stop defending whats going on!

as a QPR fan you should be disappointed that we're not signing proven championship/prem players to get us out the division.

just admit it

Eh what point are you trying to put straight ?

the fact is Fulhams board didn't rip their fans off

[PeterG]

Pete we are a boutique project, the small crowds and high prices are part of the strategy of the owners

no other club in the championship has premium seats at anything like the prices we do and we also have far and away the best sponsorship deals in the championship, at least that was how they were heralded.

[qblockpete]

rangersw12,

they certainly did...and prices went up considerably, in the second year Al Fayed took charge.

peteg, I don't disagree with the boutique style they want.

[Gtleighsr3]

Pete what do you mean.
You want it to be boutique style or we are?

[Quaz]

this thread is quite funny......1st pete you were excited about the so called signings....now you post this up possibly to justify the crap we are signing.......

what happened to the 2 QUALITY signings you were on about...board suddenly realised the numbers don't add up...do me a favour...lol

They did not go up 50% like ours , they also did excellent promotions look at them now averaging 20,000+ and still have cheaper season tickets than us

The fact is the board raised prices 2nd season in the Championship and people voted with there feet we slowly started to build it back up and they do it again and ruin any feel good factor there was after the takeover

this is where all the moaning stems from the fact is people would have more attendance if they paid a reasonable price

[Mutley]

So for us to compete,

we would have to rely on having a decent manager who can get the best from average players and get us playing good football (ie, Burnley)which means also giving him time to do the job,

and also to not spunk too much money on ridulous contracts for players who frankly cant cut it and also manager compensation packages.

You can see where im heading with this....

[bpr11]

their biggest signing was 1 million pounds on Peschilido from WBA in the championship

Erm I believe they bought Louis Saha for more than 2 million in the Championship, he then went on to score the goals that put them in the prem.... I may be wrong, but I dont think I am
