It's the truth and it's QPR who showed huge disrespect to Mendes by making plans on HIS land. I went to the consultation event in Kensal Rise and asked how QPR were going to get Mendes' land, they said that the club were trying to liaise with Mendes but he was not responding. We have agreements with other land owners but a substantial percentage of land needed for the stadium is owned by Mendes. Forget about compulsory purchasing now that submitted his own plans, using his own land. [Post edited 6 Oct 2014 17:29]

Don't be ridiculous Dave. As far as SOG is concerned QPR only does things in a negative way. I don't see the point in supporting a club that one would dislike so much, but there you go. | ![](/images/avatars/2186.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Mendes owns the land you can't expect the man not to get upset when other businessmen make future plans on his land.

It shouldn't have been a shock to them as the area was open for people to make plans for re development which QPR have done and others can do as well. They either make their own plans which they have done or sell the land to someone else, I'm not sure why they feel the need to keep having a go at QPR, coming across as a bit bitter | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes but Mendes owns a substantial percentage of the land and always had the upper hand. He runs a successful business that makes millions in profit, he is no mug. | ![](/images/avatars/5351.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Whether it's the truth or not, from whatever perspective; and who's disrespected or offended whoever isn't related to the point I was trying to make. I think that if CarGiant are going to go to press they could probably have done it in a bit more of a diplomatic / reasonable way. That's ignoring any QPR connections. | ![](/images/avatars/1640.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
