Just had a read through the whole report, and it's not pretty. We've done very well to get the wages down to £17.6m, but with the drop in parachute payments and loss of match day income, we're running a significant loss. That's a significant loss on one of the smallest budgets in the championship. We're not going to be able to raise revenue all that much, which means that wage bill will have to fall further, and any player who can be sold, will be sold.

As the world wobbles, QPR are uncharacteristically stable please log in to view this image This time a decade ago, QPR were preparing for a four-year stretch of being everything that they are now not. It may not be as glamorous in the hooped corner of west London in 2021, but there are many more reasons to be happy. Not so long ago viewed as somewhere between the place for a last big pay-day and a retirement home, Loftus Road now operates under the good name of the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, and plenty more about the club is of similarly well-intentioned ilk. Under Mark Warburton’s tutelage, they have become a very commendable outfit, on and off the pitch. In the coronavirus-ridden 2020/21 campaign, the Londoners turned themselves from bottom-half fodder into one of the best of the rest after the top six. Continue that trajectory and they will be dark horses for next season, and very much not of the Turkey variety. That dark time which brought so much confusion in the hierarchy and a pissing contest to bring in bigger and floppier names – Rio Ferdinand, Jose Bosingwa, Christopher Samba, Julio Cesar, Esteban Granero et al each poorer than the last – was supposed to signal a bright future for the Londoners, but all it brought was capital punishment.
