Commonsense 802 Posted July 12, 2021 I was thinking the same. No they are not a massive club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 3,083 Posted July 12, 2021 This is another one of those something of nothing posts. When any player signs for any club they all say something along these lines. "Great club", "big club", "massive club", "club with a great history". I really, really, really want a player to completely throw everyone and say "Ok folks, going to be totally honest innit. I signed because the chairman offered me so much wonga I couldn't turn it down. I hadn't heard of QPR - Queens Power Rangers before, but hell, for that sort of money I'll get it tattooed on me thigh!" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeemuVanBasten 3,328 Posted July 12, 2021 Its a massive club for somebody who is 20 and trying to make their way in the game I'd argue. When looking at the 92 + 24 in National League Premier, they are clearly a top third or maybe top quarter club in English football? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,789 Posted July 13, 2021 20 years old and still being loaned out ? Would he have stayed if we were still in the Championship? Will he ever make it ? There’s a few more threads there I reckon CC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted July 13, 2021 28 minutes ago, Graham Paddons Beard said: 20 years old and still being loaned out ? Doesn't necessarily mean much, as two of England's five full backs at the Euros were still on loan in the Championship when they were 20 or beyond, as were others such as Mount and White (he was in League Two at 20, in fact). Plus a few others were contracted to Championship clubs in their early 20s, like Maguire, Mings, Grealish and Phillips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upo 91 Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Did you hear Billy Gilmour who is 20 already was just loaned from Chelsea to some upstart club and said polite things about it. Somebody should make a thread and laugh at him and that club...Narwick Village was it?

Oh. Nobody tell Uncle Fred In terms of owners - they were the richest club on the planet - a strange fact. In terms of owners giving them cash... not so much..

A Load of Squit 6,260 Posted July 13, 2021 In one of those 'Player X's First Day' videos that the club put out there's one where (can't remember which player it is) the media guy is giving the player a line by line statement that the player is repeating into the camera. I wouldn't worry too much about what a player says when they sign, it's a very stage managed process.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greavsy 2,645 Posted July 13, 2021 2 members of my family both support QPR, due to being born in the area, so I do follow them. They had a decent run towards the end of last season. Something was building there. Not sure of their commings and going this season, but if they have kept most players they could be sniffing about the play off places or there abouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 3,083 Posted July 13, 2021 The interesting thing for me is how much of his fee have we now made back in loan fees? Plus his wages couldn't be huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those things ticking away in the background is one of the things we do well. The idea of a loans manager seemed a bit ott at the time, I dont think that anymore. Anyone got any details of the finances that are put through the loans manager....does he make us money , or minimise losses? Genuinely interested if anybody knows.
