It's all relative and the grass is always greener and all that, I know. But from a Premier League perspective we really are a laughing stock. It sucks being truly ashamed of the people who own and run your club, it's sours everything indefinitely. I'm sure you know what it's like to be constantly questioning the decision-making throughout the hierarchy, but primarily and to most cost from the very top. Good point, you have it bad and QPR in the Championship is quite normal, you guys however are a Premier league club all day long. Ashley is an arse I agree, and your club is being poorly run it seems, but I really like the fact you've been able to keep Rafa, Gayle scores goals in that division and you haven't struggled like some when relegated. I do know what it's like questioning the hierarchy, we had the fools Ecclestone and Briatore for a while looking to sack the manager as soon as we lost a game. While parading their superstar friends around their new Premier League football club [QPR, really?] Subsequent owners putting us in a shit load of debt looking to cash in on the new TV money this year, look where we are now. It can only get better

I really liked QPR when they were in the BPL and I'm quite sad to see where you are now. You were a joy to watch with stars like Loic Remy and Adel Taarabt (laziest player I've ever seen, but my god he was skilled). What's your solution to QPR's problems? How do you fix the problems and launch yourselves back to the premier league? Good prediction. But I'm seriously having a tough time imagining that Spurs could finish above Arsenal, can that truly happen? Considering Liverpool's current dreadful form and Klopp refusing to do business, we could even drop out of the top 4. Hi Hoarfrost. Remy is a good player and did well for us, but he came for the money and the bigger move he eventually got. Fair play though, good lad. Taarabt is a waste of talent, Harry Redknapp gave him a free role [basically told him not to defend] and he won championship player of the year. But once in the PL you can't have a luxury like that in your team and he became less influential [because he had to do some work] He had a good loan spell at AC Milan, but then nothing. A shame really, as you point an incredibly talented guy but the wrong attitude I'd say. The solution is already happening, just three years too late! We've always been a club that buys promise and scouts well and that's what we are now doing. Sean Goss looks like signing from Man Utd, apparently he is a Michael Carrick type midfielder, 800k so cheap too. Lua Lua on loan and looking at other young quick wide players and strikers. That's more like it, none of this pay loads of money for players who would rather be at a bigger club, but thinking hey they pay well. [80k plus to some] Ian Holloway is a QPR man and knows the club, so I reckon we may be looking up for the first time in a while. Ha, my family are all Spurs fans so I have a soft spot for them, they have to finish above Arsenal soon! They keep knocking on the door and this is the best Spurs team in years. I have faith.

I like Martial and he's young enough that he's got a lot longer than Zlatan but it still doesn't fix the issue with the defense. Also, I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for Liverpool after our last match Still, Liverpool and United would have been a far more enjoyable match. I think that once Bailly can play, your defense is pretty rock solid. He's such a big part of your back four. I wouldn't expect any sympathy from a Man Utd fan, but why after our last match? The result mainly. Like I said though, a United V Liverpool final would have been better than United against Southampton. That aside, the game against Hull today was an example of United getting lucky. Hull played a better game today, and United scraped though. Maybe Bailly will make a difference, but it all depends on how Mourinho plays his team.

In no offense, most of your BPL signings came for money. I really liked Julio Cesar during his brief QPR stay. Taarabt is one of the most frustrating players I know, imagine if he would have worked hard. His arrogance and laziness stopped him from becoming a top top player. His dribbling was out of this world. So, QPR has chosen to patiently build. Smart idea. You just have to make sure that no one steals your youth players. The board and the players must show ambition if you ever plan on returning to the top flight. I think that once Bailly can play, your defense is pretty rock solid.

Well, you can blame Pogba for committing a ridiculous handball in your own box. Liverpool should've won at Anfield and Man Utd should've won at Old Trafford. But that's one of Mourinho's strengths, scraping through shitty games. A winning team has to win when they play badly. Unfortunately for Liverpool, this is never the case.

The board and the players must show ambition if you ever plan on returning to the top flight.
No offense taken, you are right 90% came for the money and to showcase their skills to other PL clubs. [Or have their agents put out some feelers] It was exciting at the time, but reality soon hit home when we were struggling anyway, the dream was short lived.
Julio Cesar was awesome for us but again comes with a QPR horror story. We had signed Rob Green on good wages as first choice, then suddenly signed Cesar last minute.com thus having two keepers on high wages. We had to play Cesar as the guy was class, but I'm fairly sure that left us with the highest paid reserve keeper in the league. It's obvious an agent thought 'QPR pay well' Cesar was available so contacted us about signing him. Can you turn that down when you [supposedly] have the money? Whatever the opinions on the money it shows we were pretty much winging it. I can imagine the scenario......
''We've been offered who? Sign him up!!! Give him a shit load of cash on a four deal. Seems like a solid idea, no?''
Are you a Liverpool fan? That would explain your cheeky dig about youth players. Hated losing Sterling. Although we did get 10 million via a sell on clause when he went to Man City. Still, he never played a game for us, so probably not too bad a deal there, he left when he was fifteen/sixteen I think.
Man Utd fans, do you know much about Sean Goss? Apparently some fans are upset at him leaving as he is a good replacement for Carrick, Mourinho invited him to train with the first team recently yet the club still accepted 800k for him. I'm hoping he can improve our possession of the ball throughout games and give us some control and passing ability through the midfield.
Edit: Just checked, you are a Liverpool fan, damn your scouting network!! Yet thank you for the 10 million, we need it.

Your team was tbh quite skilled and had a lot of potential going forward, but you absolutely collapsed with Hughes and Redknapp (both are quite terrible managers, if you ask me). I really liked Julio. Everyone was shocked how a top keeper like him ends up in QPR, he was Champions League level. Terrific signing. Rob Green? Not so much. Cesar was tremendous and quite a loyal chap, even though his comments about winning the BPL with QPR were a bit far fetched. Oh yes I am. Talented player, one of the most talented Englishmen out there, but my God what a twat he is. We got a nice bit of cash as well, but then Rodgers threw it in the bin.

Hughes and Redknapp were poor I agree, although I was excited at getting Harry in but he just bought in the same old 30+ year old favourites he always had done, and then paid them a shed load of cash, Hughes was worse though. Cesar was way too good for us, he must have had a shock when he realised how bad we actually were. Haha, yes Sterling is an idiot, his advisors should be sacked. @breakfast, Just watched our 2-2 draw, we played well and created a lot of chances but ultimately had to nick a last minute goal for a point. We will take that all day though.

Haha, yes definitely a good point gained there, and very generous of Ciaran Clarke to nod home that last gasp equaliser. Although it must be said we were deserving of a point I think, whether it was us playing well or you guys playing badly we had a good share of the game and quite a few chances. Probably a bit of both, you were terrible in the first half, while we're getting better week by week at the moment. Anyway I agree a last minute own goal gift is a free point, play well or no. In an attempt to cheer you up a little bit, Brighton just lost to Huddersfield. I think I made the same face as your avatar when I saw that.

Oh no you guys play really well, but we did literally head the ball in our own net in the last minute haha. Brighton losing was great, although I'm massively worried about my home town Reading. They just keep scrapping wins out in the last minute of games, and it would be a classic bit of sod's law if the team I 'should' be supporting came and usurped our promotion spot.
