I'm sure I would have said the same about QPR this time last year

Don't let the negativity rub off on you, what happened to, hold the nerve? Just because the South Amercan Soap Opera has come to a predictable end, don't think the chance of signings has gone. Paul Winstanley has been a busy boy, and will have other targets in his crosshairs. Remember the...

Wow, it does get a little bipolar around here doesn't it.

If the club is, as seems, committed to adhering to FFP, then there is an extra £7,000,000 in the playing budget this season. Assuming that prior to this window we were still operating within the old budget, then £7,000,000 is the maximum amount available to invest in new players, including...

The 8 teams above us in the spending league all did so with the aid of parachute payments within the 5 year time frame.

Is £10,000,000 a season not already a big enough gamble? That is what Tony is currently subsidising the club with. How much does it have to be to guarantee promotion. He could spend the family silver on what he thinks is the Fernando Torres who was at Liverpool and get the Torres from Chelsea...

Regardless of how it is enforced, the principle of FFP is to protect football clubs and us supporters from rogue chairman like Peter Ridsdale who got greedy, spent more than the club could afford and turned a once big club into Leeds.

When the club forked out on Baldock and Hemed they did so believing they had bought a quality striker, maybe the did, time will tell . But just because a player costs many millions more than another, it doesn't guarantee he will be the quality striker we need. The world of football is littered...

Sensible stewardship means the club is being run well, within its or the chairmans means and adhering to FFP. The urgency you are advocating is another word for gambling with the clubs future by spending beyond its means. Great if all goes well as QPR proved when they bought promotion, but that...
