Harry comment tonight..

[Ric-Roc]

Seems like Harry can't help himself when having a dig. Agree with both points above 100%

[dogsrrs]

Stevie Wonder could see this right , Hooper his agent and Celtic played this one he was never coming to QPR used our bid to get Norwich to up the price and wages to above what Norwich wanted to pay , wasnt there a poster that said Hooper was tight lipped and wouldn't tell his friends where he was going .
Redknap was dead right weather people want to moan abour him or not t the people who handled the deal our end fannied about they were willing to pay the price and should have given all party 's a take or leave it ,ultimation and moved on , like H said it's not the first time we lost out in drawn out transfer negotiatons but yeah lets all blame him anyhow

[Ric-Roc]

Not Harry's fault what happened with Hooper. Doesn't mean he can't keep his trap shut though.

[MattyRangers]

Player wanted PL football simple as.

Nothing to do with beard. Fee was agreed & wages too it seems so not sure why Harry is saying nonsense like that. Soon as a PL side showed an interest he was gone. Says it all.

This. Love how peoples use any old excuse to blame the board, embarrassing really.

[Ric-Roc]

Very.

[CroydonCaptainJack]

This. Love how peoples use any old excuse to blame the board, embarrassing really.

the board or the beard Matty!
You are right. It's pathetic the over-reaction sometimes

Doesnt bother me. It may seem like public rant but i feel it shows that this club is far more transparant compared to others i.e Arsenal that leave their fans wondering what their clubs motives actually are.

Im glad we've got a manager that is outspoken. Atleast im up to date with the negatives and positives, not just fed the same brain washing trash other clubs dish out.

[theblackmafia.]

Only at QPR...some of our fans are ignorant beyond belief. 'Blame culture', f..king hate it.

[jfish]

Not Harry and not beards fault.

Some of these comments amaze me.

[theblackmafia.]

...weeks 'till the window closes and more weeks 'till loan window closes. Yeah, it would be great to have everyone on board now but that's life, deal with it and move on - signings will come, whether it be one more or 5. CHILL THE F*** OUT

[iheartwegerle]

This is just a case of Hoopers Agent 1 QPR 0.

We got played as mugs, he never wanted to play in the Championship. Our role in this was nothing more than getting Norwich to pay more. Whoever was doing our negotiating needs to realise this and not get done again.

[Factamondo]

the club is currently owned/managed/staffed and 'advised' by a bunch of incompetents imho.....if we thought paladini n tango n cash were bad this current lot makes em look like saints.............im really pee'd off with qpr this morning!

Spot on there old lad the anti Harry whinening m!ngebags have their daily winge about H yet want to forget last January we had a bid agreed for Dawson by Levy,the board or whoever was conducting the deal farked about and allowed Dawson to play his way back into AVBs good books yet H is not allowed to comment on his disappointment at a good deal timing out but hey ho it gives the wingers their daily fix of Gloom

[stanistheman]

My thoughts too.

I may be being a bit naive here, but surely all Beard or the board can do in transfer situations is ensure that when a manager wants a player, they:

A) Make the necessary funds available to make the purchase, which in this case we know for certain that they did,

and

B) Agree to meet the player's salary demands, which many reports say we did.

You see if Harry had been keen on Hooper for a while, he should have said that he is the player he wants and ask the board if they can sanction both of the above. On the assumption that they could, the next step would have been to tell Hooper that he needs to sign prior to us leaving for Austria, or we will move on to someone who does want to come.

Might not have got him, but we wouldn't have been a week away from the start of the season, having completely messed up yet again.

I agree with that.

QPR have had all summer to deal with this, not only this month, but could have entered negotiations back in June. they should have agreed a fee with Celtic and then terms with Hooper and given him his deadline to sign.

Some of us have been going on for the last few seasons about how slow QPR are to doing deals, and that they often wait until the season is about to start or even starts signinmg players, and we are nearly always told "it's still June ffs, the window doesnt open until 1st July" etc. whilst the latter may be true it doesn't mean deals cant be agreed in principle.

We are now 1 week away before the Sheff W game and play the last friendly tonight, and where is the new striker or the replacement for Samba (Dunne will be lucky to last until September).

4 strikers have been release, another Remy is likely to go, whilst other attacking options like Mackie and Taarabt are also likely to be sold. The last 3 have not really featured in pre season, so even if Remy and Taarabt were to saty, how fit will they be?

I am so please that I no longer buy a STm because if I did, I would really be p****d off.

True about the transfer windows, but how many games will QPR have lost or drawn where they would have won if they had players score the chances created by the time they close?

QPR got relegated largely because chances to score goals were missed in the early stages of the season and sloppy defending i.e. Swansea, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, West Brom, Everton. And after this the rot had really set in and Redknapp came in and he failed to turn things around.
The probblems could have been avoided if strikers and CBs had been signed instead of loading up the midfield.

QPR are facing the same issues now.
