At least the season ticket price should come down, and it will make it easier to get away after full time, and the toilets won't be as busy. Every cloud....

Redknapp was forthright in front of TV cameras yesterday, saying of the club’s transfer policy: “If we don’t change it, and I don’t get the players that I want to bring in, then we have not got a chance.
“You can’t have other people having a say at all, I’m a football person and I’ve got a staff around me of football people.
“We’ve got to make the decisions, and if we make the right ones we will have a chance. Otherwise, if other people want to make decisions we’ve got no chance.
... the Board and the head of football operations are perfectly capable of making decisions without the coach, and will be.
Redknapp, who took over as boss in November but could not prevent the club’s slide into the Championship, wants former England international Wayne Bridge at the club – but has indicated that he is still some way from being able to complete the deal.
The move for Bridge, a free agent after a season at Brighton, has caused a massive rift behind the scenes at Loftus Road, report the Daily Mirror.
It is believed that QPR are keen to offload some of their expensive array of players before they start sanctioning further transfers – the club have spent lavishly in each of the last few transfer windows, and have a bloated squad.

“If I don’t get that, then I wouldn’t stick around.
“I’ll speak to Tony Fernandes. They’ve got to back me with the people I want.
“I’m not asking him to spend money, I’m looking at a couple of free transfers.
“I’m trying to get Wayne Bridge, I thought he did fantastically well with Brighton, he’d be a good left-back for us.
“He’s got great experience, looks in great shape and is a player I want to bring in on a free. I’m hoping that’s the first deal I can do.
“Tony is away, but I’ll speak to him and see if we can get the deal done.”

... not forgetting that players generally consider more than just the money when signing for a club, particularly high profile players. In that I mean for example, that a potential ex Prem player, or even overseas player, will look at the coaching setup and playing philosophy when considering a club. Our continuing state of flux will almost certainly put us on the back foot until we have a decision one way or another when players are deciding where to move to.In the meantime, the Board and the head of football operations are perfectly capable of making decisions without the coach, and will be.
I would be surprised if Redknapp going after him was a coincident, he is after the Brighton job.
After pledging to stick with QPR after they got sent down What a tosser that man is
He was interested in staying at qpr.....but then tony came calling!
So Harry has threatened to 'walk'...as long as it is NOT in our direction...I don't mind...just how many clubs can one man leave with financial problems....like Gus, they all want the club to spend billions because they can soak up the glory when they win titles...it's good for their ego and good for their CV...if they don't get the money they throw their toys out of the pram.Harry is being far more publicly outspoken and forthright than Gus ever was. The binfests following Gus's veiled threats sent NSC into meltdown, imagine if he'd come out with some of the comments being attributed to Harry at the moment.
Can't see TB jumping out of the frying pan into the fire by appointing Harry tbh.
Re the thread title, are there any links to Bridge rejecting QPR rather than QPR blocking the signing. There is a difference.
Rudderless ship? Sitting idle?
How do you know that?
Hopefully he will sign for us.

Two contrasting views of how football works. I'm with 'arry on this one.
Problem is Redknapp hasnt actually won anything aside from the FA cup
And the Championship with, you know, promotion to the Premier League. I'd take that.
