Are QPR a Pompey waiting to happen?

[trainspotting - karl.thornhill@gmail.com]

Samba is getting 100k a week, the vulture crouch another one who will be on big money. Heard that 12 players are making 50k or more at QPR, plus the amount they have spent on agent fees. small ground yes its in london but surely like pompey this is unsustainable?

This will be the 4th consecutive window that they've been the highest spenders in the PL.

It's totally unsustainable, especially when they kick off next season in the Championship

They'll only be the next Pompey if the people spending the money don't have the finnancial clout to back it up.

Harry up to his usual tricks I see.

or get bored pumping it in & fancy taking some of their 'investment' back out you mean.

Stadia of 18k, spending huge and paying huge wages to past it players on long contracts and they are still flirting with relegation.
They have a backer but they have liabilities they could never handle by themselves.

It's awful what's going on there, surely the fans are worried?

Redknapp is a virus to clubs.

It's amazing they haven't got rid of any of their deadweight players on huge wages.

Not really as it's almost impossible to get those not good enough players out when they are on a huge contract and they don't want to get a paycut. You'll have to pay them off if you want to get rid or get incredibly lucky.

In fairness to melted cheese face, it's not him who's signing the cheques.

This is panic buying on an extreme scale, as they know that they're absolutely ****ed in terms of recouping what they've already chucked in, if they fall off the gravy train come May.

Hughes spending was supposed to put them in contention for Europe, they've had to 'go again' to merely try & stay up.

The funniest part is that they're still highly likely to fail anyway, & old 'Arry will wander off back to Sandbanks, leaving Samba & his £100K per week well behind.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Daft thing is, you just know some other club will employ Redknapp in the future, just as Mark Hughes will have another job before long I suspect.

We can only hope so!

imagine if harry got every player hes linked with. would any clubs have any players left?

 

[JamesEFC]

I hate him, he'd have an army if he could

 

[Groucho]

It's possible - like Leeds did, spend up and then get off, leaving a club to go under.
