If you're a reader of other clubs message boards, then the title of this thread should be quite familiar to you... which is not a recent thing either since we've been in the Premier league but also when we were a Championship club.
Why do fans of other clubs continue to believe that their club is a better option than ours and money is the only reason players want to sign for us?
I'm not saying that we are the better option but other things can also motivate a players decision to join this club.
In our case we are a football club based in West London which in my opinion and many others not through some sort of biased point of view is arguably the best place to be located in the country.
There is clearly a long term objective which the present board have about the direction the club is going which is discussed with players who may be potential transfer targets no doubt. Ironically there seems to be a cloak and dagger approach by the club which is good and not even our fan base fully understand what is going on behind the scenes despite numerous quotes giving an indication in the mass media there is.
Okay we have a small football ground and no it's not quite the same spec as many of our rivals. But our ground is atmospheric and old school so why do fans of other clubs assume players want to play in a shiny new stadium over Loftus Road. I'd be curious if there was a survey of Premier league players to list their top three away match experiences of the season. The majority of footballers like an intense atmosphere at a match it fuels the testosterone when they play and helps them up their game. You asked Gary Neville what he thinks of visiting our ground on Super Sunday or Monday night football he positively beams at the atmosphere.
Other motives which may make potential signings to choose us over our rivals would certainly include a nice financial package but what do these other teams supporters expect for us not to financially compete with other teams in the Premier league and fadeaway to give them an easier ride. Another motivation for a potential signing may have about joining our club may lie in the manager and his team as well as some of the players we already have at the club.
So to supporters of other teams who believe your club is an infinitely better option than ours take a real hard look at things before you pre-judge us as the problem may lay a little bit closer to home if your club is rejected at some point over ours.
