It has been quite a ride over the TF era. I have to thank him and his colleagues for keeping the club afloat and not loading us with huge debts like we've seen elsewhere. Although we can (and do) criticise the way the club has been run, I was never in fear that we'd go bust. My main concern now is who is in charge and what are their intentions. I hope we'll have better management but it could be a lot worse.

People mentioning Chris Wright was it at the end of his tenure when we were all putting cash in to buckets to keep afloat?

Things certainly don't look as bad as they did then and our current majority shareholder, while quiet (which is not necessarily a bad thing) seems to be happy paying to keep us a float and looks to still be engaged in the running of the club. Lets hope he stays that way inclined...

Agree with those sentiments. Hard to lose your father, and probably mentor too.

Bloomberg are reporting that the club has been pitching to possible new investors.

What investor would want to be shelling out hundreds of thousands each month to prop up a club that has been ruined by the current owners. I'd imagine that this is somebody at the club trying to offload TF's holding

I think this sounds ominous.

Les leaves, Tony gives up his shared and now this smells of the other owners losing interest/hope too. Eek.

Lack of decent transfer activity as well
It certainly doesn’t look good

But and a big but
We have a nice new training ground
Loftus road pitch has had a makeover

We have a lot of potential and we’re heading the right direction with Beale last season,it all suddenly went downhill and now we are in a total dire state
It’s amazing how downhill we’ve gone or was our good start to last season just masking the mess that was already there

I am not sure how the club is positioned in terms of its debts, but the training facility and the pitch are good assets for an investor to take into account. Despite its rich history as a club, its lowly position will appeal to those looking for a bargain. Kuwait or Qatar anyone..?

Out of interest, Birmingham have announced that Tom Brady of NFL fame has become an investor, along with a US-based group. His actual investment is not being revealed, and it may well be small, but he will be used to attract more US interest into Birmingham. Apparently US investors regard second-tier English clubs as a bargain to invest in! All sounds good for QPR in selling Tony Fernandes' shares, but of course we have seen how American investors have drawn money out of clubs - a la Glaziers....
