Off topic (lets consider a thought)

I think in reality a lot of clubs are run on a knife edge
And I agree the money and the greed from the premier league is ruining it for the lower leagues as clubs grow further apart from that so called top league
But as Bolton has shown,it doesn’t take long to get into financial trouble and we are also struggling money wise when you’ve been in the premier league
The premier league is a big step up and if you can’t stay in it you then become under pressure to get back in it
Stoke are in that situation right now

As fans we have no real say in who takes over our team and whether their motive is just money or whether they have a genuine interest in our clubs future.

Whilst we are fans for life a lot of the people who takeover clubs have little association and their goal is the pot of gold by getting to the Premiership or just to asset strip. I'm a QPR fan and if I had all the money in the world I wouldn't want to buy West Ham, what would be my motive if I did that?

Let's take Bury as an example, 15 years ago they were in Administration and struggling on average crowds of 4,000 before being rescued by Gary and Phil Nevilles family plus a chap called Mark Catlin. Caitlin later jumped ship and went off to help save Portsmouth.

By 2013 and still trying to survive on crowds of 4,000 Bury were facing a winding up petition when Stewart Day became Bury chairman.

This unknown property developer and Huddersfield fan proclaimed himself as a saviour and certainly put on a good show with the media – inviting press to the Carrington training facility (loaned from Manchester City), talking up plans for a new stadium and splashing cash on high-earners like Leon Clarke, James Vaughan and Jermain Beckford.

Fans were worried where the money was coming from, given that Day was mortgaging the ground with loans at astronomical interest rates (indeed, the club now owes an estimated £12 million and counting).

Then, out of the blue, it emerged that Day had sold the club for £1 in November 2018 to Steve Dale, known only as an asset-stripper. Meanwhile, Day had absconded the country just as his company was placed into administration, owing over £23 million. 

Anyone recognise the similarities?

To the fans their club is their life but to an owner it's a business that they expect to make money from.

They are a mess run by a bunch of clowns
This isn’t the last time it will happen either
Nobody is suddenly going to show up and say oh I’m going to buy bury at 11.59 tonight
It’s very complicated and too much to take on

Single is right - it would horrible for us all to see QPR defunct - but at times, it seemed we were close.
For me the problem lies solely with the people that buy these clubs, wasn't it Mike Ashley that said buying a club was a real version of the online game, 'football manager'. If that's the mentality then it's a massive problem.
I also have problems with running a club like a business. So many Americans buying clubs so they can make money with no real insight into how the game is played. If there is no human element to managing a club then community will also lose out.
What's worse is the massive divide between the Top Four and the rest of the clubs in England.

Fingers still crossed...

It is an absolute shambles that this was allowed to happen. I feel so sorry for the fans, imagine QPR suddenly not playing on a Saturday afternoon. Sad. Very sad.
