As per usual the club show zero class, even Charlie Austin on live radio yesterday said he thought he was poorly treated. They never even had a conversation with him about his contract, he deserved better than this in my opinion. He was a good player for QPR.

Firstly welcome to the board Tommy...

I didn't hear Charlie on the radio yesterday but from what you say that's very poor
from the Club.

Apart from all his goals & presence at the Club, he gave us a big lift upon his return & deserved
to be treated a lot better than that!

I wonder whose decision it was, for example, to release Dom Ball

MW after the game today

"Dom is the player who’s suffered most because of Sam Fields’s performances – he’s paid the price for that,” Warburton said.

“I know Dom better than any other player in that dressing room and he stepped in today when he was needed.

“He’s a tremendous young professional and likewise Yoann Barbet as well.”

[Tommy Cunningham]

I would hazard a guess and say that all the departures from the club, have been decided by our esteemed DOF.

[ESSEXURs]

Welcome Tommy!

Like any business politics override good sense I’m afraid and at the end of the day we are none the wiser as to the real reasons for some decisions.
Warburton obviously upset several management figures by his stubbornness in places and the fall out from that is now evident.
Yesterday’s team selection with two goalkeepers on the bench was exceedingly puzzling and surely U23 players could have benefited from first team squad involvement. History of football is littered with instances of players being let go by clubs only to blossom later in their careers.

Why stay at a club if it is painfully obvious you are not considered worthy of sitting on the first team bench? It’s no wonder some of our promising players seem to go backwards when loaned out to the Pig and Whistle in the Outer Mongolia Pub League Division 4. It hardly encourages them the have a career path before them or to perform.

Of course the new manager in the scheme of such things may already be inputting in respect of recent decisions but as usual we will never know. As I recently said to Young Kerrins gone are the days new manager selections depended upon who was spotted walking to HQ down South Africa Road.

Will the Board’s ambitions (and need for Premiership money) exceed our ability to pay for the correct appointment this time.
We shall see.
