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 +

It appears Malky really does have the trust of VT and that is so important. Its as if Malky's first season with no money was like a test, then the second where it was said he was urged to spend but didnt feel we needed to in Jan apart from Campbell really made Tan believe he wont just spend cos its there.
Those 2 together (Tan and Malky) are forming a formidable team

We've signed one player and will probably only get another 4. The two scenarios couldn't be further apart![]()

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.
