QPR in 5 years time - How can we save our club 17:11 - Feb 10 with 3183 views | Flex | You're often asked this in interviews. As fans, where do you see us in 5 years time, and what can be done to save this club. Many are still blinded to the fact that the club are in an absolute state, as we have an affable chairmen. We urgently need 'footballing' men as well as commercial men at board level or this mockery will continue. Further to this, we are in desperate need of a guiding principle, some sort of philosophy that directs and underpins the club. At the moment, we simply throw money at a problem, rather than exploring novel options such as coaching to improve our current crop of players. | | | | |

QPR in 5 years time - How can we save our club on 17:28 - Feb 10 with 3120 views | kropotkin41 | Personally I would be very happy if we are in the Championship in five years time, but a good outfit, there or thereabouts for the play-offs, waiting for the genius season like 2010-11 that will surely come along. 1. New training facilities. 2. Academy and some young players showing promise. 3. A cup run or two 4. Safe standing introduced at LR 5. Same owners but rid of all the end of career last pay cheque players. 6. More fans forums & (absolute ideal world) some plan to bring in and increase fan ownership. 7. Tickets at reasonable prices and deals on cup games. Aim to fill LR every week with a pricing strategy to fit. 8. QPR seen as model Championship club. 9.Pride If, in five years time we are back in the Prem, fine, but with all the above in place. Not at all interested in repeating the last two seasons. I'm not saying that I wouldn't ever accept relegation again, but relegation with fight and competitiveness and no fear of "doing a Pompey"! | |

However how many Koreans (or whichever country is vogue in that moment in time) will come watch us battle it out against Burnley on a Tuesday night is highly debateable. | | | |

QPR in 5 years time - How can we save our club on 18:26 - Feb 10 with 3012 views | rsonist | http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/feb/09/celtic-finances-champions-le Their alignment in this season's Celtic constellation marks the successful culmination of a five-year economic plan that might have prevented the global banking collapse had it been applied by Lehman Brothers and RBS: cover your risks and secure value for money on every transaction. "We decided to take significant funds from our first team in 2006-07 and to reinvest it in building a state-of-the-art training campus; developing a youth academy; constructing a sports science programme and the recruitment of an international football development manager," Lawwell said. "It is all about building a sustainable, long-term economic model which will buttress us from the effects of any sudden downturns. It is designed to ensure that we remain competitive in elite European competition." Celtic have become expert in shopping in what they call "undervalued markets" in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as England's Nationwide League. No one at the club is under any illusion that they will keep their stars for more than a few years, but from a collective outlay of less than £10m they will expect to earn a profit of around five times that. This was exemplified by the £6m sale of Ki Sung-yueng to Swansea City last summer three years after the South Korean midfielder had been purchased for £2m. It is the sort of transfer arithmetic that has made John Park, Celtic's development manager, as big a target for Premier League clubs as any of those who will line up against the Italian champions on Tuesday. It also offers a rebuke to the transfer window coconut shy in England in which vast sums are thrown at a depressing array of mediocrities in a desperate attempt to secure Premier League survival. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
QPR in 5 years time - How can we save our club on 18:41 - Feb 10 with 2987 views | TGRRRSSS | Celtic play in a far weaker league than us (and arguably for the most part the Championship). I admit they've done very well in Champs League this season, but have probably overachived and this season will prove something of an anomoly in the long term. | | | |
