Tony tweets regarding his future

[vespa]

Agreed Macca. For probably the first time ever, we've got a chairman who's willing to invest a lot of money, HIS MONEY, into improving the infrastructure of the club. He's trying to build a new stadium, a new academy/training ground, and invest in the squad. Sure, he's encountered a few hurdles, such as the Warren Farm protestors and Car Giant, along with failed managers, but his vision and efforts have been admirable.

There's a small but very loud group on here not willing to buy into his vision for the club. Fair enough, but it seems like that 15 year period from the 96 relegation never happened. They seem to conveniently forget those very dark days. It's not a period I ever want to revisit, but it's possible if this vocal minority succeed in driving out this current board, which will eventually happen if Tony steps down and begins to lose interest.

So basically what your saying is Fernandes ,took a top flight football club ,breaking even and playing good football and gave lots of promises about a new ground , training facilities and stability in the Prem ,and couldn`t deliver any of it . FFS the bloke promised us a new club crest and hasn`t even been able to deliver that . Turned the club right around from breaking even with no debt ,to losing money hand over fist .
How you can blame the fans who have justifiably raised concerns about the unsustainable way the club has been run ,is beyond me . Make no mistake if we do go back to the dark days as you put it ,it will all be down to Fernandes and the board ,spending far beyond our meens.

Takes a number of years to open a new stadium, particularly in London. I thought you knew that? Perhaps I'm wrong.

The Emirates took many years, Spurs have had plans for many years likewise. Chelsea have been looking for a new site too. It takes time for these things.

As for the debt, didn't you know it's owed to the owners, not any off shore bank? It's their money that's at risk, and LR can't be sold off to cover any debt because it's protected by a covenant.

Really don't know why you get so angry about it. The debt is a tiny percentage of the overall wealth of the owners. It's them that'll take the hit not you or I.

but didn't you say with Phil Beard at the helm he was going to stear us into this brand new world

[Kirill]

kirill, you should not be in an authoritative position on the main qpr MB with your negative vibe IMHO.

MYU , surely you must see this?

Look, I know very well that MYU does not like my attitude on the matter and neither do some other mods. But they can live with that and so can I. We can still run the forum efficiently together because we have been doing this for years and we trust each other. It works, whether you like it or not. And if I decided to leave, some would only be too happy to accuse MYU and other mods of currying favour with the current club regime and pushing out dissenters. We had plenty BS like that when Gianni was chairman, we ain't having any more now. We may have different views but we will always have a common cause.

Poor old D!ckie is blinded by the lights. Can't see the wood for the trees as they say. Or deluded in other words.

The clubs in a shite state, with another rebuild due. Open your eyes D!ckie

People on here that want TF out should be in the loony bin we get a chairman that cares for the club and they want to get rid of him we are lucky to have a chairman like that a lot of fans of other clubs around the country would love him at their club, we have some right idiots on here.

Well said gentlemen, I concur 100%.

For me, the key is that we have a chairman whose actions show that he cares about the club and the fans, in stark contrast to the previous regime whose only interest in us was as a business that they could buy and then sell on for a profit. Not to mention their utter contempt for the fans, which some seem to be conveniently forgetting.

Yes, the TF regime has made mistakes and has also been very unlucky with managerial appointments that on the face of it looked like good appointments but very unexpectedly failed miserably. The level of debt does concern me but I believe that if you have the right person in charge it will all come good in the end, and I believe that Tony is the right person.

Dear dear, trust you to pipe up again. No need to get all high and mighty from behind your keyboard just because I have a different view of things.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Behind my keyboard?

I'm happy to meet if it suits you better D!ckie boy. Name the time & place & I'll be happy to debate with you.

Deluded sheep.

Grow up will you? How old are you that you want to arrange meets with strangers off a forum? Weird that....

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Poopers gone

[Shania]

Not sure what Amit Bhatia will do so much better? Will he be here for the long haul? How do we even know that he is interested in persuing the plans regarding a new stadium or what a about the training ground wich is sorely needed .

[kron-1664]

Don't expect a response to this logical and well written post mate. Some people on here seem to think that if you dare to critisise the great man then you instantly want the club to go back to collecting in buckets and knocking about the bottom of the championship.

dont forget that 5 - 6 years ago before Tango and Cash took over we were on the verge of a second administration. It could get bad again.
