SM press conference on Sky

[davieqpr]

He actually says 'a fine that the club will have to pay' not payed

[Undecided]

I thought he said "there's a fine they have to pay". If it had been paid surely we would have heard an announcement.

[rkingy78]

Said something very interesting unless I miss heard but did he not say we have paid FFP fine

I also thought I heard this when listening live.

[West Acton]

Cheers guys will have a listen again later

He actually says 'a fine that the club will have to pay' not payed

While I haven't listened to the interview, it never ceases to amaze me how often we, as fallible humans, hear what we want to hear, or alternatively, what we expect to hear.

[Bluehoop]

I think he was saying fine "to pay" rather than paid

[hal9thou]

The worrying thing about that statement is that it shows how little confidence anyone has of the latest appeal being successful. Not a huge vote of confidence is the expensive legal team either. Cue another Uncle Doh! moment......

I still haven't found out who exactly we're supposed to be appealing to........

Yes he did

[skranger]

He didnt exactly inspire me ... sounded somewhat downbeat IMO

Not enough chest-beating and kissing of the badge comments for you?

would rather the "winning with style" than "running through walls" any day of the week.

its a joy to be ppart of a championship club now instead of following some team inspired by a pub manager.

[West Acton]

Listened again and I think he says it’s paid

[cross it Dave]

Listened again and I think he says it’s paid

That’s what I heard.

[Awin]

That’s what I heard.

Me too

I am all for him becoming manager .... and no i was not expecting any badge or chest kissing come to that .... i was referring to his demeanor not the content of his words... he seemed quite flat for someone that has just taken a new role ... it was an observation - nothing more ... you have your opinion and i shall have mine ..

[Hubble]

He says "a fine that they have to pay". Without doubt.


I thought he came across very well. Measured, calm, authoritative. A refreshing change, I have to say. I can't believe people are already being negative about this appointment. I honestly think there are people out there who love drama and moaning more than actually following and supporting a football team. Therefore I consider their allegiance to QPR to be spurious, or at best, immature.

At the start of last season I was anticipating a car crash. We actually came through okay, but it was a rollercoaster with some real low points, often epitomised by our previous manager's mouthing off. At this point in the close season I feel quietly confident and very pleased we have a manager of McClaren's calibre in place.
