Have We Got The Best Chairman In The Country?

[stainrodisalegend]

I'd say Queens Park Rangers are very lucky to have Tony and his associates running the club.
I sit here reading some posts how Jenas is sh*t....Hoilett useless.....Barton is a cnt etc etc......yet is wasn't that long ago we had Bolder, Curtis, Culkin in goal, Santos, Stefan Moore?? We were going no-where...Think some are either on the wind up or have become very spoilt.
If wasn't for Tony we wouldn't have the players we have now sitting level on points at the top of the league looking to get back into the prem at the 1st attempt.

well said

Business wise yes, but football wise not yet.

"But football wise not yet"...

Don't forget he's the one who bought in one of England's best managers to us and funded a top of the table squad.

I would say football wise he's doing the best job he can do.

As in stays the **** out of the way and doesnt stick his nose in like he did previously.

He is in the process of improving after learning from last season's mistakes.

Good point vblock.

Good point vblock.

Yer but is it because we are not in the PR paradise of the prem? havent seen his moon face as much on TV since we went down but i reckon he will be lapping it up if we get promoted.

He has massively improved in regards to his mistakes. And he has showed on a few occasions (not signing bridge being one) that he has learnt. Dont you think its a tad unfair to criticise on the past

No not in the slightest. If he has learnt from the debacle of last 2 seasons then great. Time will tell i suppose.

No signs of him getting involved with the going ons in the dressing room, team selection, training ground etc etc

Only criticise on the past if he makes the same mistakes otherwise we'll never move on.

But like you said only time will tell.

Personally I think TF is as good a chairman as we could hope to have right now.

Also, I'm not convinced that having a rich QPR fan as our head is Nirvana. Decisions made with the heart, over the head, are rarely the best ones.

Tony Fernandes likes to be the underdog. He likes to build success out of small beginnings. At the same time, he would seem to be about as genuine a businessman as you could hope to get. Everything at this club is slowing improving under his watch. He's already had setbacks (relegation), learnt some tough lessons, but continued with his drive and ambition to build something successful. I have no doubt there will be further setbacks, but I don' think he'll give up until he gets that success and that can only be a good thing.

I will miss Loftus Road too. I empathise wholly with Vblock on that. I've been going there nearly 40 years, and first started doing so with my late father. Many memories - including when my grandfather wrote to the club to see if I could meet the players for my birthday as a young lad. They replied positively and I was able to go in and meet Tommy Docherty and the players. Will never forget it. Anyway...I digreess

The point is though that change, and adaption to that change is constant. Under this Chairman - the club will do that and it's vital. I don't hold the view AT ALL that they will put us in financial peril. Ultimately, you support a club as you want them to do well. So taking that to the extreme, there's a part of everyone that will want the club to (have the potential) to go to the top. Tony is systematically laying the foundations for that to happen.

Ok so to fill the new stadium we'll have to entice lots casuals. But who cares? We can't massively grow a hard core fan base quickly - but in the interim those casuals help us on our way to success. Great ! And look at the plans - QPR in the centre of one of the most prestigious new developments in Euorpe. It's a mouth watering prospect. 24,000 news homes built in the area - massive office buildings and retail parks. High speed travel connections. All of a sudden perhaps 40,000 is not such a dream. To be part of this new development is nothing but a coup. Amazing job from Tony and Phil.
Anyone who doesn't think so- I suggest you grab a copy of the book 'Who moved my Cheese' ?

Great post!!!!

We just have to thank God for having Tony as Chairman. Were where we going before Tony came in? I think many clubs are very jealous of us having TF as Chairman. There are bigger clubs then QPR that would welcome such investment. Why should we always find something to groan on? I do groan about below average performances from our players. I must admit that they make very nervous. First half against Blackpool as an example. For me, TF is the best that could ever happened to Rangers since the late Jim Gregory.
