General 'Championship' Thread 2018 - 2021

Bright is slightly different in terms of the bid being turned down. I’m very hopeful of securing all of our young players. That’s what we want, players we look after and who are totally committed to the club. You want players who want to be here. You want players absolutely committed to improving themselves at QPR and taking the club forward. That’s what I want. What we can’t afford to do is have players sit there, run down their contracts, sign a pre-contract somewhere else in January, stroll through the last four or five months and then head off with a cigar on to pastures new and a bigger pay cheque. That’s not going to happen. It’s not right for QPR. Too many players have left here with no income for the club. It’s not going to happen. If players don’t want to commit to the club then I have to commit to players who are committed to it. Simple as that. I know Les and the team are doing fantastic work to secure a number of things, but if people don’t want to be here, no problem, but I’ll play people who do. That’s no disrespect, they’re all great guys, I’d like to have all of them here. But we have to be really clear, we cannot afford to have people swan through a final year and leave for nothing.
