I get what you're saying but with all due respect I'm not sure it makes sense. Hoos is merely an employee. He takes direction from the owners therefore I can't see a scenario where the owners were in favour but Hoos rallied against.
In any event, we can speculate until the cows come home. The bottom line is any planned investment is welcome news. In the words of Ice Cube, today was a good day. |

Sounds odd given MC is 6ft 1" but I think he's too short to be a top notch keeper.
Barnsley are reportedly plotting a loan move for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman. He's 6ft 4".
I'd go with Hamer and Walsh for the remainder of the season. |

I'm guessing that the Swansea fans held Joe Allen responsible rather than marvelled at Adel's skill.
You do realise that it's ok to constructively criticise a mistake? That doesn't mean folk are looking for scapegoats or someone to burn at the stake.
Dunne had a great game against West Ham. He made only 2 mistakes both of which were ruthlessly punished.
Nevertheless, I for one am pleased as punch he's still ours and would love a few more like him in our team. |

I couldn't care less what you think is unfair. He was race baiting and I wasn't the only one to notice it. If you didn't register it then perhaps you need to wake up.
You're also not registering the fact that his (and your) argument is factually incorrect. Field and Smyth get as much if not more criticism than Varane.
It was only a few short weeks ago that the club made an official statement condemning online abuse aimed at Paul. Meanwhile, Varane has his own song. |

IMHO Dave Mac was also race baiting. A very odd thing to say indeed. |

Top class save. Looking at that it's hard to believe he's 43. Soon he'll be eligible to play for QPR. |

Folk like you have earned it and deserve it. I have no qualms about paying taxes to ensure you continue to enjoy it. The problem is there are many who didn't earn it but are entitled just the same. |

No, thank you. It would be so QPR to replace a keeper who doesn't come for crosses with one who runs to the half way line. |

Just for once can we embrace good news rather than embark on a forensic investigation of who said what back when. It was a different time, with different ownership model, and different board with different aims. |

Good news. Building solid foundations is important for the future sustainability of the club. Investment in infrastructure is also exempt from P&S/FFP so it makes complete sense. |

I'd like to see it as I do believe asking Kone to play a bit deeper takes a little bit of edge from his game. However, we may well see Kolli being asked to deputise in Burrell's role. |

You were race baiting not abusing. The subtle implication was Varane receives a disproportionate level of criticism compared to 3 other footballers you named (who happen to be white and one of whom, weirdly, is Vinnie Jones). Not only is this racial dog whistling but it's factually incorrect.
Varane gets a lot of love, borne out by the fact he has his own song. Any criticism that he's received from some quarters is simply down to his poor performances this season and nothing to do whatsoever with his already retired half brother or his race.
Sam Field and Paul Smyth have also received their fair share of criticism. Indeed, it was only a few weeks ago that the club posted a statement condemning online hate directed towards the latter. [Post edited 14 Jan 12:09]

Fair enough, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt (even though I don't believe that you were thinking of Vinnie Jones). [Post edited 14 Jan 4:17]

Not a particularly good comparison. It was clear from the start that Madsen has technical ability, he just wasn't applying himself and was rightly criticised. Now he's used to the rigours of the Championship, he's turned out to be a good player. Conversely, Varane doesn't shy away from a challenge but is limited technically. In particular, he seems averse to making a forward pass.
I agree that he has the potential to be a good player but I just don't see enough potential to command more than the £5-6 million being touted in the press. And that's assuming that he extends his contract as he could always run it down and leave on a free. |

Some early wobbles aside, Walsh was impressive. I liked that he learned his lesson and adjusted his tactics on corners. The QPR defenders also started offering him more protection which in turn enabled him to make punches. I'm still not convinced about his ability with his feet but he needs matches to improve. |

Overall Jimmy had an excellent game, second only to Walsh. However, he was at fault for both goals. On both occasions he tried to pinch the ball and got rolled. Whether some folk like it or not, them are the facts.
That's not to dilute Jimmy's performance. Rather it highlights 2 things. Firstly, we could do with a few more Jimmy Dunne types in the team to lend him some help. Secondly, even struggling PL teams will exploit mistakes that you may get away with in the Championship. |
