Well we all know Hoos was looking for a way out of being CEO, fortunately the bloke who was hired to recruit for the role said, "oh actually I can do it if you want?".

Does anyone know what Hoos is actually doing as Chairman?


The Board of Directors as disclosed in the latest accounts are
A Bhatia
R Gnanalingam
R Reilly
L Hoos

In the previous year’s accounts, before Hoos took up the full time Chairman role – he was appointed in Nov 2023, the cost disclosed in the accounts for Directors remuneration was £12k (zero in the year before that).

This year the Directors remuneration was £136k. It is a fair assumption this cost relates to Hoos position, unless one of the other three are drawing a salary which seems unlikely.

I'm sure there's more than Kewall and Viduka, but I'm struggling to think of Australians who've really cut it in the English game. Was there a keeper for Fulham/Boro, might have been a Yank.

I will take some convincing that its easier to teach football skills to an athlete (Usain Bolt) compared to getting a skillful, but tubby kid, fit (Gazza). Said before I can only think of one fit kid turned into a footballer, and even then that was Sly Stallone in 'Escape to Victory'.

I'll be amazed and surprised if the Aussie Athlete plan actually works.


Craig Johnston was a Strayan.

Although born in South Africa, and played for England U-21.

But he grew up in Australia and played his youth football there

Also been some highly inflated figures for Armstrong and Dykes doing the rounds with the cigar memes. We got a couple of million for the pair of them.

Interestingly, there are quite a few of the anonymous, most prolific QPR X accounts quickly telling all that - actually - these are really pretty good accounts.

So according to you, our chairman is happy to brief against his own CEO to someone (does anyone on here know you personally?) who he knows will post this information on one of the most popular QPR fans' message boards.

IF this is true, it casts Hoos in a really bad light. It also indicates that there is deep discontent at the highest level with CN... yet IF, according to you/him: 'you don't appoint people in their mid 20s to executive positions based upon their well connected parents’ black books', who appointed him in the first place, if not Hoos and the board?


didnt it cast Hoos in a bad light when he was slagging the previous coach to anyone close by last season though ? or is it different because its nourry getting the aleged coating off by hoos ?

If he is briefing against Nourry It's not a good look for Hoos, very much all about self preservation as would I be if that salary is right

At least three now telling us how solid these are in the context of...not sure actually.

Interesting that though we are 14th for wages, Millwall, Coventry and Preston all pay less in wages.

Q&A quote - "this is our first sticky spell with injuries"

Introduction to the club accounts released today - "Hampered by injuries, the non-availability of players affected the performance of the team throughout the season".


Is it looking at the seasons independently?
So, this is the first sticky spell of 25/26?

Because I'm 100% sure we had a sticky spell in 24/25 as well, which is why we've got so many people with performance in their job title now

Indeed, just £1.8m for the pair it would appear from these accounts. Not the £1m for Dykes and £2.5m for Armstrong with 25% to Shamrock as was reported.

This sort of thing shouldn't go unchecked, although in today's climate, appreciate how people just accept it.

These are either fake accounts and are run by people at the club pushing their own agenda. Or they are fan accounts being fed information by the club. If the latter, they may think they're important, and part of the club in some way as a result, but they are being used, just like how QBlock Pete and some on Fantasy Island were used by Paladini all those years back. It's history repeating.

Losing £20m in a season is not good.
Spending a net £14m on transfer fees in and out in two years, and standing still in the league and cup from it, for a club of our size, is not good. (Appreciate we could still go on a good run and progress into the top half/top 10, but it doesn't seem likely at present due to injuries).

Who wants that level or loss and that stagnation whilst spending? Who can be happy with that?

Financially, this season feels, to me, somewhat similar to the Warburton gamble season. That season and the failure to sell big in the summer Beale came in, ultimately led to heavy cost cutting season of Ainsworth/Cifuentes season the year after, when we had one of our weakest squads in decades (Gubbins and Fox at centre half to start the season).

We cannot make the same mistake again, and not bring in a notable net transfer income this summer. It'll mean another lost couple of seasons belt tightening and trying to survive.

IF we sell this summer, stay above water, it might mean the following summer, ahead of the 27/28 season, you get a big price for an Edwards, Kone, Burrell, and can reinvest at a net neutral position strengthening loads of areas of the team, have a real tilt at the play offs. That's the approach. Obviously, if none of the big gambles come in and we can't sell anyone for serious dough by the summer of 2027, we're f*cked anyway. Hypothetically, that would have been 3.5 years of a player trading model without making a profit from player trading to drive reinvestment and improved competitiveness.

We have to sell well this summer.

Accounts aren't my thing but everything you have outlined sounds convincing to me.

As an aside the PL is moving away from PSR next season:

Does anyone know if this is coming to the EFL and what it might mean for us going forward if the rules do change?
