Their progress on the pitch under Knighthead has been bang bloody average at best, they were stupid enough to fall for American hubris this summer and deluded themselves into thinking they were on for a title charge and they now look ridiculous for it
No doubt they are a better run football club these days but since their takeover on the pitch they have failed, and thus far quite miserably in my opinion
We tend to think they've been bulled up far too much. Their owners are obsessed with making powerful statements, one of which was the rank stupidity of ditching a good manager like Eustace for Rooney, just because he was a name they'd heard of. Which of course set them back 2 years in the process.
Their owners of course also have deep pockets, so it was inevitable that they'd be able to acquire the kind of players that would see them back out of League One. The only real competition they will have had in that league money-wise will have been Wrexham, but they had a stronger base to start from than Hollywood FC. Having came back up with a record hall of points, they're now tubthumping the Bejesus out of it. They've a strong squad no doubt, but that squad is nowhere near as in tune with each other as several others in this league. I suspect also that quite a few of their names have been recruited on an individual basis, rather than how they get on as a whole, following their owners ethos of buying to impress.
Understandably whilst some of their fans are realists, a decent amount of them lapped up the bullshit aspect of their owners narrative, saw how Ipswich stormed through the championship after promotion amd thought that they could with even bigger pockets, ride that wave in an even greater fashion to the promised land, where they'd then rip up trees no doubt. It didn't help either that many neutral fans seemed to think they were the side to possibly overhaul some of the parachute sides too.
Now of course it's quite apparent that things haven't turned out quite as magnificently as they'd hoped, their somewhat unbalanced squad littered with names and talented individuals not quite cutting the mustard as much as a whole as they'd hoped.
QPR scored four goals in the first half of a game for the first time since 1998, sweeping Leicester City aside in an unplayable footballing tidal wave that made it a miserable afternoon for Marti Cifuentes on his first return to W12.
