"Identity Crisis Puts QPR On Road To Hell" a brilliant Paul Hayward article 13:25 - Sep 17 with 3069 viewsShotKneesHoop

A very comprehensive investigation to the cause of QPR's woes is in today's Telegraph, written by a reporter who travelled from London to watch the Manure game on same the train with QPR supporters. I can't scan it, maybe some else can, and stick it up here for everyone to read.

Key sentence is "Tony Fernandes, the club's majority shareholder, is said to be worth £500 million. and the Mittal family, who own a third of the shares, can lay claim to £14 billion, but their intentions have never been clear"

I think that sums it up, QPR is a play thing to them and they reckon thowing money at any problem will fix everything.

A whole page on QPR in a serious newspaper, and when you finish reading it, you know just how far up shit creek we are, and what a bloody long paddle it's gong to be to get back to seeing something we recognise as ours.

Saw the story this morning. Most QPR fans will disagree or find fault with a fair bit, a significant amount of non QPR fans will lap it up... Everything wrong with football Rangers!

No change there then. I will review this article again next April.

Hopefully by then, SWP will have become either the Telegraph senior football correspondent or he's in the finals of Strictly Come Dancing with Jimmy Crankie as his partner.

There is such a thing as irony. It's how you put a crease in a shirt.

And the same thing in video format is on the BBC Sport website right now. I wonder, does Hughes have his PR machine working overtime this week to suggest all our troubles run deeper than his nasty tenure? Timing of all this seems rather weird.

Don't think it's a Qpr is a play thing, but we are only part of their much wider plan to make in-roads into London.


This.

We are far from a play thing, we are a vehicle to bigger riches, a bigger plan, and the ultimate goal is not football related as far I see it.

Some folks say 'why do you need the club involved to achieve this level of redevelopment?'.

I think its pretty clear that having a football club involved (especially a premier league club) in the move gives you sway with the council, locals etc.

Our identity was lost a long time ago, but these lot will change the club more than any previous board, and the good of the club (what's right for us, the fans, and the club as an entity, not its 'success') are a secondary factor.

IMHO.

Spot on, Nathan NI

I find it very hard to identify with anythings that goes on at QPR these days, apart from the ingrained ability to keep shooting themselves in the foot at every opportunity.

Take the worst possible scenario for any point of interest; exaggerate; draw the most serious possibilities and, voila, you have an article giving a view of our club which few of our fans recognize. It might appeal to the other 19 clubs and their armchair fans.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime. (Mark Twain) Find me on twitter @derbyhoop
