Phil Beard Resigns.

[zuluop]

absolutely certain that PB is out because of the Old Oak project going haywire. Cargiant completely got the upper hand with all their pre contracts in place as well as a lot of community work in place as well. What have we done besides a fancy video and a website.......
Anyway now that the council is talking positively about Cargiant's project I recon TF saw the writing on the wall and "fired" PB (or PB saw the writing himself and resigned before he would get the boot).

I wonder what impact it will have on our new stadium plans.......will they move further away from Loftus Road (than Old Oak) or skip the plans of a new stadium all together with their new strategy of using academy players and not spending on transfers. The latter does not sound like a premier league club though......

[QPR Richard]

Think he was.

[Scott Jones]

Keep seeing Devlin being mentioned as replacement on twitter but was he now the CEO when we had to get the buckets out. I thought from memory he left under a cloud or am I getting totally mixed up

Could have ended up in jail after the shenanigans that went on when he was with us (as others actually have). The thief was given a second chance at Brentford as others fired from the club also were. Well done he seems to have turned his life around...but coming back to QPR??? I'm pretty sure the life ban is in place for him still. People shpuld check their facts and history...what is this site? Full of premier league glory hunting kidddies with no knowledge of our recent history???

Whats DUFC?

Thought it was just another $hit jock team....... not sure what they've got do with us getting relegated though!

[Kevin Mcleod]

Whats DUFC?

[Jeems]

Right person, wrong time. Stadium may take longer then TF expected.

[Kirill]

While my personal view of the DUFC in charge of QPRFC has not changed at all (no cause for that as of yet) and it largely coincides with that of Vblock and Matty, I am gladly abstaining from the lively debate because I am happy that Harry has left and the team is playing better. I think now that we will survive in the PL and thus will remain financially viable. But God help us and the DUFC if we still get relegated.

I just feel that at the time, his experience running long term projects and his success with them (the O2 being the highlight) would suggest that he would be capable of leading the club in a positive direction forward. In hindsight - the key factor in your opinion - he made some errors in contracts and I'm not disagreeing with that, but he offered experience of the sort of thing we wanted from a CEO as a developing club.

But what did he accomplish that he has your backing as a good appointment?

[Abseits]

Ultimately, we can't kid ourselves that its easy to attract top talented players to the club - it'd be a thankless task for anyone. That said, our record in terms of transfers, fees and contracts during Beard's tenure is borderline insane. He had a good innings and a silly amount of devolved patience from TF and its now time for soemone new who has more experience in terms of pure footballing business.

[nasser95]

He was an awful appointment mate and the contracts he negotiated with players past and present proves that. Maybe if we was a few months away from a new stadium he may have been the man to listen too. What makes you think the appointment was a good one? just asking

Yea because setting up the O2 project needed someone incompetent. Honestly, you need to realise that he was a very good appointment that didn't work out as brilliantly as we would have liked, simple as that.

[MaineHoopsFan]

We've saved millions just getting rid of him.

YES! Was thinking the same thing.

[vblockranger]

one bungle brother down, one to go

[jmelanie]

We will still be liable for the fine even if we stay up this year

as for B I agree but the point is at the moment QPR are 150 million in debt going by the accounts so the board saying they will write it off ( will believe that when I see it) is irrelevant

I don't think the premier league specifically agree with the fine, so if we stay up, I got the impression the fine is not going to happen. Most other premiership teams make a loss so there would be too much pressure on the premier league.
