Just listen to the egotistic self publicist! Talking about the wheeze of tweeting the fans to ask them to nominate potential new signings, Fernandes gushes: "That was superb. Without blowing my own trumpet, I have to say it was inspired by me." Well good on you Tony, we needed to know that I must say!
He continued: "You effectively have 100,000 scouts out there for you, and there is no way QPR could know every single player. Suddenly we have players we've never heard of, and Neil is looking at videos and thinking 'not bad'. It was seen as another mad Tony Fernandes moment, but there was no harm, no downside."
No downside? Ever heard the one about sorting the wheat from the chaff Tony? Or the problem of buying players on the back of a YouTube video? Didn't Sounness run into a problem at Southampton, having to pull off an African after 5 minutes? What about West Ham's signing of Faubert, who looked really special on video, but absolutely shite on the pitch? Dear God, I can watch football from all around the world courtesy of my Betfair account but if you don't know the quality of the opposition, how can you judge the quality of an individual player's performance? Avram Grant ended up will a till operative from Taco Bell when he signed Barrera after the last World Cup, the real one stayed in Mexico!
After blowing his own trumpet, and that can't be easy with his belly, Fernandes continues, "We have to strengthen our squad. It's just not deep enough. I feel we maybe need three, four." which sounds really exciting if you are an expectant R, until he adds, "We could end up with none if we don't find anyone"! Ah, getting closer to the truth all of a sudden!
So it's time to big it up again in case fans sense the lack of genuine intent: "We had six or seven in the last transfer window, which is way above what I thought we'd get." Does that 6 or 7 include Gabbidon and Dyer perchance? Ferdinand, Wright-Phillips, Young, Barton...Have I forgotten anybody?
Then he adds: "It depends. At the last minute some things come up. It's very hard to tell." True, Tony, true. Warnock may be trawling through those 100,000 videos and just before the window slams shut, he may spot a Lithuanian playing in a Sunday league game and yell, "That's it! That's my man! Get out the cheque book Tony, this one can be had for a fiver and twenty Ryaniar flights for his nearest and dearest. We can even stock up the staff in the local Lap Dancing club as part of the package!"
Did anybody ask him about Gary Speed I wonder? "Ah, Gary Speed, great man, almost as great as me. I remember watching him playing alongside Stan Bowles when I used to stand on the terraces at Loftus Road in the early 1980's!"
This is the most idiotic posting I have ever read. It smacks of sour grapes and jealousy. What on earth have your board got to shout about.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so fascinated with what's going on at Rangers and what Fernades is up to ? Get over him mate you got some obsession with him ? The six players we bought on the last week of the transfer deadline were : Ferdinand , wright-Phillips , Troare , young , Puncheon and Barton . So know Gabbidon and Dyer don't count . Move on mate you are embarrassing yourself .
ReplyDeleteThis is the second installment of a bizarre attack on a chairman who has nothing to do with your club.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that he has stuck his money where his mouth is so far at QPR, is somehtign you appear to be blithely ignorant of, or is it just amll minded jealousy that while you are lumbered witht he parasites in Gold and Sullivan, QPR actually lucked out where Wet Spam didn't.
Get over yourslef you small minded petty biggot.
Ouch, the GRRRs have come out to play!
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. F*cking. Dull.
ReplyDeleteYeah but don't you love the QPR fan showing her arse to the camera?
ReplyDeleteQuite Poor Really
ReplyDeleteThe dark haired one in front is trying to reverse her bike back into the slot!
ReplyDeleteOh HF! I was starting to get you and then u do this! This article wreaks of BS from start to finish. I get what u r at previously in terms of the connections with previous players and Fernandes but this is really putrid stuff. No doubt u may say we r taking the bait but ur just beong insulted by everyone rather than sparking a debate. Kudos for the pic though! Look at the footballs on ur wan next to qpr lady flashin her ass...ENORMOUS!
ReplyDeleteGod rest the legend that is Speed!

This is one of the worst posts you have done and that's saying something when you read the drivel that comes out of you.You will never have anything nice to say about QPR so why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from.the guy brought in 6 or so players in the last week of the window,he had reduced the seasons tickets ,He is involving the fans in the club,How bitter you must be.
ReplyDeleteWORD OF WARNING hammersfan! all your doing with this site is inciting dislike between QPR and WEST HAM fans,we dont have any major dislike with each other BUT if you carry on with your posts that cause fans to argue and bread a dislike for each other you may have some questions to answer with the POLICE if our teams meet and there is any trouble. I will be the first to report you to the Authorities.
ReplyDeleteLOL I'm not inciting any hatred, I'm telling the truth! I haven't made any of this up have I? This is what Fernandes has said! Are you happy that you might not sign anybody in January? That's what Fernandes said. Are you happy that Taraabt and Foulin may be sold in January? Or that Barton is hinting that he might be off? Do you really buy the nonsense about the fans acting as scouts for the club? Even on his wildest estimate, Fernandes thinks you have a fan base of 45,000 but he talks of 100,000 amatuer scouts. What's that if not hyperbole?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand all the ire. Unless of course I have touched a nerve. I don't trust our owners and you are very foolish if you trust yours. Take EVERYTHING he says with a huge pinch of salt. New stadium? Where exactly? New players? Who exactly? Transfer war chest? How much exactly? Lots of hot air, not a lot of substance so far!
21.36 agree with you mate, i have nothing against qpr but there are some heated arguments on here,If the coppers read the stories and comments on this site im sure HF could be in trouble with the men in blue. The odd post about qpr is fair enough but continual attacks could be a cause for concern
ReplyDeleteLOL Pathetic! Seems to me I am a bridge between QPR fans and West Ham fans. Link hands in your hatred of Hammers Fan. Me, I love you all!
ReplyDeleteHF let me answer your questions New stadium? Where exactly?WHITE CITY New players? Who exactly? 6 ALREADY Transfer war chest? How much exactly?ABOUT £15M ,you ignore the good work Fernandes has done since coming in so its not all hot air,the only hot air is you, As i said you never say anything positive and you cause dislike between fans. You don't need to convince me ,when your questioned at a local police station in the future you can convince them. Also you cant plead ignorance with them as you are being told by me and other comments.
ReplyDeleteWe dont need a bridge between QPR and WEST HAM fans,neither care what the other is doing,Ignorance is bliss for you, you even rubbish decent comments by us.
ReplyDeleteWhite City? Not according to Fernandes. No mention of White City today. £15m? I'm struggling to find that in anything he said today. Six new players, but how much spent exactly? But we've gone over all that already.
ReplyDeletemy cousin works the Police ,i will ask him to look at this site ,see what they think.
ReplyDeleteKNOCK,KNOCK, Whose there? PC , PC who? PC that's going to nick you!(In English criminal law, incitement was an anticipatory common law offence and was the act of persuading, encouraging, instigating, pressuring, or threatening so as to cause another to commit a crime)
ReplyDeleteLOL Very good. Studying GCSE law? So what crime am I inciting? I would dearly like to know!
ReplyDeleteTell you what, why not address the issues raised in the article? Why has Fernandes come out with all this today? Anything to do with the Rs losing to Norwich at the weekend? As if!
ReplyDeleteHammers fan,out of all the post you have made how many of them have been positive? then take a look ate the comments people make,there is some serious anger in them between fans,HF comments+angry fans=Bad Blood between fans + match between two teams = you work it out.
ReplyDeletei tell you what to do, write a post about all the positive things that has happened since Fernandes take over ,put yourself in a QPR Shirt.Then we can see if you can be an actually decent Bloger. I DARE YOU.
ReplyDeleteWhy bad blood? Say what you like about West Ham and I will not dislike you. I may disagree with you, but I would take issue with your opinions, not you. I think Fernandes is a con artist. You disagree. Time will tell who is right.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble is, part of you suspects I am right. If I was spouting unbelievble crap, you wouldn't feel angry. It reminds me of the Church's reaction to The Life of Brian. They couldn't laugh because they knew, in their hearts, that it was true.
Now, abuse Sullivan, Gold and Brady as much as you like; I will agree with most of it. Knck our football under Allardyce; I will agree with you. Abuse Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking and I will argue with you, but I won't hate you. You are entitled to your opinion.
I noticed those footballs on ur wan
ReplyDeleteIRISH R - good to know ur there in Galway...We all know HF will be gutted when Fernandes + co splash the cash in a nice January spending spree on quality players Warnock has actually watched in person.Our owners are no fools when it comes to business and they sure know how to deliver!
i can understand the odd comment that shows you dislike Fernandes but its the continual attack on him and QPR that starts to annoy QPR fans
ReplyDeleteI would never disrespect West Ham legends and i don't care about your owners ,but saying that i wouldn't say no to Brady
ReplyDeleteDo you know what happens to the male praying mantis?
ReplyDeleteif i do it from behind i can get away before she bites my head off (head on my shoulders)
ReplyDeleteEver tried getting out of quicksand?
ReplyDeleteThis is just more trolling from another crap website looking to up the vistor count for tiny bragging writes as some form of penis extension.
ReplyDeleteBragging rights surely? It gave you something to read didn't it?
ReplyDeletedont worry h f my local bakers specialise files in cakes wecan orginise free the hf one what is it with these qpr fans give them a war chest of 30 mil and no one on the up would want to sign for them
ReplyDeleteremember when they were in the p l last time all there class players left them ferdinand etc then they got relegated let them enjoy there short stay in the p l write some good blogs about our team not theres any one who signs for them in the transfer window will be a gamble or a player past his sell by date
I'm a lifelong qpr supporter but lived in the heart of east London for some 28 years... Trust me, there's absolutely zero rivalry between our two clubs.
ReplyDeleteOther than utter jealousy, I really don't see where your issues or concerns about Fernandes are coming from.
what qpr do or don't do shouldn't even be registering with hammers fans, getting back into the premiership and avoiding playing at quarter full Olympic stadium should be issues closer to home for you.
Stop spouting utter rubbish on topics that simply don't and shouldn't concern you - you complete moron

the two of you have forgot one thing qpr have got a rich chair man ,who have west ham got,can get a new stadium any day and new players, so you talk some shit,qpr had 60,000 at wembly look it up
ReplyDeletewho are you going to play next,?
ReplyDelete{say no more}look at all the good players you sold,let see who you are going to buy when you go up ?
and i would love you go up, that from a qpr fan, i know who will be crying only time will tell ?
Who are we playing next? Burnley, a team that have won the title twice, the FA Cup once and reached the quarter final of the European Cup - a record that QPR fans can only dream of!
ReplyDeleteWell all questions have been answered since the original post. White city, Shepards Bush amongst 4 other unamed locations are the likely spots of future stadium according ri Chris Beard....thats the key HF, 'future'! It will happen but these things take time and need to be done right. It could be 5-6 yrs before we see it. Why do u always doubt our financial clout? Yes Fernandes is not loaded but Mittal is! That is where money is coming from. They tried buying out F1 gargoyles but were lookin for 100M and price was inflated due to bad blood between them. Actual price to Fernandes was 35M. I'm rambling, point is there is money and we will buy in Jan, nothing ground breaking but an exercise in improving our squad and thats all we Rs want...we r realistic not stupid!
ReplyDeleteOnly Dentheranger reacted to my previous comment on the huge jugs on ur 'wan' in pic....are ye blind!!! Much more interesting than the words of incitement and BS typed here! Thanks den!
