The level of the Venky's incompetence is quite unique, I don't think we can expect the same from QPR.
Yes Harry could go, and some players would leave, but I still think they'd have a great squad.

Vital we get promoted this season..

The bookies have us 5/1 to go up, so the chances are against it. Losing Cardiff, Hull and Watford but gaining QPR, Reading and Wigan will make next year's Championship stronger than this season, and you have to believe QPR and Reading will be in poll position for the automatic places, and if Martinez doesn't get sacked they'll be play-offs too.
I can Adkins getting the Reading job and more top of the table clashes with the goon next season.

Of course we can.
Their manager will walk if they go down and they will be lumbered with some completely unmotivated big earners and clueless owners. Just like Blackburn. Wolves aren't much different.
People need to realise that a massive budget is useless in the wrong hands and if it is being spent on paying Premiership wages for players not good enough for the Premiership.

Even though they are in the bottom 3, I still don't see Wigan going down. Someone will drop in at the last moment, like Sunderland or Stoke.
Or Villa.

If we don't go up this season, I'll be lumping on us next season to win it.

Everyone always bangs on about the clubs coming down being a huge threat and two out of the three ALWAYS have a nightmare. If QPR come down those payments wont scratch the sides of their outgoings and none of their players will fancy it.

I think if they get relegated QPR will be a different proposition especially if Arry stays with them.
And next year, 2 out of 3 might have a nightmare. I just think QPR won't.
I was willing Bolton to go down last season instead of QPR as I didn't expect Bolton to do well. They're not doing that badly though. And Blackpool did ok too after coming down.

Dont think that he would take it now but if they get relegated he could do so during the summer.

Wigan play Aston Villa on the final day of the season at the DW Stadium. Got to be a pretty reasonable chance the loser of that match goes down.

Also re: next season's Championship, I think Leeds could be a different proposition next season. I think their new owners have kept money back so far because they know Warnock's going at the end of the season and/or they don't trust him with their money. Seems like they have a plan of succession (still can see Adkins being in the frame) and whoever it is that does go there is likely to be given significant funds to have a proper tilt at promotion.
