When is A Bid, Not a Bid?

[PeterG]

Whats the difference between a bid and an enquiry

what the scunthorpe chairman has described was an enquiry. "would you be interested in selling Hooper?

A bid would be an official approach with an offer to purchase at an explicit value. for example a letter fax or email from an official source ie letter from QPR signed by the sporting director stating that they are prepared to offer £850k to purchase the registration of Hooper, an increased bid would be a second official communication with an enhanced offer.

People must be thick, if they cannot understand I have my own opinion !!!!

I watch enough of QPR to have a little bit of knowledge on how we play. I just love it, when I give my opinion and because you cannot challenge the argument you come out with the same old drivel.

I respect people who debate and even though we disagree, can share a pint on a Saturday, but the ones who say my views are someone else's might as well say I'm not a supporter of the club.

Hang on there a min pete, i refered to GP as coming out with spin ( unusual for this club i know) so how does that equate to your opinion, also i have watched QPR far longer than you have, but that dont mean to say i have any more knowledge than someone who as only supported the club for a short while........GP has form regarding porkies.

I know who i believe, i also believe you kept ppl on here dangling till the window closed...........the last half hour regarding a defender, you yourself have said Bale is unfit so it wasn't him was it.

Prehaps it was another defender, but that was not on the list of players you gave out.

I like this site but the BS does get on my nerves.

If you go into the Estate Agent and want to buy a house not advertised and they say its not for sale, is that a bid?

If you are requesting how much would it cost, does that constitute a bid?

I know we are splitting hairs here, but some of the posts today are OTT

How on earth do you manage to earn a living if you do not understand the difference between an 'offer' and an 'enquiry'! :waaaht:

Next time I'm down the loft, do you want me to bring my childs colouring books for you? Bless. :amazing:

[superckat]

Oh my god, I'm hysterics here. Pete you crack me up. So many times you try to make a point, but you just end up shooting yourself in the foot.

[qblockpete]

To be honest, you crack me up too.

I just know the kind what of posts you will make.

Not seen one complimentary post since this board started up.

you cannot challenge the argument you come out with the same old drivel.

oh ####....that has to be the best i have seen so far.....even fell on the floor laughing.....even by your standards that was a corker.........

[superckat]

Pete, I don't believe I have said anything offensive towards you. I don't agree with a lot of what you say and you me. That is part and parcel of messageboards is it not. So no need to be offended or defensive.

Increase the peace

Bid: a formal proposal to buy at a specified price

Guys, at the end of the day we are all QPR fans. Ok Pete was wrong but he only knows what he's told, just like the rest of us. Some of what he's told is reliable (i.e. watson, simpson), some of it less reliable (a few can be mentioned). But our own fans turning on each other just because someone gave them false hope is just ridiculous. The transfer window is shut now and it really does not matter if we made bids, enquiry's or whatever else. The fact is, we've signed who we've signed, we all support the same team and it's our job to get behind the players that we do have.

Can we all please just stop the bickering?

[Quaz]

Can we all please just stop the bickering?

no QPR this week so nothing better to do

[Half Empty]

When rumours are presented as fact, thats when people seem to lose their rag. It was said on D day that we had bid for Hooper and Pete even went as far to say we had increased the bid.

I appreciate the rumours on here, but not when they are presented as fact when it's actually all bull****. Im not even sure i can trust the club with ANYTHING any more as we are clearly all being taken for mugs time after time.

Last time I checked this was and still is a website & unofficial QPR forum.

Even if Pete or anyone else wants to spread BS or think that something they have been told might happen that's fine by me. Some need to take certain comments with a pinch of salt and understand a rumour is exactly that

Rich: I think you are missing the point. Paladini (Not Pete) said QPR made a last minute BID and is quoted on the BBC, SKY and other news organisations, the Scunthorpe Chairman said we did not. Its now 100% we DID NOT make a bid. I called Paladini a Liar (which he is in the case) and Pete has taken it upon himself to deflect and defend the original lie.

Not wishing to be pedantic but where has it been stated 100% that we did not make a bid?

Genuine question as I would love to see this clarified once and for all so we can see who was telling the truth and who was not.
