AVFCforever1991 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You have to find some middle ground though. This is the worst year to go down, it simply can not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The way not to go is to sign players from a substandard league and give them 90 grand a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If we did try to do what QPR are doing and still didn't survive the drop people would be moaning at Randy for not keeping the wage structure under control, as it would be a disaster for this football club. A criticism made of Randy is that in the MON years he didn't take care of the wage bill which has lead to our demise. Well, now he is looking after the wage bill so this football club can be self sufficient, and people want him to now do what QPR are doing? It's a lose lose situation for Randy it seems. Looks like Graham to Sunderland too. I don't want him to do what QPR are doing exactly but i also don't want to continue signing lower league players for cheap amounts. No one is asking for the wage bill to once again reach ridiculous limits we want the current manager to be backed more than he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In the short-term. It isn't sustainable at that club and they will blow up sooner rather than later. I couldn't care less about what might happen to them in a few years. However right now their spending and managerial change could well see them survive while we drop down.

Stevo985 Posted January 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2013 We can all laugh at the situation QPR may find themselves in but if they stay up and we don't then it's worked. And if it doesn't then it seriously jeopardises the club financially. Huge risk. Much like ploughing lots of money in a bid to get Champions League Football. If you reach the champions league then it's worked. If not, then the club suffers financially for the next few years at least. Remind me again what you're opinion on that is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not supporting QPR's approach. I have no idea about their plans or what they intend to do. We can all assume they'll **** it up like Lerner but who knows. My point is it doesn't matter to me what is going to happen to them long term. If they stay up and we go down its not going to matter is it if we're in the championship and QPR are in financial trouble next year? All I'm worried about is our survival this year. What QPR are doing is going to make that harder IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 And your attempt at a dig doesn't work. My problem was not Lerner gambling for champions league because I don't believe getting champions league would have solved all our issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't mind who we sign as long as they come from a league you deem to be on a par with the PL and even then only if they're expensive or sorry to be fair..... "not cheap" to Right. So talent, potential, ability etc are secondary considerations? You are Martin O'Neil, and I claim my £50k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just be excited and posting on the main page like everyone else who supports the club. This line of thought is what fans of clubs who don't sign good players say to themselves to make themselves feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This line of thought is what fans of clubs who don't sign good players say to themselves to make themselves feel better. I didn't express an opinion either way. My point was it was strange that BJ was criticising randys approach in one thread, yet praising QPRs extremely similar approach in this thread. If that's not what he meant then fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 No like I said I'm not praising it. I'm just saying i couldn't care less what long term effect it has on QPR. The issue is this season and staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This is the Anelka who had to leave Arsenal because he hated London. That comment would be slightly more cutting if the Arsenal thing hadnt happened almost 15 years ago and Anelka hadnt spent five seasons at Chelsea in the meantime.
