Harry Ultimatum!

[Ric-Roc]

3londo I agree to an extent but its alright saying 'let the people who run it / own it take care if business' these are the same people who monumentally f%cked up with our transfer policy the last 3 windows, sanctioning deals for sh!te. Harry knows what he wants & although yes he wants wants wants all the time it was no secret he'd been to scout Bridge on a number of occasions we all saw him on the tv & to then not sign a player on a free is ridiculous. I understand TF does not want to spend more money & add to the wage bill but if anyone thinks we'll go up with the idiots we currently have are kidding themselves tbh.

[QPR Richard]

as i said earlier... this needs to be resolved now... do not need this dragging on whole of pre-season... my concern would be who would owners want next... agree we need someone at board level with some football knowledge... or we will end up with Steve Cotterill...

AVB wants a technical director brought in at Spurs to provide a link between the board and the coaching staff. Perhaps we need the same.

[D3nisBail3ySliP]

This is spot on. People need to make their mind up..one moment it is get rid of all the ageing pros looking for a last payday and play the kids and championship players..next they are disappointed about not signing Wayne bridge! If reading are paying more money to bridge then well done the board I say.

Harry loves to give the press juicy sound bites and slope his shoulders ...if as he says he is a football man then Harry ...do that stick to the football and leave the running of the club to the people who own it and run it! He can't have his cake and eat it too!!

Spot on! wayne bridge was never a forward step. Another 33 year old is not the answer.

[QPR Richard]

He's a businessman like Tony.....brought on board for one thing and one thing only.

He is a strong and inspirational leader with outstanding communication and presentation skills. A powerful team player with a strong track record of creating teams and motivating individuals to ensure they perform beyond expectations.

In August of this year Philip embarked on his latest challenge when he became CEO of Queens Park Rangers Football Club as part of a takeover of the club. QPR is in the Barclays Premier League for the first time in 15 years. Philip’s short term aim is to consolidate the clubs position in the top league with the long term ambition to build a new sports stadium for the club in the White City area"

Let me get this right. Are you objecting to someone who has:

Managed and leveraged global brands and delivered first- rate commercial results.

A strong track record of motivating individuals.

An exceptional record of negotiating long-term commercial partnerships.

Transformed a white elephant (the 02) into the world's number one music arena.

The long term ambition to build a new sports stadium for the club in the White City area.

Been involved in 3 highly successful international businesses.

Been a senior member of the successful London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic bid team in 2005.

Sounds like an impressive CV to me.

Ok then, we know you don't like Fernandes. It seems you don't like Beard either. Who would you like instead then? Put forward the names of people you think would make a good chairman and CEO.

Reading the Beard CV you put up, he sounds exactly the kind of person we want at the club. Obviously, you disagree.

As let's have none of that rubbish about the board wanting QPR so they can build a new music venue. They can do that without the need to buy a football club.

[Ric-Roc]

As far as signing players to MASSIVE contracts, for too long at the wrong ages then yes I for one would be objecting.

By all means have him as the front man for the new training ground / stadium as I believe he's top notch but he is NOT a football man, does NOT know a players value or worth or most probably a lot about them throughout their careers yet he is in charge of spending millions upon millions on them leaving us in the situation we are in now.

Need an experienced football man to do player deals not this kind of guy who is much more valuable in other areas.

[QPR Richard]

If ever a club needed a Director of Football it's us.

[Ric-Roc]

Been saying it for years mate. Horse has bolted unfortunately.

[James1979]

I agree on Park transfer. But I thought for all others, these were the managers choices....warnock, harry and hughes. Beard and Fernandes then tried to get the deal done financially and by persuading the player. Or are we saying that the managers were told to sign the players?

[Ric-Roc]

You don't have to say yes to every player a manager wants you know that right?

You need someone advising the board who is knowledgable about players and their worth. Sometimes you just have to say no for the good of the club.

Hi Richard, it's big mouth again.
No one can question PB's CV and that is exactly why he is on board.
You questioned yesterday why TF (& backers) would be putting so much money into QPR if they didn't care about the football, they obviously do care about the football (worldwide media exposure) BUT even with being in the Prem (& it's big money) the stadium will only get used for 21 or 22 times a year unless we improve on our usual Cup runs.
TF & co are in the travel & entertainment business and the way to make money is to use the stadium a lot more.

In my opinion planning permission would have more chance of being granted for an established Football Club than for a new start up venue , especially if we get to stay in H&F where the council will get it's say over LR's development.

No-one should be in any doubt the new football stadium WILL be holding concerts & other events to make money.

All in All doesn't sound too bad BUT I don't want to watch QPR in a third full stadium just so One Direction or whatever the pile of tosh at the time is get to perform to 35,000 screaming girls.

Hired by Fernandes as its all about global branding to Tony. Lets get the Vice Chairman back in control as Amit did a far better job and i seem to remember his CEO did a good job too...oh hold on according to reports Amit is as pissed off as we are and maybe looking to walk away. Thing is Fernandes and Beard have made such a total **** up the last 2 seasons that we may be feeling the consequences for a fair few seasons. But never mind, you just put your trust in Tony. Trousers down...bend over...get ready

[FurtiveFox]

To be honest 'Arry has not been a good appointment and gall of it now seems to be engineering his own removal whilst placing blame on board. Don't slam the door on the way out son.

[Stanley]

Been saying it for years mate. Horse has bolted unfortunately.

Fernandes' biggest mistake so far IMHO, and more worryingly one he's shown no signs of learning from or addressing as he now heads into his FOURTH transfer window. Until it is addressed expect us to lurch from one **** up to the next.

[Ric-Roc]

Just had a phone call outlining what went wrong in the Bridge deal.

Alarming to say the least & not on Harry's part.
