Impossible to deal with

[David Strover]

Isn't slagging off our club and members of it a job for opposition supporters?

My view was also that QPR wanted to chuck in Gorkks as part of the Puncheon deal. Judging by other players that we have bought, Gorkks doesn't fit the mould. He's 29 and, whilst not old, typically we've only spent money on players that are less than 25 and have a resale value. Couple this up with the fact that the previous QPR board seemed allergic to spending money and you have Warnock tryiong to do his wheeler dealer bit to get a player in that he really wanted. Now that they have money to spend, my bet is that he's not interested in JP any more (SWP seems to be the main target).

 

So how come Gorkiss passed a medical after being offered terms

Blimey, have you been in a coma for the last 20 years?

Where was that reported as fact then? I must have missed that.

When Cortese attempted to take on the media with his ban on photographers I could totally see the logic. He wanted to control distribution and generate revenue from them. Coming at it from that angle it made total sense to open up a new revenue stream.

 

However, what Cortese didn't bank [sic] on was the media standing firm together and closing ranks on us. They "hardballed" us back, refused to buy the pictures and went on the offensive in their papers, and quite rightly highlighted that club sponsors and advertisers were being denied much needed publicity.

In retrospect, I think Cortese's stand was quite right.

 

Press men / Photogs, I assume, get special treatment and ...free tickets ?...

 

They get loads of good shots which are used by their employers to sell their product. (newspapers). Saints income = £ NIL.

 

We provide the entertainment, and they get the profit.
