you need to get out more.

One QPR site has all the QPR paper links on


which all are rumours!!

[Spencer]

Put it into context

What football messageboard does not have rumours?

I've even seen some hertberts say that this site will fold when GP goes. In fact, the rumours will still be on here, in truth probably get a few more.

Thanks for highlighting that for me - i know most are not as intelligent as you....

Rumours are...

Ched Evans could be signing for us.
Kitson might be signing for us

Bulls..t

Ched Evans has signed for us....
Volz has signed for us.

But ...things change and now they haven/t

[kingy10]

What about the 4 year plan? Is he admitting he is a failure?

I seen many posts on other sites, where they have got in well before this site and many locals.

Think you have to

I listened to Talksport most of last night.

I used to hate Collymore but now find him quite a good listen, for a monday night.

But utterly useless on a saturday night up till 7? when he sometimes has an agenda on whether benitez stays at liverpool or not, for example. There's normally at least 40 odd games that some people want to hear about, including about us, and off he goes about liverpool all show, so bloody boring, and if 5live have a 5.15 match on, you've had it, no football roundup.

[Sharpy]

Gavin and Stacey very funny ?

I think you ment a shower of ****e.

Collymore is probably the best ex-pro commentator/analyst out there. Strip away any preconceptions you have about him and listen to what he says about football, how it's played and administered. Exceptionally intelligent guy. He'd be far better back on the BBC where he didn't have to pursue the shouty confrontational aspect that Talksport insist on to drive texts and phone calls.

Can we just make up and remember the good old days under Rioch?

Benny,

Don't you mean Harford (Ray)? Those were the dark days.

We don't need to remember them, because we are watching the remake starring new players i.e. Ramage, Borrowdale, Ikeme, Hill, Stewart, Quashie, Leigertwood etc in place of Harper, Sheron, Morrow, Kulcsar, Ready, Rowlands (Keith), Dowie and a new director (Harford, Mick). The producer is Briatore in place of Wright.

I know, and fair point, but think your site seems to publish more rumours than any other site.From what i have seen pre this transfer window - no one saw the Bent,Hill,Ikeme signings coming - but had revelations of this that or the other coming in.....

Anyway ..on another subject Pete....i have just sent you a PM...wonder if you can help.!

[MYU]

Listen I have nothing against those with an entreprenurial mindset, fair play if you are able to run a successful website and business and make money from it.

What I'm trying to do is get to to the bottom of is why a Smear Campaign of Paulo Sousa implemented by yourself took place. You can't hide behind footballing reasons as Sousa was proving himself as a competent coach that is the bottom line. I and many others alike believe that there were more sinister motives at play.

The only way I can explain you make money from the site is by increasing subscriptions to QPR Player via hits directly from this site. People then have to subscribe to Player to get the full benefit, you collect commission. Personally I don't think that is particulary bad thing if you don't have any kind of agenda, unfortunatly I don't believe you fit that profile. I'm fairly certain some internet whizkids out there can explain a few others.

Any website can do that but we do NOT make a penny from it, it's news from the official in which I post up, some fans have QPR player and some don't.

If you can find an affiliation page then please provide it because I'd love to get paid for members who sign up through this website via our links, the truth is there is no such link and if you feel there is please contact the football leauge as they will sure want to know about it.

I work for Perform in sales but it's only telesales, not via website.

I'd like you to back that up and please do.

In regards to making money on this site, all our members know we pay lots per month to keep this place running, we do need the website to fund it self, you will also see stickies put up here asking members if they would like to advertise in order to make the site pay for it's self. (You may have missed it)

We still have no income unless it's donations but still working very hard to bring in advertising.

What you have done there is just assume and I can assure you that you are very wrong and if you think I'm wrong please provide links and fact, we have no problems with that at all.

If we were getting paid it would show in bank statements the going in's/out, which we have so we do have facts to provide but do you?

Also the day we break even and the site starts to pay for it self our members will know because we would have reached our goals and means we'd have more money in our own banks but the fact is we are still paying 100% to keep this site running in which you all use.

[MYU]

Ahhh, back to your old threats, if you don't like the poster, (I'm pleased by the way, as the feeling is quite literally mutual), then ban 'em. You should have been brought up in Stalin's Russia, then you could have got the KGB round to dispose of me! Now you are more than happy to smear the reputation of some outstanding supporters such as Paul Finney, but when the boot is on the other foot you won't come clean but just stand there and threaten. Bit like a schoolboy bully in my opinion.

And once again you do not cover the accusations about the treatment of Sousa and the usage of this board in that inglorious campaign of hate.

You see, even MYU has admitted that you make money from the site. Cost of advertising each month....£120, now this in my book is making money. Whether other overheads are higher than what income you are generating is irrelevant apart from the fact that you have done your sums wrong. Now if I was running a site then I would be saying to prospective advertisers that what you would get from the cost of your advertising is a miminum guarantee of x number of hits per week/day/month. After all, isn't this what pays for the whole cost of the internet, advertising, isn't this why Google is a multi-billionn dollar company. Face it QBP, you have to keep the interest going to ensure that the advertiser remains, and you do this by your rumour-moungering and relentless inane threads. Now what ever happened to those 'five signings' two that would be agreeable, one that would split the fan base and two that people would not care for?

Nobby - The highlighted bit about in your post.

Can you please show me where I have said this because that money made would be going directly into my account if this site was?

Instead of wasting your time writting rubbish on here just provide the facts for everyone to see.

I'll say it again, this website is costing money each month, forget the money we've already spent on it so far, plus all the time worked on it.

In order to keep the site going long term we need investment and this website has never hid the fact, we are looking for advertising to bring down our monthly cost and you tell me what is wrong with that?

It's like having a shop and giving everything you sell for free, that is what we are doing right now.

If I wanted to adverise QPR Player on here you would find better offers than what you see online, that is what telesales do if you didn't know you do know and please show me which offers we have on here right now?

Anyway the point is that this is a QPR website and I would very much like to advertise the offers online here because not only will it save QPR fans money but will help run the site a little.

We all have jobs, if you don't get paid for the job you do then you are working for free, who is to pay your bills and how you going to pay to keep your family running?

QPR have asked us not to advertise the offers online because they want members to pay via the website, we make nothing from it.

We needed money for a new camera so this site asked for donations, we didn't lie and asked our members for help and told them what we wanted to buy for the site which we still use today.

[terry ball]

Spencer okay let me put this way

Is this sensitive information?

Ched Evans is signing, but in the BATH
Dave Kitson is coming to QPR
Cousin will sign for us after the Africans CUP

I thonk most of it is rumour and treated that way. If I came on here and said a player had one testicle, that would be sensitive information, not the above. Its simply rumours

Pete, of course that is sensitive information! Our transfer targets are getting into the public domain via our dof. As you are well aware, that could then jepordaise a deal if other clubs catch wind of it.

I accept all clubs have rumours, but for me a rumour is something born out of speculation. For example, "my dad is a taxi driver and he picked Dave Kitson up from Padington and dropped him at loftus rd. Or, "My mates mrs is a cleaner at Loftus Road and she see Dave Kitson being shown around the ground". Other rumours surface when players are out of contract and get linked to clubs with former managers they have worked under i.e Morrison and Dowie.

When the dof personally tells you who he is hoping to buy, then that goes beyond being a rumour and becomes a fact, regardless if the deal is completed

Good point Tel

Expect a wishy washy response.

I cant say i have noticed that but i always listen to him during the week as on Saturday i am normally on the lash..
