Legod Second Coming

That's because he didn't cut it at right back.

Oh come, come Alps, I've not met a wealthy banker-cum-farmer-cum-football chairman yet who didn't silence his critics. Some I know have used a little more persuasion than compromise agreements too...

Magnificent. But sadly, the gaols are full of old ladies who can't pay their council tax because they're fuel and food bills have gone up by 40%... But let's not get started on the only leadership worse than Rupert Lowe...

My guess is because he's: a) adult b) professional c) has a compromise agreement preventing him so doing. Ah, but I forgot, in 'Alpine-ville' (unlike planet earth) footballers act irrationally and football chairmen ask bank manages to fund a 3-goal-a-season striker to save them from the big bad relegation and administration monsters...

Cheer up DD you miserable sod.

Good manners cost nothi... Pah, why am I bothering to tell you?? You nasty little troll...

Whether he wrote it or not, he was sold and/or asked to be sold. He came, did a good job, showed what playing should be about and should go with our blessing. Unlike the cuckold Phillips, nasty little man.

Depends how you define the wealth of a football club doesn't it. Between them Bernie, Flavio and Mittal make Abramovic look like a man who's won a tenner on the lottery!!

LMAO. You sir are in marketing, no question...

Err no QPR are. FACT.

No. I think we're playing the richest club in Britain in a fortnight...

We are 3 points behind the richest club in Britain. Which tells you everything you need to know about the lunacy of extrapolating a season's performance from two league games...

Which is exactly what the current Chairman is attempting to do without Administration? So given that it is a last resort, will cost jobs, will cost us at best 10 points, will result in massive upheaval for the team/club and all those associated with it and has absolutely NO guarantee of removing one single board member, remind my why you recommend this course?

No, we're in the last gasp saloon...

Well, they're not physically of course, but you get the point... Whomever we want to select, we now have little choice if a bid is received...

Barclays Bank are. Delighted to correct any misconceptions.

Thanks for the education. Having run a limited company placed into administration by its plc board, would you like to know how it really works?? Would you like to meet the directors and see their Ferraris bought shortly before the administration was announced? Of a company they now effectively own again?? Or meet the guy who worked for 24 years and now has no pension? Or meet the guy I gave £200 to from my own pocket to pay his rent?? The Adminsitrator has NO obligation to ensure the 'best' people buy the business - and since the incumbent management know everything about the business they nearly always have the best chance to buy it (if they have the finance). Administrators don't want to run companies for a year while someone finds the finance, completes due diligence, etc. Think about it. Who wouldn't do what was easiest/quickest and (thereby) claim they had sold the business as a going concern with minimum disruption to the business. And maybe they're right so to do. I wish people would understand what Administration means to a business before they bandy the idea around with such nonchalence. And if I sound angry about this, I am. Want to donate to the 63 year old carpenter who is having to stack shelves in Tesco to pay for his fecking retirement? Thought not...

Last year you could see after ONE home game that Alpine was right. We lacked the basics at the back. We were torn apart by one of the worst teams in the league whose manager was SACKED about a month after beating us 4-1... This year we played really well in our only home game and were undone by some sloppiness, a poor miss from our 'best striker' a great save from Maik Taylor. The two seasons are incomporable. A shame so few people have seen it.

You know the answer.

Spoken like someone who didn't see the game...

And Marco, when Administrators sell business assets and businesses, do you know whom the most likely buyers are... So in fact, you will have strenghted Lowe's hold on the club which he will now PRIVATELY own. And we are better off how exactly?

No you twonk, as you well know. But I wondered what I could do as a simple fan to help us survive and the only constructive thing I could come up with was going to more games and injecting my cash and effort into the club as and when I could feasibly afford. I would even go so far as buying a debenture if that was an idea to stave off adminsitration (and no I can't afford it). Your preferred method is what, exactly?? Sitting on the sidelines and taking the **** out of people who are at least making an effort? Denegrating a team you have not seen? Criticisng players and the manager from afar as though that will help build the confidence and morale required to ride out this period?? Dragging down your fellow fans... Tell me, if it was a ****ing contest, what evidence do you have that your shoes are not soaked?? No one denies we are in the sh!t. But your proposition to solve the problem is to dump the staff on the dole. Spoken like someone who has clearly NOT been through Administration. When you have come back and tell us why it's the best option. Oh no, I forgot, you're an expert on things you haven't experienced personally, my mistake...

Not guilty, anywhere. And it is a fact that 10k more people is at least £200k into the coffers. If that is too much for some to stomach, then fine. But when the question is asked, what did you do to help the club through its toughest time, I will have a clear conscience. And I'm sick and tired of this backward looking aproach to our predicament. Yes. Lowe oversaw relegation, the plonker. He did then spend £90k on players - not £7million that has seen us hasten a path towards oblivion. So at least his track record of prudence is TOTALLY appropriate to the circumstances as they are. It is just so convenient now we are playing Marcus Bent and not Didier Drogba for people to sit at home and blame the board...

But you were prepared to prop up his wealth in Cardiff in 2003, how convenient... I don't want to contribute a cent to the to55er, but neither will I stand idly by while my kids are deprived their future.

And that took place before the league rule changes on administration...
