You lot do the worrying I'm enjoying the club I love buying quality high profile players, safe in the knowledge that we have experienced business men who are worth millions already so are not trying to make a quick buck out of us, run our club.

Exactly, if you don't enjoy it now when are you going to enjoy it? Not like we can stop the ball rolling now.
How many of us are accountants with access to the club's books and business plan? We either trust the board or we don't. It's up to you.
I wish everyone would just say this rather than spout gullible nonsense stats about our "net spend being lower" or "I'm sure TF knows what he's doing". The club is clearly spending a lot of money. We don't know what the plan is or how viable it might be. Without concrete facts all it is is a question of faith. End of story.
The amount of players we've shipped out has been huge and also more to come with Barton, Bothroyd, Campbell, Young and Hulse all looking to be moved on by the club. We've had no option but to invest heavily this summer. It's been said many a time, this is our overhaul.
It's no secret that the previous regime signed players on big wages (Vine, Pat, One Size etc) so i doubt the wage bill is taking that much of a hit.
We're now building a SQUAD, not a team that's capable of sustaining premier league football for the years to come. TV rights to our club were worth 43m last season and that's set to increase massively with the new tv deal from next season. Take into account all the other revenue the club is getting from our new found partnerships and our club is doing very well in terms of bringing money in.
This transfer window is a one off due to the overhaul, expect no more than 1-2 additions in January and the same for future windows.
I hope those that are worrying saw London Callin tonight especially the bit with Mike Rigg very reassuring
I remember reading a glowing article about Ridsdale at Leeds, the boardroom photo with the gold fishes and all ... was very reassuring until it all went wrong I just worry, can't help it. Came too close to relegation last season and fear it will be the same nervous ending this season.

Did you see it mate? Not having a dig listen to him if there is a repeat show, he was talking about how we have done a calculated spend contrary to media scare moungering
Until I hear from the board that we've hit the skids, I'm going to enjoy this ride we're on, as best I can.
I'm confident that the likes of Phil Beard and Mike Rigg wouldn't be anywhere near us, if they thought our owners were shysters.
Fact is, they are here. That pretty much sets my mind at complete rest.
Let's be honest, we have a fair few people in charge of our club and I'm sure if there was any dodgy goings on some would be off like a shot. Rigg and Beard wouldn't hang about and these guys are doing a great job. The guys that own the club, well, we couldn't wish for better owners.
Let them run the club and let us back them to the hilt.
Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.
Have read many posts like these and am as worried as Krill. Ok love the ride but the question is why do guys like these buy football clubs that make a loss, it's got to be a tax loss on other UK earnings. Yes we have shed loads of cash coming in but with our piddly little grounds income making little more than a dent in our running costs how far does the EPL cash cow actually go. Also for any reason one of our mega rich owners no longer needs the club for any reason they are not going to sell without a return for their outlay so we still accrue a debt regardless to whom we owe it to. Expect to be crucified for this but don't get me wrong I love the club but we will never know the full story from this side of the fence regardless of what is said to the media, as with all other football clubs the supporter is a nobody.
