You better hope and pray that we move to OOC, he makes a killing and clears the debt. Do you really think he will hang around if we don't get OOC? Everything would have fallen apart and we'll be in danger of losing Loftus Rd. | | | |

'the only consultation we will be asked about is if stan bowles will get a statue outside' well, in keeping with the Danny dichio QPR podcast ,I would like a room of tranquility for the gay QPR supporters group to reside in splendid isolation, admiring coy vignettEs of sailors on shore leave, indulging in innocent horseplay in skin tight bell bottoms. The hardcore stuff would obviously be sold under the counter at 'tony incenzo's horsemeat emporium' in among his collection of QPR programes at the shay, halifax , next to dave thomas selling a kick up the r's stall.

They've done two surverys on the new stadium open to all supporters, also had open days at the stadium and in the local area where you could go in and ask what you like about the project and what they were planning. I'm sure fans group meetings will follow should it get closer to happening | | | |

Tony F on 13:02 - Jan 29 by Saycey | Fascinating thread this. I'm not particularly prescient, but I was saying stuff like this a couple of years ago (and taking dogs abuse for it, especially on the Qprdot.org forum) Have people felt like this for a while or is it a case of "seeing the light"? A number of things have made me increasingly skeptical. It started with the very first season, when the promised season ticket refund turned out to be a club shop voucher. The main thing which coloured my judgement was being evicted out of the Lower Loft. All water under the bridge now. But at the time I was incensed and thought how could a chairman who alledgedly cares so much about the fans do something so shitty with no notice at all. It troubles me greatly that you still see forum and Twitter posts declaring undying love and devotion to the Chairman. "Best we've ever had" they say. "Do you want Tango and Cash back?". "He's had his pants pulled down". You see, for me he never did anything worthy of such worship. I said this a couple of years ago and I'll repeat it. The only ones who have had their pants pulled down in the debacle of the last 3 years are the fans. |

What you like about the project that's the thing Dave the project is being forced on us you could say I like the seats , or the new chicken cottage snack bar , that stuff is irrelevant im talking about sitting with us going through designs, capacity ( we don't need 40k) locations, costs, the possibility of extending LR or if we actually want a new stadium all of that is consulting with the fans not surveys and tell me what you like questions | |

I share your sentiment… Tony is a compulsive liar, he's done it on numerous occasions to the supporters and there are narrow minded fans who still chant his name. All he does it promote himself and how well he's doing for the club with false headlines, none of which have been concrete… The training ground is a farce, "Its going to be state of the art and will be built in 2yrs", THEN "It may not happen", THEN "We've updated our current one and its good enough", "NOW "Its going to a bit smaller a than expected but we're going to do it"… whats next? With the new stadium he's trying to use OUR club to influence a major properties development whilst risking the future of the club by borrowing MILLIONS against it. Tony doesn't own the land, he said " QPR CONTROL " the land… what exactly does that mean? Rubbish, Either the government own it (They don't, not all of it), you own it (You don't) or you've had an offer accepted with the land owners to buy their land which we obviously haven't. He's now saying a deal can be made with the land owners and this is all a year after telling all the fans it would be built by 2018. Honestly what an absolute clown and liar. Clubs finances! In APRIL 2013 a £15m loan with Barclays was agreed by the owners, this was to "EXTEND THE RELATIONSHIP" with Barclays and was needed for the new stadium… http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/apr/16/qpr-bank-loan-tony-fernandes In MARCH 2014 a further £27m loan was agreed with Barclays, this was to "A FURTHER EXTENTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH BARCLAYS". This loan was "secured against the club's assets and Premier League parachute payments including potential TV revenue" http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/28/queens-park-rangers-27m-loan-bar BOTH LOANS ARE STILL REGISTERED AGAINST THE CLUB. FINANCIALLY, He's totally finished the club… and I've not even touched on transfers, wages, the amount of managers at the club or the fact the club is always in the public eye when it comes to manager vs. But hey, hopefully we'll have another video soon to make us all feel warm inside and really happy about t #KeepWestLondonR's | | | |

Yep, glad someone else checked their facts. Yes we now have a second "abc loan" as I previously mentioned. So, debt zero to 170-220million (accounts will be interesting) So , mortgages secured against the ground 10 million to 42 million Official Supporters club dead The oldest fans group in English football (the LSA) he won't meet with. | | | |

I may well be naive but I don't quite understand how I'm being in this instance ! I thought that title should be for those that take it for granted that TF & Masters will win the contract. If they have to do a deal with Car Giant to be involved with re-developing Old Oak they have essentially lost, as their profits would be nowhere near the expectations. It may still be enough to just about keep us afloat I repeat. If they lose the contract completely, my mind fails to comprehend the cost to the club. I know it would be substantial & probably more than a potential buyer would be willing to take on. However, the exact amount is beyond my ability to compute. Come to that, if they lose Old Oak, would TF still be employable? I suspect he would be the fall guy & removed from his exixting companies. [Post edited 30 Jan 2015 18:53]

That's all part of his PR game.He knows that there will be a number of fans who say "good old Tony,see he,s keeping us involved" but the truth and final outcome will be very different. I personally can't see how they would fund the project.You achieve nothing unless you are a success on the pitch and we are definitely not that. | | | |

Except for the last sentence, isn't that what I said ? Tony and QPR are small parts of the big ambition. It looks more and more that Qpr and Fernandes will be cut adrift. The board have decided not to give them anymore money. Wait and see till the end of the season but if we go down Tony and Redknapp can go whistle for their money. | |

Sorry John, I have edited my post as the last sentence was in the wrong place! It was meant to be after stating that profits would be reduced if Car Giant were involved! I'm sure we are mainly in agreement but think we both originally wrote a sentence that could have any more than one interpretation. I know I certainly did! I can't disagree with any of your quoted post & think that TF must be very worried by recent developments. | | | |

I'm glad that everyone is pretty much in agreement in here. I'm more into facts than being fed rubbish and false promises by Tony F. If we are relegated this season, then I'm guessing VERY quickly things will turn very nasty at QPR (ESP, if we are relegated with a few games to go). The fans will turn on the board and manager, it won't be pretty. I don't know where that would leave Fernandes, Harry will obviously go... Anyway I don't want to tempt fate, as I do think we'll stay up... On another Tony Fernandes subject, the serial tweeter had confirmed Matty Phillips is staying... So that must mean there's a big chance Hoillett is going... Fernandes should really just leave twitter alone! | | | |

We agree on the main points. Sorry if the Naive bit sounded personal. It was meant as a general comment to people who can't see that the Mittall's plans don't depend on QPR. Good to be friends again. We're in for a rough afternoon. | |
