In all honesty who can say that they don't try and unsettle a player that they're after in the hopes of them requesting a transfer or complaining about not having offer accepted for them?

It's less the relegation threat - it's troubling but we should be able to pull away a little with a few good results - and more than we need more players but don't ever seem able to sign them. With any luck we'll either get some players or those coming back will not only help but stay injury free this time but I'm not quite so confident we'll be able to sign the 2/3 players we actually need.

I can see where your coming from, Mike Ashley is a funny character he's not got enough money to put towards new players but he's got enough to try and get a foot in Rangers

I used to play with my brother, i'd sell him the players i didn't want for shed loads and take his stars for peanuts

Forren at Manchester airport today. Something's bound to happen in the next couple of days I guess.

I think he's got a trial with Liverpool
Number 1
Shows what I now as I thought UEFA prohibited such moves.
Some Newcastle fans think that Ashley is looking to make back his cash then sell up in a year or two, which wouldn't be too surprising, but surely he knows relegation would completely decimate us as an asset.

I don't really know the ins and outs at Portsmouth but I wouldn't imagine it was him, rather than say the chairman that sold them up the financial shitter.
Flash.
He sold Caroll for 35 million, found several good replacements with that money, then competed for the Champions League places, all while keeping the club financially healthy.
Normal service has now resumed.

At Portsmouth, Redknapp had a clause in his contract that meant he got 10% of any transfer fee. Cue scores of players moving in both directions followed by financial meltdown.
Ninja
Obviously, but if there wasn't money to sign players and no one stopped him from doing it then that's surely a fuck up higher up the food chain than the manager.

I'm wouldn't be surprised what with Pompys position within the PL at the time if most of their top players had bonuses and automatic payrises in their contracts that got activated if they won a cup competition as the chairman wasn't expecting to win anything only maintain PL status and so when they won the FA Cup they fucked themselves over

Yeah but last season, much like this one the teams outside of the top 4 weren't exactly the strongest. Granted they had some great buys but all they did was replace the awful players who were in the starting line up and put them on the bench, if Cabaye or Cissé had got injured last season they would of been nowhere near the top half of the league

If Harry doesn't keep QPR up they'll be in trouble... Apparently Remy has a clause that allows him to walk for completely nothing if they get relegated.
Would LUV IT if we got him for free in the summer.

Surely that's got to be rubbish.
I mean QPR haven't exactly done great business of late but that really would be one of the most moronic ways of doing business ever heard. Buy a player for a decent fee, pay him £100k a week and then let him leave for nothing if you go down.
Poe
Pretty much an "all-in" move from Tony Fernandes. Also - apparently Redknapp is now trying to snatch Vegard Forren from under the noses of Southampton. Does he have his own scouting system or does he just buy other clubs transfer targets?
Sky Sports are sitting here trying to convince me that Loic Remy is picking QPR for footballing reasons rather than the extra £50k a week too.
Hope they don't end up like Portsmouth.

Having a player on £100k pw in the Championship is great business!
Remy would be idiotic not to go to QPR. Go get paid a fortune, leave on a free, negotiate a bigger deal as Newcastle or whoever don't have to pay a transfer fee.
Anyway - Time for Ashley to prove his transfer policy works, and sign 'plan B' or 'plan C'. Linked with Siem de Jong today.
BR.
Haha, perfect description

Perhaps you've not heard of players having their wages cut in that circumstance.
Much better idea than a player you've spent £8 million on in January leaving for free in June.
