This Club that we love is run by people who don't know what they are doing. If Samba has been quoted correctly he has said the following
"I don't think I was well prepared to come back to the hardest league in the world. You need to be fully fit and ready and compete"
So who advised Tony to shell out £12.5 million and £100k a week? This is incompetence at the highest level.
Oh yes...it was Harry...here;s the story when he signed.
This is an unbelievable signing," manager Harry Redknapp told the QPR website. "Chris is just what we need. He's a monster." Despite Samba's reported six-figure weekly wage, Redknapp said the player had taken a "massive pay cut" to move to the Premier League's bottom club, "I've tried to sign him loads of times," added the Hoops boss on the club's official weekly phone-in show 'London Call-In'. "He was willing to take a massive pay cut because I don't think he was enjoying it over there. "He's great in the air, quick, a leader, strong, fantastic in both boxes, hard as nails. He's a proper centre-half"
Read this again fellow R's fans and weep. Especially the bit about the 'massive pay cut'. What mugs we are.
As a result of this, Harry (who also has the worst win record of all our PL managers) should have his contract terminated.

It would be good to keep him, but we just can't afford him in the Championship. Hes on nowhere near that sum, nearer 50-60K a week. Which in my mind is still 50K a week more than nay footballer is worth! But to all the fans saying ' we cant afford him/ we cant afford that'. How do you know what we can afford? I don't . Neither you or I am privy to the finances that the owners are prepared to sink into the club. Lets leave the owners to decide how much of their money they want to spend. After all they own the club

Doesn't matter now anyway. Far more important issues this club has to deal with than Samba.

After all they own the club It is not guesswork mm2h. It is in the company accounts that we have massively overspent up until April 2012; to the tune of an £89m debt. With a glut of new signings spread over 2 transfer windows since and very few players leaving then the debt is growing (plus another £15m external loan) and when the accounts for april 2013 are released we will know by how much. So I could not disagree with you more about the owners should be allowed to spend as they wish because they own the club. They are not spending their money. They are loaning their money to the club. In any other business their policies would be seen as wild and reckless overspending. Somehow, football is different and the sooner the FIFA financial fair play rules get applied the better.

In any other business their policies would be seen as wild and reckless overspending. Somehow, football is different and the sooner the FIFA financial fair play rules get applied the better. Completely agree - and yet again mm2h this reeks of this patronising tone towards football fans that we should just shut up and not bother questioning the way funds are spent at a club we devote very large amounts of money, time and loyalty to. I can't believe people would even have to ask why people question these kind of things or baulk at the idea of any owner being afforded carte blanche by the fanbase just to spend or do whatever they want. Owners are transitory whereas we'll always be there. They are the owners, we are custodians. What is hard to understand about that? It's not knocking anyone - it's giving a crap about something we're passionate about. The reason why it matters how much the owners/shareholders are prepared to throw into the club is because it impacts our long term financial stability. It matters because it affects our transfer policy and long term goals. It matters because if everything goes to pot, like it has done before, it affects the condition the club is left in. I hope that doesn't happen but you'll excuse me for not having blind faith considering all of the things we have gone through over the years. Chris Wright springs to mind. By all means, throw all your weight behind the owners - I hope they succeed too. But don't call out fans for caring, being sceptical and for wanting to have a solid grip on the way our club is being ran. We are not children. Best owner or worst owner in the world, I would always care about the money they are spending (or not) on our club.
