Are QPR gonna spend billions in the summer? They can have the richest owners in the world all they want, if they're not gonna spend BIG

I hope not. We've lost ground to 2 or 3 teams in the past 2 seasons. I don't think I could handle being behind QPR.
 
You really don't know much Nik, Burnley were for many years one of the big clubs in the country, awash with cash.
You say Leicester, well up until they moved to their new ground they were in a little shoit hole called filbert st.(22,000)
Leeds were a 2nd div club for years before getting up and then winning the league, which then saw them chase the pot of gold and go back down broke.
Notts Forest are just scab supporters that don't deserve any joy.

Big crowds or ability to pull them is no criteria for prem status and never should be, the prem doesn't award licenses or franchises that allow teams to participate, it's a straight promotion relegation issue, and teams that manage to maintain their status with small crowds are actually achieving quite a lot in doing so due to lower incomes from gates.

Been in Goodison plenty of times and it been less than half full, and that when champions as well.
 
I'm not arsed. Blackpool v QPR in the premier league. Its just wrong. And dont evenget me started on the prospect of Swansea or Cardiff in there. Rangers and Celtic arn't allowed. Why should they? As I say I'm not saying they HAVE to have big shiny stadiums. But 16,000 at a PL match? Come on... There are certain teams I'd love to have back up there, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Leicester etc etc Dont get me wrong I'm not saying there should be a strict criteria on clubs coming up, at the end of the day if they've been promoted they deserve it. But I can sure as hell moan about it. Remember Burnley v Wigan in the top flight of English football? O dear lord... The championship looks more like the premier league sometimes.


I know im welsh NIK but this wont be a biased view as I couldnt care less about the welsh teams, but I can guarantee that if any of the welsh teams got promoted they would have more than 16,000 there, they have massive potential thats why they both got a bit of investment and new stadiums because the potential for a huge fan base is there, its big now if they went up they would gain even more fans.

Personally cant stand Cardiff, but Swansea play decent footie so good luck to them.
