Voinjama Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 With games in the next month against fulham, reading, stoke and wigan, it is not all over yet. I think QPR will win 4 more games. Im not sure that 'll be enough, but it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Was disgusting watching Gillette Soccer Saturday with that word removed Stelling gushing over Redknapp like he was world class and then criticizing AVB just in case Spurs crash. think only person who seemed uncomfortable to be licking his arse was Le Tissier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Personification of everything wrong with modern football. I hope they and Redknapp crash and burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Bottom 6 since Arry waved his magic (other wise known as spend shit loads) after taking over at QPR. Southampton Played 19...23 points Aston Villa ....Played 19...21 points Sunderland ...Played 19...19 points QPR...............Played 19...19 points Wigan.............Played 18...16 points Reading..........Played 19...14 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Surely there done for now unless they win the last 6, I wonder how much harry will get away with, he will have had 24 games to save them and a large outlay in January, most press reports on the game say it was a hopeless situation and it was always going to he hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Think they'll be a few twists yet but come end of the season they will most likely be relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Just an estimated quick list of their top ten earners from various internet sources and hearsay: Samba - £ 100,000 per week Remy - £ 80,000 per week Bosingwa - £ 80,000 per week Granero - £ 80,000 per week Julio Cesar - £ 70,000 per week M'Bia - £ 60,000 per week Zamora - £ 60,000 per week Green - £ 60,000 per week Wright-Phillips - £ 50,000 per week And they have about 10 players on £ 40,000 per week So basically, they are **** with a barge pole with that wage bill. Note that some of these are purely estimates but I wouldnt be surprised if they aren't too far off the mark. They may be able to move some of those guys on if they have relegation release clauses or relegation wage reduction clauses but I imagine they didnt give some of them any as an incentive to come and join. Could you see Rob Green for instance wanting to end his 3 year £60k a week contract in a hurry? They are going to go the same way as Portsmouth. Only a 15,000 capacity stadium and a wage bill that must be 200% of their entire turnover. I feel sorry for the fans as they are the ones that always get shafted.

LondonLax Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 They have a rich owner who can keep bankrolling the players who they don't sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 $470m according to wiki, not that rich in terms of owners, wouldnt say he is rich enough to cover the coming losses, time for mittal to step up, he can cover it i've heard tony fernandes say he didnt really care about making / losing money at QPR because pretty much every single other business interest he had made money off the back of being associated with a prem club, for example QPR can lose money and be balanced by the fact that air asia is making more money, take away that prem link and does he lose interest in QPR very fast?

Jimzk5 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) They have a rich owner who can keep bankrolling the players who they don't sell. It's gonna take a lot of cash to keep them afloat, especially if they don't come back up. There wage bill alone is already twice what they turnover. Tony fernandes comes across as incredibly naive and a total bellend though. Edited April 7, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Can't see them shifting many of the big earners. Their better players today were those they don't own as well! They are the latest club to be redknobbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 They have a rich owner who can keep bankrolling the players who they don't sell. they will lose what 80m on tv money and you think the owners will pump in 50m to keep everyone? no way they will go like Pompey if they go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 They've been down for weeks. One could make the argument that they've been down since the first game of the season. They've just been absolutely dreadful all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the latest club to be redknobbed Most of the QPR players who are there on loan were signed before Redknapp even got the job. Can't blame him for everything. Your right, mark hughes has done a real job on qprs finances, but redknapp was the one who took charge of the place in December, claimed he wouldn't sign anyone as they already had a bloated wage bill and to quote saggy chops "the owner has already had his pants pulled down with transfers" and then spent 35million on players on ludicrous wages for a club of qprs size. He played this straight away by saying the owner sanctioned the moves and was nothing to do with him, saying samba signing was a surprise gift as he had only mentioned him and fernandes took it upon himself to sign him. It's frankly ridiculous that he will walk away from this with his reputation intact, they are in a worse state now than when Hughes left them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2013 Indeed. But a lot of people seemed to be giving them a chance if they won today (including some of my friends, to which I very much disagreed). I don't think it would have made a blind bit of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 was said at time but Samba looks absolute average for the salary he gets. Think they conceded 15 in 6 games prior to today. Not all his fault but he hasnt shored up defence like he was supposed to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yes, its amazing that some people still think QPR are going to stay up, just because of Redknapp and some of their players. The writing has been on the wall since August! They've been shocking all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
