I know I shouldn't be starting a thread like this...

The Championship is an easy division to get out of at the first attempt. Look at Wolves...

Depends how much of a pessimist you are.

Could also use West Ham as an example?

The most worrying thing for me is hearing Redknapp and others say how difficult next year will be, due to it being a tough league. It is way inferior in tems of quality than the prem, which to be fair isn't all that either. Shockingly poor performances by all concerned was the reason for relegation.

I fully agree with Robbie Savage, having listened to his comments on the BBC site. He says there will be absolutely no excuses if we do not go up as champions.

Have you got a link to that?

We spent big and we failed big. We currently have a very large target on us. Championship teams are going to love trying to knock us down a peg or two. Blackburn, Bolton and Wolves went down last year. All failed pretty miserably this, in terms of getting back up. Blackburn and Wolves are even more of a mess than us.

There is a huge task ahead of us. We are not a Newcastle or a West Ham, we are a small club that tried to boost itself with cash steroids. And all we ended up with was a useless collection of limbs. We really need to have a way of moving forward that's not a huge gamble. Like PL or bust!! Bugger that.

I don't think it'll all be doom and gloom. We know our fate, and the changes required have been discussed and shortly to be implemented.

Harry will also have a full pre-season to prepare and there will be some new players brought in with the failures being moved on.

I have a feeling we'll have a good season.

agree with this, although there are big clubs in this Division some are in terminal decline. Think Harry has enough knowledge to mount a serious challenge

They know the players that we need to move on and the players to take their places, I think between the board and Harry... this will be the start of QPR!

Pretty much spot on, IMO. I consider what RS stated more or less (as) his annual dig at us.

Make him pretty much spot on...no more excuses from the board or the players. Time to put up or shut up.

[QPRDave]

But what will happen if we fail to go up at the first attempt, will our club be safe?

I can't help but worry, I know we've all thought about it.

i suppose it depends on how many big earners we shift this summer as to whether we'll be ok if we don't go up first time

but how can he say that when half the media are predicting a firesale?...We won't hang onto Remy, and although i like BZ he ain't been prolific and AJ the bloke can't stay fit, aand one i'd def get rid of....better strikers out there younger fitter more suited to the champs. So for savage to say we should walk it is stupid because we prob won't have many of this lot left
