Mate you could show him a turd and tell him it smells and he would ask you for a link or some sworn affidavit from the chairman of the turd council.

So did we come 7th and 8th in the previous 2 seasons after spending much of the time in the play-offs? did we spend much of the 3rd season in the autos and the playoffs before finishing 3rd?

no links are needed. promotion was clearly a distinct possibility long before the back end of the third season, common sense says as much.

Malky's ethos hasn't changed and it's not as if he's just signing every tom, dick and harry just for the sake of it. Malky's dossiers are as important now as they were 2 years ago.
I believe the problem for QPR wasn't that they spent a lot of money but rather that they wasted a lot of money on shit!


A lot of money that the club itself cannot afford to bear without a benefactor. You say QPR spent a lot of money on shit, yet you have no idea how your transfers will turn out. I for one would not be comfortable with signing the likes of Tom Ince and other untested kids for £8 million +

did you know how Michu was going to turn out ;)


The fact he was the top goalscoring midfielder in La Liga, a similar quality league, gave me a fair idea yeah. however at £2m it was hardly a gamble.

fair enough you did get a bargain as it turned out but how often will any team do that again, including you? Even you must admit that the way Malky goes about his business is 2nd to none so I trust his signings 100% no matter how much that player costs. We will see if Cornelius will be worth the money spent.


Well we have done it all over the park not just with Michu. Ashley Williams cost 400k and he is now worth £10m. Dyer was signed for 500k, Tiendalli was a free and is now a dutch international, Vorm was £1.5m and is one of the best keepers in the prem, taylor was 150k from Wrexham, Chico was £2m.

Ive heard a lot about this 'the way malky goes about his business' but im not entirely sure what it means. Hes in his first prem season and is on the verge of signing 2 untested 20 year olds for £16m+ an amount not too dissimilar to what we paid for our whole squad pretty much, which went on to win a major trophy, qualify for Europe and never be in a relegation fight against all odds.


He goes about his business well and by that we mean when he wants to sign a player he won't just rush into it, he asseses every aspect of the players work ethic, potential and overall quality. The majority of his signings will leave for more than we paid for them.
