EXCLUSIVE: BHATIA LOOKS AHEADPosted on: Fri 15 May 2009 Amit Bhatia is already looking forward to the start of the 2009/10 Coca Cola Championship campaign. Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk from the United States, where he is currently on business, the QPR Holdings Ltd Vice Chairman revealed he is counting down the days to the new season. "I'm missing the football already," he said. "Of course we'd love to be involved in the play-off's right now, but it wasn't to be this year, but that doesn't mean we won't be involved in the shake up for promotion in 2009/10." Bhatia added: "We've made fine progress this season. "Our final point's total of 61 is the best we've registered in recent seasons and I firmly believe we've got a squad that can compete in the upper echelons of the Championship. "We were very unlucky with injuries last season. We lost key players throughout the season, but we still occupied a top half place for the duration of the campaign, so if we can keep everyone fit, we'll have a great chance to progress even further over the next 12 months." Bhatia revealed that the search for a new boss is a 'top priority' of the Board, and that talks are on-going with a number of interested applicants.
"We've talked to a lot of people and we're nearly there," he said.
"We didn't want to rush into making an appointment, because we know just how important this decision is.
"It affects everyone connected to the Football Club; the Board, the staff, the fans. It's a crucial decision."
With the Early Bird Season Ticket deadline looming, Bhatia also touched upon the role the QPR supporters will play next season, adding: "There were many highs and lows last season, but the fans stood by us through it all. "I've said it before and I'll happily say it again, the fans are our twelfth man, be it home or away, and their support is vital. "The atmosphere at Loftus Road is up there with the very best I've ever witnessed and I can't wait to see the ground rocking again at the start of the season." BEAT THE DEADLINE! QPR supporters are reminded that the Early Bird Season Ticket deadline of May 17th is fast approaching. For more information on the latest Season Ticket news, click here

Ok, it is true that the season tickets sales are upon us!
And it is true that many might question the "fine progress" made in 2008/09
And given the names in the mix, some might be dubious.
I'd say let's wait till we see who the new manager is. (And none of this "mustn't criticize the new managerial appointment; give him a chance" Nonsense!)

Why anyone would renew not knowing what manager we'll have, what players have left and what the transfer kitty is well...

Not really that much of a cunning plan as you only save at most £17 quid.
Shame that when Ali was getting our new caterers from his old club Hearts he didn't notice that they have cut their season ticket prices by 25%.

One sliver of truth in that statement - they certainly have been talking to lots of people regarding the managers job. Most of them have run for their lives. Who can blame them ?

I just renewed.....I was goaded by a Chelsea fan for not having renewed and it reminded me that in the end as long as I can afford it I really have no choice as to whether I will or won't, I am an addict, a masochist, a victim, a sufferer of QPR until death do us part.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to talk to him in England?
Bhatia has meeting with Report, London, Florida and anyone else stateside I have forgotten.

I was first diagnosed with QPRitis in 1977 and it has been an ongoing addiction and cause for serious concern for all those around me ever since. It has been 20 days since my last fix and at the moment the earliest I will get another one is in 56 days time. Thank-you for listening. God, please have mercy on us all.

What Mark? Should we start a support group.?, First admit you.. have no control. Then you cant go to anymore games. If you start to shake watch an old tape where we lost badly or that awful Manu game where we fell out of prem. That did me, but here I am. A new post from Ingham would be helpful.
