Why it's become harder to like the not-so-Super Hoops

UNLESS you are a Chelsea fan, it is hard not to have a soft spot for Queens Park Rangers.

Or at least, it was.

In what should be a summer of celebration as they return to the top flight, something is not right at Loftus Road. Quite a few things, actually.

Unfortunataley not many Premiership club owners are well liked by their fans

Paul, can you C+P it as the link wont let me in. cheers

[paulmason]

Nope, MYU asked me not to post the complete text, even with a link to the original source, as it is something to do with advertising, which is daft really as you would want to keep people on your own web site and not send them to someone else's.

Thats ridiculous, because i liked the way you id it before.
Myu's way is ridiculous, directing us away to another site.
As long as the link is there below the text, then its ok.

Just revert back to your way Paul. Myu is wrong.

(The reason why we can't view the site is to stop people from copy & pasting, we need advertising to help reduce our monthly cost and if advertises find something copy & pasted on this site then we lose advertising. We can always make it a paid site so we don't have that problem.)

if you had a table of how well liked owners are in the Premiership - we'd be at the bottom.

Sorry change of subject.

This site would love to display someone else's work on here but its stealing other peoples work, that's why they have stopped people from viewing the site, you must register now. Copy & pasting to this site means we could lose the advertsing we have already which then means we have to find more money to keep this site running each month. We are trying to upgrade our server to something more powerful in order to stop this site from crashing and every little helps.

That is 100% incorrect! It is stealing if I pass it of as my own content, but I don't, I have provided a link to the original source which is perfectly acceptable and a lot more than other web sites like Sky, ESPN, BBC and many, many others, who take relevant snippets out and make their own 'original' content. If you don't want people to C&P because you dont like it, just say so, but don't invent things that are just not true.

Just my opinion MYu; but most of what is posted on this site is someone elses work or opinioins?

Be a very empty site if you dint post stuff or links like that?!!

Of course it is your site to run as you wish and i'll abide by your rules..?
