We need to calm our expectations. We are still 12 points clear.
That run that we've had might have just kept us from being in another relegation battle again. [Post edited 9 Mar 9:39]

If you told me a few months ago we'd be 12 points clear of the bottom 3, then I'd of snapped your hand off.
This year was always going to be a year of transition, especially with the recruitment we've done.
We're definitely not going down, but we just lack that consistency and a proper number 9 that would push us up the table.
It does feel like we're probably going to end up finishing anywhere between 12th and 18th, still a respectable season, but probably can do better1. |

Unfortunately, I completely disagree with your comments.
Organisations such as the FA, The EFL and the Premier League have failed in their duty to protect their clubs from rogue owners for far too long. The cases of Hereford United, Bury, Macclesfield, Reading, Bolton all come to mind.
You also fail to mention in your articles that the regulator would give fans a bigger say in their clubs over heritage items such as kits, badges as well as their stadium.
I get that this regulator isn't perfect, and it certainly won't solve every issue, however when governance from the top has failed the game for far too long, there has to be a tipping point, and whilst I'm normally against this, its got to that point now. [Post edited 6 Mar 14:09]

I think get to last years points tally, then perhaps we could look at trying different players. |

Im not sure if this has been considered before ,but surely the club has to explore perhaps building what could essentially be a "mini" loftus road.
building a small stadium maybe that has a capacity of 2k, alongside other facilities like a bar as well as a conference/events centre that the club could hire out to other organisations throughout the year, could be a way of helping us further boost our income.
This "mini" loftus road could be a permanent base where the youth and women's teams could play at, so that would save the club money as they wouldn't have to do a groundshare anymore. You could also perhaps make the pitch into a 4G pitch as well, so it could essentially be used throughout the week, helping us to further boost income. |

Ok, I'll won't comment on this issue until we get any further news about it.

I bring it up because I believe it's important and worth considering. I understand that you may not see it in the same way, and that's completely fine.
I'll leave it at that. |

Councils will almost certainly refuse planning permission for things like what your proposing.
Its difficult to see us moving at least in the short term tbh. The only way we do find somewhere to build a new stadium is if we move outside the borough and thats something the fanbase will find difficult to accept. [Post edited 26 Feb 14:34]

I think Eze has a release clause in his palace deal which is reported to be around £68m, which is £60m up front and £8m in addons.
I think Tottenham have Eze as one of their top targets, so its looking very likely he moves on this summer.
Typically sell on fees include the whole transfer fee and not just the profit, so assuming its 20% and he goes for £68m, we would get £13.6m. |

You've got to bear in mind that we've yet to fully see what effect Heston has on our finances, also got to consider the new tv deal and the fact we will get extra money from that as well. |

Important to note that next years financial accounts will show an increase in broadcasting income cause of Sky's new deal with the EFL which started this season. [Post edited 25 Feb 11:34]

Frey has an option for another year I think.
Cook is our highest earner, so unless hes willing to cut his salary significantly, im not sure he will stay, id like him to personally, but its down to our finances.
I think I counted about 8 players who's contracts expire as it stands at the end of the current season, so depending on who we can agree deals with, i think it may well be another busy summer in W12. |

I do personally think the issue isn't about capacity, but rather generating non-matchday income.
I do think in an ideal world, a new stadium with modern facilities would allow us to do that, but it's been very well documented just how difficult to find land in our part of the world is.
I don't think the fanbase wants to leave the borough, so that only really leaves some sort of revamp of Loftus Road on the table, whether it's a rebuild of some kind and we groundshare elsewhere for a few seasons or we do it on a stand by stand basis.
Ether way, I do think we need to find creative ways to increase our income streams so that we can become self-sufficient. |

Just thinking about the training ground, why can't we put a small stand in and move the women's team and youth sides over from Hayes? You could also look to rent it out as well to clubs like Southall etc.
That would help us generate some extra income rather than having to groundshare with someone else. |

A really good read that.
We're incredibly lucky to have Marti and Xavi, and hopefully he will be here for a very long time. |

Yes I do remember us putting one in and they only gave Leeds and Hull the top tier on that occasion, and we sold the whole lower tier to home fans.
Makes we wonder why we don't do it now the lower tier is open permanently to home fans for league games. |

I think Ipswich did have to move home fans from their seats cause the PL rule say you have to give 3k seats if it's above 30k or 10% if it's below 30k, whichever is lower. |

I was just thinking there surely has to be a better way of getting that whole lower tier opened without the need to net off the first few rows.
I know a lot of it is not the clubs fault, but it does fustrate me, especially as it's revenue we're losing at the end of the day. |
