    A proper Charlie. Classless, swivel-eyed banker, but also a Britpop mastermind. Who knew?

    Elgin_Ram reacted to TuffLuff in QPR (H) Matchday Thread   
    Wrote after the fulham game that in the championship it’s about playing teams at the right time to accumulate points. I think that’s what QPR got with us tonight. We looked mentally leggy as the game went on after two tough games and battling for points. We ran out of ideas, ran out of quality and eventually ran out of luck.
    Morrison waits for a perfect ball rather than gambling on an imperfect. Look at that Forsyth cross at the end of the 1st half again, if he gambles he gets to it. 
    Had a chuckle at sky at the end calling it a vital 3 points for QPR who are now 7 points behind second place. There’s only one side who can truly call any points they get as vital!!

    Generous this from Louie,  when he's lost his place in the squad to him.
    I'm really pleased for young Liam, he's been playing great for the under 23s and fully deserved his start today. Workrate and heart was excellent. Never let his head drop.

    Already posted in the match thread, but the lad deserves the recognition of having a DCFC Fans Forum topic in his name, and for positive reasons.
    Like a new signing for us whilst under embargo. Frustrating he's had to wait so long to be eligible to play.
    When the dark clouds pass, if we can make it through without losing our young talent, the future is clearly bright.

    We settle the EFL points debacle and suddenly get a penalty.

    Looking forward to some actual football.
    We have nothing to lose at this point, Bournemouth are a great team, but there isn't time to show them respect and be cautious in our approach.
    Relegation is highly likely, however it's not completely impossible to overcome the points difference. 
    Until its mathematically over, the players need to play without fear and just go for it. Forget about the league table and play every game like it could be their last.

    Excellent pre-match interview with Wayne. He's very measured in everything he says, thoughtful, dignified and calm and quick to praise those he works with and you just know that the respect and loyalty is mutual. 
    I was glad to hear him speak about building a better relationship with the EFL and he spoke of them respectfully. Regardless of how he really feels about our eye-watering debts and the appalling way our club has been left, he just chooses his words carefully and professionally.
    I hope that in the future he cuts it as a premier manager, but for now I'm just so glad that he is with us. He gives me confidence to believe that all will eventually be well.
    I really hope for everyone's sake that tomorrow will be a good day!! COYR

    Personally I dont hold any a particular grudge against MM. He took on ownership of the Club, made some poor decisions sometimes based on bad advice. Had some really tough breaks with player injuries...Thorne, Hughes, Bryson, Bielik, then Covid....I just dont see the point in turning on him I really dont.

    There may be, but the admins have gone pretty quiet about the multiple bidders piece and thus far, we only know that Chris is happy to take a punt irrespective of sanctions / relegation. This might be simply because others are working under NDA but until Quantuma confirm as much and we get to see the cut of their jib, Chris remains in pole position in my mind.
    I don't really get this whole, 'he's too brash, too American' thing anyway. I think he was simply trying to have the craic with us fans and make sure we knew where his heart is. I'll not be issuing any character judgements based on such limited evidence anyway. He obviously took onboard the criticism in any case as he's dialled things down most recently. I take that as a positive thing, though I concede that others may take more persuading.

    If Tepper wants Derby, he'll have it. He's apparently worth more than Abramovic. Of all the names bandied about, only Michael Dell could outbid him. I'd love to think there's substance to the rumours, but where he's concerned, I've only seen Twatter conjecture, nothing solid.
    As for the other fella, he isn't a billionaire, nor need he be. I do wonder whether he knows some big fish are circling and is maybe trying to get out front and centre with the fans as a strategic move. He may also be fronting a consortium. FWIW, the comparisons to young Erik are pretty unfair. They are worlds apart!
    Also, and in fairness to folks who have mentioned his financial wherewithal, I think it's mostly been because of the Nixon 'billionaire' reference, not out of greed, perceived necessity or any sense of entitlement. Indeed, it seems to me that the overriding sense right now is one of relief that there are folk interested at all. Many on here assumed that nobody would touch the club, so it's something positive to hold onto, for the time being at least, amid all the doom and gloom.
