Experiencing boutique football at QPR 3:49pm on 21 Dec 2008 Great blog, thanks. It's good to get a bit of perspective from an outsider about what is going on at our club.

As a fan since 1977, all I can say is that it's much better to have uncertainty with a lot of money behind it than uncertainty due to ever-impending bankruptcy!

I for one am very grateful for Briatore and the other investors for saving the club, although I do understand that this means the club will fundamentally change.

Change is not always welcome, but in QPR's case, it was essential.

I'm surprised that you did not mention at all the role that Gianni Paladini has played in all this transformation. He was (allegedly), after all, at the business end of that gun in the boardroom that you referred to!

Your observations about Sousa are excellent. It's early, but the indications are there that he may be a terrific up-and-coming manager. It's not east arriving from another country with little experience and quickly finding your feet in the cut-and-thrust of the Championship, but Sousa seems to have managed the transition with ease.

I predicted at the start of the season a 9th place finish for QPR -- almost exactly where we are, at the moment. As with most other clubs, what happens in January will go a long way to deciding if we move up or stand still.
