'e just can't 'elp 'imself. I'm really looking forward to seeing images focusing in on QPR's owner if/when things go wrong over the rest of the season.

They are down to the bare bones though.

Yes, I see his problem. All the tin pot clubs have budgeted and muddled through when injuries occur. But Arry is a PROPER manager, and as such really shouldn't be expected to think about his striker problem until his main championship standard (£4-5m) striker gets injured. Only then should he look at his other two contracted £30k a week strikers, decide they're not good enough, and then bring four other strikers in.
Well done Arry. You've played a blinder here, and you have my deepest sympathies at such rotten luck.
They should introduce some kind of fairness system that measures the financial happenings at the clubs to ensure they don't spend wildly and make it unfair on other clubs. I'm not sure what they'd call it but if introduced I'm sure it would be strictly regulated and those clubs adhering to said financial fairness system would be rewarded with a more even keel in the league. I'm just thinking outside the box.

We will be once they get a call about what they owe for FFP.
They've got plenty of cash from the parachute payments, so probably not doing as badly as we'd suspect.
Nothing will come of it. They'll get promoted and automatically receive a huge cash injection which will offset all the ridiculous spending in the Championship this year. Add that to the parachute payments from their time with the big boys and hoping for FFP comeuppance is a waste of time. I'd love to see them get shafted with it though.

They're heading to make a loss of around 40m, even with the Parachute Payments.
Well, yes. BUT, once he took the job, you'd have thought he'd assess his squad, write off who he needed to write off (treat it as a "bonus" if he gets anything from BZ/AJ) and then carefully bolster the right parts of the squad with the approved budget.
Instead, he just gets linked to every expensive triffic lad looking for a move, and takes half of them if "we can get a deal done there". No matter that he is now paying £1m a week for 33 different midfielders. The bloke is a spiv, and an arse, and a bang ordinary manager.
Seriously? How can they achieve that (and I say achieve, as that can't be easy)?
I thought Doyle was going to Boro.

Their wage bill last year was something like 80-90m. They've not got rid of enough of the high earners and have apparently still got players on 5m a year contracts.

ps No doubt the incoming trio will all be triffick lads, with triffick attitudes...
