Connar Wickham to Leeds.

[Stanley]

First off all, realistically what is there to be optimistic about?

We've played shocking all season under Redknapp, Austin just bailed him out countless time. We have a squad of over 30 players in on loan and out on loan. With about 12 permanent players. We have the highest wage bill in the league, management and players. We seem to be against giving our youth players a chance.
Were going to have to re-build AGAIN next season with a new manager. And we have a manager who doesn't know his first team line-up. Doesn't know which way he wants us to play anymore and has basically now called of our strikers fvucking awful in front of a camera...

A very loaded and rhetorical question.

Perhaps you just need to agree to disagree and accept that other people have different perspectives no matter how long this dead horse gets flogged.

Its not in my nature but I think I may have too lol.. I suppose im just wanting one of the 'optimists' to give me a different view with some light at the end of the tunnel.

Not 'don't worry were 4th'.. you cant use that just to paper over the cracks

Just get it all off your chest on London Callin tonight mate lol.

[stanistheman]

Would have taken him in jan over all the other strikers we ended up with to be honest

You, me and a number of others would have too. We stated on here before deadline that we would like him signed. Instead we got Doyle (who I think was a decent signing), Maiga (not sure about) and two young strikers in Keane & Dellatorre who are pure gambles and the latter is unlikely to even feature.

You watch Wickham score for Leeds on Saturday and in a number of other games too. He will probably score more for Leeds than Doyle, Maiga, Keane & Dellatore will collectively for QPR.

[stanistheman]

Do you think Dellatore will ever see the light of day at loftus road?

I'm just gob smacked we made so many loan signings.... unreal.

No, if he does it will be as fleeting as Chevanton''s appearance.

If Sunderland were reluctant to release him on loan in January, Redknapp should have held back on Keane and perhaps Dellatore and saved those loans for players who will get a chance to make a difference.

ok, so just the one question then (plus your own rant!)
We have a decent owner with great plans for our future including a new training ground and a new ground. We are in a better league position than I envisaged at the start of the season. Yes, we have lost three on the trot and auto promotion looks less likely but I (personally) would have been delighted with play-offs at the start of the season and we have a good chance of this. I have supported this team since the mid seventies and I have known far worse times than this and the outlook was often bleak with genuinely nothing to be optimistic about. I am not pretending I am happy with the way the season has gone in recent weeks because I am not but I am allowed an opinion without being told I am a 'head in the sand' merchant.

But you have got your head in the sand, you just once again disregarded the concerns which hit everyone in the face
Are you not concerned about what I stated is wrong at the club at the mo?

You can give the future speech like Phils Beard and Fernandes but im on about the here and now.. Not the past of where we have been, not what the plans on paper look like for the future.. The here and now of what is going on in the club and on the pitch.

It is only now you and others are probably saying I would be happy with play-offs, because we have lost games and lost Austin.
Realistically no-one was looking at play-offs when we were clear of 4th place by a good margin..

We should be walking this league.. And when you saw the squad at the start of the season, there is no way we were thinking play-offs

See there you go again!
The words 'needle' and 'stuck' come to mind.

I suggest taking your head out of the sand and looking at my points in detail and then think if you really care about a training ground at this moment in time

Whilst I would agree that with a half decent manager, we would have walked this league, I think you have missed a very important point.

It is a fact that there were a large number of people who doubted we would go up automatically. Some were even convinced we would be struggling at the other end. So for some, the shocking performances of late and very poor form all season, may not have come as a surprise. Can only assume that deep down they knew that Harry would be here this long.

Can't wait to hear you on LCI tonight. Or to see their faces, as you go into one.

Im not sure if most fans will back my opinions on the situation but Id like to think over 50% do

..at this moment in time? Why, what's going on at this moment in time, that thinking about a training ground should be put on the back burner eh? imo you take all this way too seriously....it's just a game of football........still each to their own. Good luck.

[Bluehoop]

They way you keep repeating your comments ad infinitum, I'm surprised the whole board doesn't just fold and leave you to produce a Russian TASS style briefing on a weekly basis. Clearly no one else has an opinion that matters, everything you say is gospel and the rest of the fan base has it's proverbial head in the sand. I suspect that until the proverbial head moves from the sand to your back side, you will not rest but the preaching has got really dull now

Too right.
If I had a pound for every 'head in the sand' he had written I would be lighting up a fifty now!!

That is the future so yes I do care.
