Indeed... it was like one of those house auction bids you make on a house you'd love to buy but you know the price is going to go much higher so you bid early anyway! £4.0 million scratchchin
I don't think we're short of a few quid now biggrin
Maybe not but it was the bid I was laughing at. biglaugh

Watch QPR try to panic-buy their way to survival and still crash and burn.
The harder they come....

You always start with a low bid though, why would you offer too much or what they wanted, it's like buying a car, haggle my son!

We might well go down this season, we but at least we're run as a sustainable business, rather than having a sugar daddy. Teams like Stoke and West Brom have shown its possible to sustain Premiership football without the aid of a some dodgy billionaire. We have a solid fanbase that has repeatedly sold out the ground every game for the last 4 - 5 years, we have an owner who cares about the club and supports the club (we weren't 3rd choice for Delia wink ) we have a great set of young and up coming players mixed with a few experienced heads who are up for a fight and we're led by one of the most promising managers in the country.

Good luck for the rest of the season, and the rest of the transfer window, i think after the shambles that was Bolton Wanderers at home, you guys know the next 12 days are crucial for your club.

I think we'll both be near the bottom in all fairness, we really needed at least a point against Bolton, it was indeed a shambles, we are in dire need of some defensive quality and a few midfielders, watch this space smile

Well, I'm over the moon Fernandes has taken over, coupled with Bhatia it makes for a very promising solid future with excellent prospects, hopefully Fernandes won't need to go and stand on the pitch at half time shouting 'let's be having you' to get our boys going! biggrin

I can see Norwich being the draw specialists this year, that might be enough to keep you up, I always had a soft spot for Norwich due to my old football sticker albums, I loved their badge!

Good luck with it all - here's to a good bit of banter and some half decent results!

Oh and looks like Shaun Wright Philips is on his way to us smile

Do you reckon Mittal or whatever his name is, the 33% guy, is he gonna put his hands in pockets a bit more?

Amit Bhatia, well I hope so - but I think Fernandes will want to stamp his mark on the club quite quickly.

It's nice turnaround for us, from nearly going into administration to having some owners who want to see the club thrive, rather than those complete tools Briatore and Ecclestone who were just to$$ers, I hope a new ground will be in their thoughts too as LR is, although a nice little ground, a bit too little and a nightmare to get parked!

I am not sure Fernandes is a QPR supporter. Didn't he declare himself to be a lifelong supporter of the West Ham? Funny that; Warnock seethes at just the mention of claret & blue and now he's got a chairman who's a Hammers fan biglaugh

How long till he lamps Adel though? hehe

Lost out on £500 because of you and the Swans last night. Doh!

Edit- Good news that your new owners have offered refunds for the high priced season tickets, and also dropped prices for match day tickets. Good move!
