Was hoping they would lose, but they held on and were clinical enough to take their chance when it came.
QPR’s team had more than 4,000 Premier League games under their belt, while Derby had less than 200.
I wouldn’t call it luck.
You’re right, it wasn’t luck – just look at the players they had at their disposal. Now this brings another slant on how they have played (cough) their way through the championship – I am no accountant, however, if one were to look at QPRs financial outlay over the past 12 months or so I am sure they wouldn’t pass the criteria/due dilligence set out by the ‘financial fair play system’. The owner and Redknapp have flagrantly abused the system. Better teams than QPR (and I include ourselves here) deserve to be in the Premiership before these spendthrifts. How they have been allowed to get away with it beggars belief – oh hang on, it’s our ‘Good ‘ol Arry innit’.[/quote]
They haven’t got away with it though, have they? They are about to be hit with a £50m fine. I know that’s no consolation to Derby or anyone else, but the FFP rules had to have some time to kick in and it looks as if they, like City, are being pulled up at the earliest opportunity – as far as the rules allow.
And, as I think Tyldesley has said, it’s the owners who sign the cheques, not Harry![/quote]
But they have ‘got away with it’. They have maneuvered themselves into the Prem by flagrantly breaking the FFP rules – the fine is neither here nor there to the owners. They are there because, in effect, they have cheated – cheated other teams who have stuck to the rules and have not been able to match their spending power. The fine will be paid but QPR will still get the world wide exposure that comes from being in the Prem (and the side business that comes with it). Now if they were to be deducted, say 20, points then that would be a real deterrent to others thinking that they too could get away with it – just my opinion like.
Oh! and the owners might sign the cheques but they don’t pick the players to sign do they, that’s Redknaps job.[/quote]
I do generally agree with you, but the problem as I see it is that rules had to start from a base point and because of the way that accounts are prepared there was always the possibility that a club could take that gamble until the first checkpoint. I think a £50m fine is a fair old punishment, well deserved mind you.
I like your idea about the points deduction. I’m no lawyer but I reckon that part of the problem might be the fact that the FL and PL are different competitions/organisations which might muddy the waters on points deductions.
And whilst Harry picked the players, nobody forced the owners to write the cheques. As much as I don’t like him, I can’t see that he personally has done too much ;)

Derby hopefully.Can’t stand Redknapp or Barton for that matter and hopefully their financial issues will hit them next year.
Agree with that. And I think Derby will do it, too
Bit of an opposite to your article now I think about it!!That’s what I did with Tainted Love, to be fair.
if you pay by direct debit further charges might be put on , due to wafc putting this choice into the hands of a private company
unlike before there will be credit checks and decision made by them and not wigan athletic
so expect extra charges if you do it that wayIt has always cost more to pay by direct debit, hasn’t it? That’s just standard practice
My, my you really are an angry bully aren’t you, I don’t like bullies, never have, especially ones who think they rule the roost on public forums, and as long as those bullies continue with their nasty, vindictive putdowns I will continue To “interact” with them.I’m not bullying, I just really, really don’t like you.
Even though you think you own this site, I will let you into a little secret, YOU DON’TThere really is only you that actually thinks that. I couldn’t give a flyer one way or the other about this site. The fact that I have made a ridiculously large number of posts over the years on here is no indictaor that I am obsessed with it. I have many better things going on in my life than this site. You, on the other hand clearly don’t. But hey ho, knock yourself out
BTW if you want to come back at me with another witty, humourous retort, I suggest you get on the phone to your mate Standish as he seems to be the creative contributor no anything half decent penned by you.a) I pesume you meant ‘on’ not ‘no’ – how appropriate that you got it backward.
b) you do realise that that whole thing is a complete contribution, right? How could he contribute to anything penned by me?

So, how does “fuck off, you lunatic, dull, senile old twat” grab you?
Now stop interacting with me, I have no interest in conversing with you at all. Nice to see, however, that you’re stil obsessed with my writing. A lot of people actually tell me that they like to read my stuff. I guess those that don’t, just ignore it. And that’s fine, there is plenty room in the world for all types – even complete pricks like you, sadly.
What stadiums would you like to have gone to, that you never did, and now never can

3. The Nest, Norwich (if you don’t know about this ground, Google it)
4. The (old) Den
5. Ayresome Park
6. Ninian Park
7. The VetchI went to Ninian Park in 1982 – to see the Pope :ohmy:[/quote]
With your fucking ego, I am surprised you didn’t demand he come to Stubshaw/Hindley to see you.[/quote]
He was all up for it, but said he didn’t want to risk bumping into that lunatic boring twat, Loudmouthblue.

Incidentally, Boca fans refer to River Plate supporters as gallinas (chickens). Who might qualify for that name nearer home?Errr, Hendon? :dry:
That’s probably because it had the shit kicked out of it in Stuart Hayton’s back garden.
Name dropping again Griff?[/quote]
Not as often as Stuart dropped that trophy.
If I was going to name drop, I’d pick a decent one ;)
