them and free transfers to boot, mixed in with couple journeyman and a potential young prospect.
From what Ainsworth has said about requiring experience, am assuming most of what we brought in, has been Ainsworths options.
The contract side of it was also assuming this was discussed with D o F but not sure who does this now - potentially Lee Hoos - I would have thought.
Perhaps our own experimantation with the D o F model proved unsuccessful or maybe we will bring one in next season when we will have more available spendning to be made without breaching FFP.
Appreciate it is all very easy to say with hindsight etc and we dont know and never have known the full extent of responsibilities a D o F has but they not come cheap.
But noticing there has been a very obvious lack of rumours about appointing this position and perhaps we have decided at least for this season to do without !!!!!!
Can see why most would agree with this option but for a club that lauded this as an absolute requirement for the neccessary management hierarchy at a club seems our thinking has done a u turn on this overrated idea in my eyes and probably great majority on here. |  |

Hmm, you've reminded me of a conversation I had with one of the staff in the club shop when I last visited it. He said that Reilly's son was getting very involved in many areas of the club's work.
Maybe, the Reilly boys are really doing their due diligence and seeing where there is 'potential' etc. before investing (hopefully, more wisely than has been done since 2011) or not as the case may be. |
There going to need north of £50M to wrestle control from Ruben. |  | | |

Do we know how much Richard Reilly paid for his 12% or whatever it is now? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. That should give a fair indication about the club’s worth I’d have thought. |  | | |

Really?
If I had an asset that was losing me £1.5m or £2m a month and someone offered me a penny for it I'd snap their hands off.
Why do you think he'd hold out for £50m or more? | | | |

Well, for starters the stadium probably has a value of £80M. | | | |

I'm aware this is sounds like a bit of ITK post (which isn't my style)
but a friend of mine had a pro-am golf day last Friday and was partnered with Chris Wilder. A few drinks later in the evening, it transpires that Wilder was talking to QPR about a role at the club, and he was apparently spotted at the Ipswich game.
Surely not the DOF position... |
A bloke down the pub said ...... 🤣 | |

Show us the money then. Let's say Ruben starts at an asking price of £80M. That's just over $100M. When I last looked, Riley was valued at $230M. So, if he and his family want QPR they are going to have to borrow that sort of money given his current wealth. Could be, he gets other investors on-board to fund a buyout. Nothing seems to point to Ruben wanting to sell, but if any buyer offers that $100M plus guarantees on funding etc then maybe we have a game. | | | |
