Think it's going to be a boost to the other players...Now will Faurlin give up his captaincy! You know beyond how good they've been as actual managers - I've felt many of our managers have cared more about the club that the owners! Can't see AT being very happy if Faurlin is captain - he'd probably ask for a transfer! In any event, I seem to recall seeing somewhere that Faurlin is only captain for the friendlies.

Where's the Official Site interview with Taarabt saying how glad this was all cleared up; and that he never wanted to leave, etc. (Or the announcement he'd signed a new, improved contract!)

Ah I see message deleting and substitution That trickery will get us nowhere. That old saw of how many games have we seen in person is rearing its ugly head again. Well it makes people happy evidently to say and think that. We all have our prejudices. Fortunateley few on this blogsite do. Long may it stay that way. When we all enter the pearly gates, I dont think St. Peter will ask how many QPR games did you see in your lifetime.

Thats why we have free speech on this blog. We may not agree with what you say but we support your right to say it, as long as it is in the bounds of civility. Yeah, agree I just rely on facts. Too many rumours and un-true stories has been surfacing regarding QPR this summer! We all want QPR to do well in the Premier League and keeping Adel Taarabt is great because He is a great player that can turn games in favour of QPR out of the Blue ;D The Team needs Us to back them up and having a positive attitude towards the Squad is essential. Of course We are allowed to critisize and debate, after all the players earn A LOT OF MONEY for playing Football and if they are not good enough doing that, We can let them know! I LOVE QPR (The Team and fans) and I always will. Our owners is another thing Come on You R'sssssss

Queens Park Rangers' Adel Taarabt admits time is running out to complete Paris Saint-Germain switchMorocco international would still like move to France but if the deal does not happen soon then he will prepare for the new campaign with QPR Queens Park Rangers attacker Adel Taarabt is still keen on joining Paris Saint-Germain, despite the insistence of his current club that he would remain in London. Taarabt still appears keen on moving back to France, having featured for Lens in the past, but admitted that the deal must happen soon or he will commence preparations for the new campaign with QPR. Speaking to L'Equipe, the midfielder said: "Up until now the two clubs were not able to strike an agreement. "I would like to go to Paris, but if it does not happen this weekend, then it will never happen. My team-mates will be leaving for a tour on Monday and I am still under contract. "I have to respect my team as I am the captain there and I have to prepare [for the new season] with them." www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2011/07/24/2588461/queens-park-rangers-adel-taarabt-admits-time-is-running-out

Taarabt airs PSG frustration QPR playmaker had hoped to make French switch
Adel Taarabt is disappointed to have seen a proposed move to Paris St Germain break down.
The Queens Park Rangers playmaker appeared destined to complete a switch to the French capital once PSG made a formal approach.
Discussions were held between the two clubs and Taarabt's representative.
There was, however, to be a twist in the tale, with QPR announcing on Saturday that no agreement had been reached.
They claimed Taarabt would be staying at Loftus Road for the 2010/11 campaign and was fully committed to the Premier League new boys.
The 22-year-old sees the matter slightly differently, though, and has aired his frustration at how a lengthy transfer saga has played out.
Interest
"I want to go to Paris, but if it is not sorted out this weekend then it won't happen," Taarabt told L'Equipe.
"The QPR board are fed up with the situation. This has gone on for two months.
"If I have to stay in London, I will be able to look forward to the Premier League."
Asked how he feels about having seen a move collapse, Taarabt added: "Of course it is disappointing because I wanted to come. The project interests me a lot.
"In England I will earn more money, but Paris is the capital of France. If I exploded onto the scene there, it could be extraordinary.
"It felt like fate would take me to PSG. Paris was a great opportunity."

There's obviously been a lot of discussion/dissection of this statement, on the various boards.
Just re Warnock/Coach/Warning One discussion is whether referring to Warnock as "Coach" was any big deal. (I think yes. Others think no.)
The other is the assertion that the Club Criticism was directed at Coach Mick Jones, not Warnock. That I don't see given how the sentences on the Official Statement follow on. " - Neil Warnock is our coach and we are working closely with him in a professional and confidential manner to try to achieve our aims and objectives. - The coach's job is to coach the squad and identify players he believes will improve the squad. As a Board, we deal with all the negotiations and we have been successful in completing deals for Bothroyd and Dyer so far. - We are aware of some issues that have been raised in the press by the coach, but we have discussed these with him internally and he has agreed to be more reserved in terms of what he discusses in the future."

Sticking entirely to Taarabt staying, this thread, we gave plenty on all the other stuff.
We would not be in the Premier league if we didn't have Taarabt last season[/b[
19 goals and 16 assists, best in all leagues.
Kenny was solid but didn't get us promoted.

The Sun
Neil Warnock gagged by Rangers chiefsNEIL WARNOCK'S future as QPR boss is in doubt after he was gagged by Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore. And Warnock is said to be unhappy at having to shut it. A Loftus Road source said: "He won't be happy about being told to watch his mouth - especially from two men who are not really football people. "This could lead to trouble between the trio and us looking for another manager." Warnock criticised the club's lack of spending on signings since promotion. Majority shareholders Ecclestone and Briatore said in a statement: "We are aware of issues raised in the Press by the coach but we have discussed these and he has agreed to be more reserved in terms of what he discusses. www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3712038/Neil-Warnock-gagged-by-Rangers-chiefs.html#ixzz1T63jxyin

Year ago: How Dave McIntyre viewed that Warnock PUt down David McIntyre Blog
You can tell a lot from a statement The hallmark of a deeply troubled club is the ranting, self-indulgent statement.Think of a problem club in recent years. It’s likely that those at the helm were prone to issuing these type of statements. Luton, Wimbledon, Hearts, Liverpool, Darlington, Newcastle– you name it. In football, when the asylum gets taken over it starts issuing statements. Bad regimes tend to produce badly advised, cringeworthy attempts to try and set the record straight from their point of view. It’s a common characteristic. Several clubs have been through this difficult but usually temporary spell. Sadly, QPR have been issuing such statements on and off for six years now. That’s a very long time for a club to be so desperately lacking sensible and coherent leadership – and the previous years were pretty dismal in that respect too.Saturday’s essay, written on behalf of the club’s owners, wasn’t nearly as horrific as some of the diatribes churned out by QPR since 2005. But it still highlighted that Rangers is a club with serious, deep-seated problems.Massive spending (and it has been massive) by the owners, and one excellent season on the pitch, doesn’t change the fact that much is wrong at Loftus Road and has been for a long time. What it also highlighted was something I alluded to in my last blog: that Neil Warnock was given a slap on the wrist for hinting at his frustration at not being able to sign some of his targets, and since then has been reluctant to comment.I knew this because last month, Warnock politely told me he’d prefer not to speak to me and that this was likely to be the case for a couple of weeks. I’ve got no problem with that. I’m not close to Warnock, don’t know him as well as I have previous Rangers managers, and am used to being in the doghouse with people at QPR. But this came completely out of the blue and, at the time, I couldn’t think of an obvious reason for it. But the following day, I was told some of Warnock’s previous comments had not gone down at all well, and he’d been given a warning. In a way, I can understand why. I wouldn’t be too amused by some of Warnock’s comments either. But then I wouldn’t have given any manager the kind of mandate to run the show he was handed when he took over last year. And what Warnock was promised is the key issue at the heart of all this. Warnock is a very shrewd football man with a Gerry Francis-like understanding of his stock among QPR fans compared to the board’s, and his musings this summer have reflected that. His words are very clever and effective. They boost his profile and mean he is taken seriously. His bosses, despite their successful backgrounds, are not. And no wonder, when they talk about working with the manager in a “professional and confidential manner” while giving him a very public and unprofessional slapping down. Only at QPR. Since their takeover was being negotiated in June 2007, I have never believed the current owners would be good for the club. But despite this summer’s relative lack of transfer activity, for which there are many reasons, I’ve always felt the allegation that they’re unwilling to spend is not only unjustified, but ludicrous.The irony, though, is that Saturday’s statement was largely about their willingness to back the manager and sign players, yet does nothing to help them do that. Another very obvious sign of the division and incoherence that prevails at QPR will only add to its reputation as a club best avoided.Being prepared to spend is only part of it. Being able to convince good players that QPR is a stable, progressive club they should want to join is the most important bit. And in that respect, Rangers haven’t made things any easier for themselves.davidmcintyre.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/you-can-tell-a-lot-from-a-statement/qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=24613
