Nice idea -- the roof off one -- but no chance due to oversailing rights and rights of light on at least two sides of the ground. I'd also say issues on the other two as well due to Jack Tizzard school and SA Road flats etc.
(It's another thing I'll never fogive the Gang of Three for when then didnt take up the option to buy the old school end land. Short sighted selfish c0cks!)
The AFC QPR issue could be closer and sooner than many of us think or want! I'd say this may well in fact have no link at all to the current business (God I hate referring to my club as a "business") and may be a choice of necessity.
Staying up obviously great and banks more stupid riches but it would take a miracle for the club to actually see sense and have a root and branch change of approach
We need to be the destination of choice for the raw'ish young talent and very decent pro's who have chosen to run their Contracts down but on sensible wages. We need to be a conveyor belt of semi home grown and home grown youth (a la Arsenal) so level headed kids and parents see that they have a far better chance of making the grade here than down the road. In this I actually really fear Bentford may be stealing a march on us!!!
Will we ever get back to being universally liked on the whole? I doubt it. We were little old unassuming QPR who played great football and gave the bigger clubs a run for their money. Then the cash started swilling, high media profiles were at play, the meejah decided we were "Moneybags QPR" anf they've don little to correct this or balance it by making an issue of clubs like Southampton spending £12mill on a striker, £8mill on a player who played 20 games and went on loan to Hull or that clubs like Chelscum are actually in possession of say £250 mill of players that rarely get a game, dont develop local players etc, etc
The way I feel now I'm really not bothered either way - up or down to potential oblivion, we'll exist in some way shape or form. I'll be there and might even look to be our very own Shepherds Bush Raider.... y'wanna deal with me?
What will be will be.. we've had our day out at Wemberlee... Que Cera Cera |
The only way I can see us getting rid of that reputation is by taking a stand.
Send out masses of communication through national media and saying that there is a line in the sand being drawn and a new philosophy starting today where we wont pay over X amount for the next 3 years. And then actually sticking to it (I appreciate this is the pie-in-the-sky bit)
Not saying this is what I recommend, or that we should do it - I think it's pinning us into a corner which wouldn't be healthy. But I think if we made a big song and dance, very publicly about this, those headlines would start to look increasingly stupid and journalists would stop using them. |  | | |

The level of TV money is such, that no one has, or indeed needs a "plan" beyond - stay up.
Even if there "seems" to be a plan - Everton pushing for top 6, Tottenham for Top 4, Arsenal for top 2 - you can see how difficult it is and how it all goes wrong.
No one took the Pardew 8 year contract seriously, Palace panicked when they hired Warnock, WBA have done the same with Pulis and Stoke are exactly the same level they were under Pulis.
Thinking about it, I will say, as we have discussed previously, that Southampton, DO have a plan that develops from within and they, obviously, have been successful.
As someone said above - £120M - or whatever it is, does seem like a plan enough for most. |  | | |
