We aint favorites by all the bookies for nout !

[Shania]

I just cant get why people sees us as favourites,ATM. Wigan and Reading must be much better TEAMS in my opinion. I would say Bolton and Forrest will be up there aswell. When did we last show the grid and determination you obviously need at this level. Another concern of mine is that QPR will be the team everone want to beat. Besides; we are not traditionally a team which is espeially good at handling pressure. That´s why we should have done our business early.

The gaps going to start growing bigger and bigger between the Premiership and Championship so the board will see it as a must to be back up as quick as possible. Also doubt Harry would stay unless he's been assured that he'll be backed. The board are simply trimming the deadwood first. One was supposed to be in today and another before the weekend, surprised we haven't announced anything. Still the league won't be won on Saturday and we should have enough to win.

very true

The board will be happy to go for both cutting the finances and go for promotion ,
Promotion can be gained for a fraction of what was spent last 2 seasons

I reckon our first game last season was a huge part of what happened over the rest of the season. The team never recovered from that - so Saturday's match IS really, really important IMHO.

Last season expectations were high and everybody was expecting a mid table finish. I think this season expectations are more realistic.

[QPRWEBBIE]

No I reckon the board can afford a season down, which will give a much better
preperation and as Stanley76 said a consolidation period. As a loyal fan, I would not expect
great miracles this season.
Things will be more stable, just in time for our new stadium on 2015-16 methinks?

Absolute rubbish, these are business men, you telling me they would rather stay down for a year and then may not return for 3 or 4 years than go for the £140m a year prem gold pot, come on !!

Very true, we need a good start. Another loss won't be the end of the world but will demolish morale IMO.

Prem team = Huge global marketing potential
Champ team= Not so much

They want promotion no doubt but whether they get it or not remains to be seen.

No, sometimes it takes a re-build before making a big push for promotion, that can be done in one more season. I'm not getting my hopes up for this season.

I remember TF a while back saying he'd be ok with us not coming back up this year. Cant find the quote though, its been lost amongst all the Parker/Crouch/Hooper/Boom threads!

I like what you did there. I think a lot of R's fans need a reality check and keep their feet on the ground.

I've got to agree with Webbie absolute tosh the board can look at WBA and try to yoyo for a couple seasons while rebuilding if they manage to go up for a season and drop back down so what they get the Prem money then the parachute money
if they do that a couple of times they would be in a much stronger position than staying down for the suggested 2=3 seasons with no guarantee of getting promotion

[Yousef]

that TF and the board are not aiming to get promoted this season.

It looks as though a total offload and overhaul of players is the main priority. It looks this way judging by the amount
of players in talks and have left or look like leaving and the lack of players coming in.

Mid table is my prediction and then a push for promotion in 2014-15. So lets enjoy the ride!!

Totally agree with you. clearing out will take the whole season. There will still be players not wanted by Harry at the club.
