Ian Taylor/QPR
Hi all,
I know a few of you have been asking in recent weeks …
I can now confirm that we won’t be holding a Player of the Year event this season
I am sure you understand why we have made such a decision and hopefully you agree that this decision has been made in the best interests of the club
The point was raised briefly in our Fans Group meeting last week and those present agreed it was the correct decision
FYI – Voting for this seasons awards will open over the course of the next 48 hours, with the awards set to be presented at our final home fixture of the season against Newcastle United
Please feel free to feed this information out as you see fit
Regards
Ian

So Ryan Nelsen won't be receiving his Play of the Year Award after all? Very disappointing to read.

I'm voting for Jude the Cat: he's played in every home game, looks safer in goal than Green or Cesar, and he'd never be seen dead in a Chelsea shirt! ;D

I know we obviously had no Player of the Year Dinner last year...
Anyone - Bushman - know how many times over the years, we have not had player of the year dinners/events....
And for two years in a row?

And continuing the more sober tone, won't it be actually more embarrassing to present the player awards at the Newcastle game where the atmosphere will be terrible and we'll be lucky to get 15,000?
Nelsen really deserves an award, for sure, but it's very unlikely he'll be able to commute in from Toronto just for the weekend.
Frankly, the proposal is almost as farcical as a Brazilian goalkeeper in a clown wig and a... OK, I won't go there again! ;D

Personally I think we should take the word 'dinner' off the title of this thread.

It's beena dismal season - and although a handful of players have put the others to shame with their committment, no single QPR player has stood out - apart from the odd spurt that lasted a handful of games. So in short there is nothing to celebrate at all - so I'm in full favour of cancelling the whole function.
That all said if i had to choose palyer of the year it would be Ryan Nelson - how unexpected and we missed him when he moved to Canada.

I would say its more than a handful of players to be honest Phil! Agree about Ryan though!!!..........God we missed him when he went!!!

Give it to Loic Remy. He will be so moved by the gesture that he will decide he wants to stay with us and will accept a 50% cut in pay for the privilege.

All the players on top of an open double decker bus with megaphones. Start at Loftus Rd drive around the Bush to Ealing Broadway and back. We are all so sorry loyal fans, then the Beethoven Death March. from loud speakers specially mounted. ;D

The fans groups should have forced them to have one. When/where is this voting for the seasons awards taking place?

I understand why they made this decision. But I think it's gutless. You hold the event in good and times and bad.
The only reason for not holding should be if they felt they couldnt fill a phone booth ("What's a phone booth?" will soon be the question getting asked!) with people wanting to come.

Exactly. Even if the players aren't invited their should have been something to recognise the fans this season (and last).

EXCLUSIVE: QPR scrap awards night to avoid fan backlash after horror season
By Sami Mokbel
PUBLISHED: 16:45 EST, 26 April 2013 | UPDATED: 16:45 EST, 26 April 2013 Queens Park Rangers have cancelled their end-of-season awards party for fear of a fans’ backlash. The news emerged as co-owner Tony Fernandes prepared to fly to England for talks with the club’s hierarchy next week. Rangers supporters are frustrated that the club’s lavish spending on wages has failed to head off a virtually certain drop into the Championship — and management have scrapped their planned dinner to avoid potentially embarrassing episodes. Shambles: Queens Park Rangers have endured a difficult campaign that seems destined to end in relegation Shambles: Queens Park Rangers have endured a difficult campaign that seems destined to end in relegation Going down: Harry Redknapp has not been able to save QPR from the drop Going down: Harry Redknapp has not been able to save QPR from the drop At the end of the 2010-11 season, a brawl marred West Ham’s player awards dinner, which took place 24 hours after their relegation into the Championship was confirmed. Instead, the QPR player awards will be handed out before the final game at Loftus Road, against Newcastle on May 12. Fernandes is due in London next week as Rangers prepare for life in the Championship. He is expected to meet manager Harry Redknapp and other officials to begin work on a plan of action this summer. A number of the club’s top earners — including Loic Remy, Chris Samba and Julio Cesar — are expected to leave. But Redknapp says he still has the hunger to manage Rangers if, as expected, they are relegated. The 66-year-old believes his side can pass their way out of the Championship next season, but said the squad will need an overhaul during the summer, with ‘characters’ brought in to strengthen his team. Redknapp stressed that Joey Barton, who is on loan at Marseille, would be welcome back and said he would target experienced players. The former Spurs boss had success with Teddy Sheringham and Paul Merson, whom he signed for Portsmouth in the twilight of their careers. The manager said: ‘You can play football to get out of the Championship but it will be very difficult to come straight back up. It’s full of quality and tradition and big, big clubs. Welcome: Redknapp said that Joey Barton can come back and play for the club Welcome: Redknapp said that Joey Barton can come back and play for the club ‘I need characters that are up for playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, but there have got to be some players going out first. I am ready for the challenge. I like football. I haven’t exactly got a hard life. I’m not tired of it at all.’ Redknapp also revealed that Bobby Zamora, who is suspended for tomorrow’s trip to Reading after his red card against Wigan, needs a hip operation but must weigh up the benefits of surgery as he would be out for 10 months. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2315465/Queens-Park-rangers-scrap-awards-night-fear-fan-backlash.html
