QPR and Harry spending lol

[OldNick]

Reported today that QPR may face a £60m fine due to the financial fair play rules. Good old Harry, I wonder if he will get an intro commission lol How many clubs has he left in financial turmoil now?

[Batman]

not his fault, guv. He had no idea how much Samba would cost

[Window Cleaner]

Samba was sold for nigh on as much as he cost, you need to look at Hughes signings to understand the case. Harry has had a good old clear-out and QPR are far better for it.

[The Kraken]

"If Harry Redknapp’s side are promoted back to the Premier League this season then the fine will be levied in 2015. If they fail to make promotion, however, then the fine could be postponed but they would be hit with a transfer embargo."

 

So, basically, the new rules still don't really do enough to deter mammoth over-spending. Getting into huge debt in an effort to get to the Premier League is still a gamble worth taking for the uber-rich.

Samba was on 100k a week, Caesar the keeper 90k pw , Park Jim Sung 70k pw and Jenas is on 50k pw ffs. Whilst they have got rid of 11 players they have signed 8 shiny new ones. Apparently their wage bill in the relegation season was over 90m with income at 65m!!!

Nothing to do with a chairman that sanctioned over zealous spending under 3 different managers then ?

 

He has made decent progress in the NPC, clearing a lot of deadwood and building a younger more conpetetive team. I wish him well considering the massive mistake he made going there in the first place

. I agree the chairman has been pretty foolish but HR has also bought in plenty of players who will be on massive wages. It is not just the transfer fee. Jeans on 50k a week,Haim and Samba ,Austin, and others would be on massive salaries, so he is part of it yet again. When he was at Saints RL would not let him spend and so he was shown up. The squad he inherited when he came to us should have stayed up easily, HR was unable to get them to play, he needs to buy plenty of players in the hope some come good. If he fails to get QPR up this season it will be a major surprise as he has a very good squad to choose from.

Went to tescos yesterday and looked at the books . There was redkrapps book . Had a quick open the book and it's full of brown envelopes and the preface is written by a dog . Great selling ploy arry

A couple of weeks ago a senior figure at QPR told me they have to go up this season or they are in big trouble Financially, he also said 'there is never a dull moment with him (Redknapp)' and rolled his eyes, I knew what he was getting at.

[Smirking_Saint]

Yeah, I have no ill feelings towards him. He is a bit dodgy yeah but overall not that bothered. The way some of us seem to pawn over everything he does is pretty pathetic IMO

He does take the **** but ultimately it is the reigns on him held by the chairman. He is only required to fulfill his contract the same as any manager and if the purse strings are released by TF they woe for them. Lowe held them closed rightly or wrongly, personally I think we were down anyway but Lowe didnt help. My blame lays firmly in Lowes lap nobody elses as I have intimate details of everything more or less that went on in the Lowe era and he was no saint when it came to brown envelopes.

 

HR is a decent enough manager, QPR would never have stayed up, too much infighting and internal strife. Thats why he made a mistake. I agree though that he now has a very talented squad in the championship and needs them to get promoted or else its a failure.

That's not how it works pal, you have to hate him and say he's a terrible clueless manager.

Similarly I spoke to someone who works within Crystal Palace. In a meeting with Steve Parrish, he said that he has never worked somewhere where someone can suddenly approach him and say 'oh by the way I need another half million for XYZ'. The first thing they did at Palace was cut that out - there is a budget and not a bottomless pit.

 

Can you imagine someone like Redknapp working there? "Yeah I know there's a budget Steve but I need another £12m in cash for Chris Samba, he's triffic, and he'll need £100k in wages a week."

 

It didn't do Palace any harm. Living within their means they went from administration to promotion within a few years.

Was it in the "fiction" section?

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has rubbished suggestions the club could be hit with a fine totalling around £60m follows reports in Mail on Sun

[rooney]

Rednapp just cannot stop spending. Its in his genes.

[Kenilworthy]

Had a quick flick through Arry's book in Waterstones. He tells us that when he joined Saints we were 18th in the table, 2 points ahead of the team in bottom place. No mention that we were just 1 point behind the team in 17th position. Or that he only needed to improve our league position by 1 place with well over half the season left to play in order to keep us up. No, listen to Arry and we were 'cut adrift'.

[Dr Who?]

Perhaps he should open it up to Twitter?

[krissyboy31]

Everybody is forgetting that nothing is ever Redkrapp's fault!

[Lord Duckhunter]

Anyone thinks QPR are heading the way of the skates is wrong. Their chairman is seriously loaded and The Mittels still own a stake and they make RA at Chelsea look like a pauper. They are not tin pot wannabes without a pot to pee in like the assorted jokers in skatesville. You could drive a coach and horses through the financial fair play rules, qpr will keep on spending till they're promoted. Whether with twitchy or some other mug they'll be back up before the parachute money runs out, no worries.

Don't understand this. When he was here he spent 90k on Fuller, and that was it I think. Can't say he went overboard with us and look where we ended up.

He spent more than that for a start (£2m on Quashie etc) but not to excess, because we had a Chairman that wouldn't let him do his usual and he hated it.

 

We "ended up" where we did because of Wilde/Burley spendng all the family silver on a tilt at promotion that we blew. And our response to being skint was Poortvliet.

 

Apart from getting us relegated of course (when we should never have gone down) we can't blame HR for all our subsequent ills.

Wasn't he on loan? Thought it was just Fuller who he actually bought

No he wasn't and no he wasn't.

[Saint Garrett]

He also broke our wage structure with Bernard who was so bad it was embarrassing. Sure there was a few others who he brought in on £££££

A new revelation re Lowe, care to expand on it ?

 

Personally,at the time, I thought Lowe was correct to reign HR in and not allow him to spend,spend, spend.

Agree, in truth Redcrapp's appointment should never have been necessary.

There's a poster for the Redknapp book in the window of my local Smiths with a sticker across the book saying "Half Price". Any thoughts on a more accurate sticker?
