Bump/Flashback 8 years (Before Mark Hughes engaged on his Summer transfer spree):
Talksport - Beard says QPR won't make same mistakes in the transfer market
QPR chief executive Phil Beard has told fans to expect a new breed of signing at Loftus Road.
Rangers made a number of last-ditch signings when Tony Fernandes bought into the club last season and not all of them have proved successful.
But Neil Warnock has since been replaced as manager by Mark Hughes and, with the new-look Rangers board fully acclimatised, Beard says the club will be more methodical in the transfer market.
"I joined the club as part of the takeover and we had 10 days left of the transfer window," Beard said. "We worked very quickly and very hard, but if we had slightly more time to plan and prepare we might have approached that differently.
"This season we are under no illusions - we have the time we didn't have last year.
"We need to make sure over the next six to eight weeks we work really hard with Mark and his team, and make sure any changes are really thought through and strengthen the squad in the way we need to so we can kick on and hopefully not be in the same position as last year."

QPR Official Site - BEARD REAFFIRMS TRANSFER POLICY
Posted on: Thu 07 Jun 2012
QPR CEO Philip Beard has reaffirmed the Club's stance on announcing player transfers, insisting that deals will only be confirmed when they are contractually complete.
Media sources have linked the R's to a number of potential targets in recent weeks, as the countdown to next year's Barclays Premier League campaign begins to gather pace.
Beard, however, insists that transfers will only be announced through the Club's official media channels when they are 100 per-cent complete.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, he explained: "We have been linked to a number of different players in recent weeks, but the truth is that anything said to have been completed - and we haven't announced it - is wide of the mark.
"Announcing deals before they are finalised could put us in an uncompromising situation, especially if a transfer falls through.
"Rest assured, along with Mark Hughes, the rest of his team and the Board of Directors, we are and will be working tirelessly over the summer months to try and bring new players to the Club that will help take us forward next term.
"When any deals are completed in full, the fans will be the first to know - most notably through our official website, www.qpr.co.uk, our SMS service and our Facebook and Twitter pages."
