If you were QPR's DOF...

I’d thank my lucky stars that I’ve got a £600k a year job, and then I’d order my new Ferrari, praying Fernandes and co don’t tumble me.

We have seen the Club move from signing expensive aging players to a collection of loaners to today's apparent movement toward youth and the lower leagues.

What exactly (beyond "value") should we be looking for to advance our declining fortunes?

Tactical speed? Toughness? Touch (like a scorer or direct kick specialist)?

Our DOF/Board, well-meaning as they are, have gotten a lot of deserved stick for stumbling through the past 7-10 years.

It would be encouraging to see signs (beyond living within our means) that we are building something to look forward to, not ruefully reflect back on.

Thoughts?

To be brutally honest, when we went up to the Premiership with money on the hip, it should have been golden, lesser sides with lower budgets have done so much better, not only did we fail horribly on the pitch but we got hit with a financial penalty from the EFL, it does seem like a massive, never to be repeated oppurtunity that wasn't taken.
