Odds back on SkyBet now. Lampard 1/10 so looks highly likely, but clinging to the tiny hope it may not be him.

Yep, King owns 100% and I agree, it is more transparent than SISU days.

Sounds a bit like a SISU-type arrangement. Thats exactly what they did until they realised they weren’t able to acquire the freehold.

Very different to continually fund an operating loss than put in initial funding in the first year. I do not believe Doug King is a rich man (in football funding terms anyway), so think it will be a challenge to continually fund operating losses - I hope I am wrong and you are right, but I...

Well, we shall see. I suspect that hole will be plugged by player trading cash surpluses, rather than from Mr King’s pockets.

Doug King has no cash to splash except that generated from the Club.

My money is on Carsley once the England games are out of the way.

It’s a bit strange as neither Sky Sports or FootMob Apps show any Cov players as being booked.

Not on better quality though

I think Robins’ time is probably up sadly, but the reality is that we have sold our best players and not replaced the quality. Unfortunately, Doug King is following exactly the same policy as SISU back in the late 2000’s ahead of our Championship relegation in 2012. Without additional...

Let’s hope someone is in the grounds of Balwearie High School is employed on match days to retrieve the ball if he is assigned penalty taker.

Unfortunately, Covid accelerated poor behaviour by entitled people you think it was a free pass that allowed them to do anything. At football, it was best illustrated at Euro 2020 final, and not much better in Berlin this July. I was at both those games and was ashamed to be an England fan - I...

It is difficult if the person you are going with has different points and you have to buy at different times.

Of course they shouldn’t be up until 10:30 on a school night - but then the parents probably just don’t bother sending them to school next day at all, just “school from home” instead.

His only reason for taking on CCFC is to make a profit from selling, probably after promotion to PL. He isn’t a Cov fan so has no emotional skin in the game, it’s all about the £££££

This is absolutely right - Doug King’s only aim is to achieve promotion and then sell at a chunky profit. As you say, he isn’t a Coventry fan, so why wouldn’t he?

Depends how QPR is funded by owners.

The harsh economics is that for every kid’s ticket sold, there is lost revenue compared to an adult ticket. Of course, if it isn’t full, and people don’t bring their kids, then the pricing could backfire but I understand why it is priced as it is.

People moan when we can’t compete with other clubs to pay wages and sign players, then people moan about higher prices. Under the Doug King ownership (ie no benefactor chucking money in), the ticket income is vital, so you can’t have it both ways. If you don’t like it or can’t afford it, don’t...

You only have to look at the way the Norwich manager has them playing compared to us. They moved the ball quickly, weren’t afraid to play out from the back (admittedly helped by our inability to take advantage when they did make mistakes), and had a plan. We didn’t know what we were doing, and...
