Mail - Hoops legend Marsh slams 'idiot' QPR owners for failing to splash the cash

By Joe Bernstein

QPR legend Rodney Marsh has accused owners Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone of treating fans 'like mushrooms' - and said he would have respected manager Neil Warnock if he had quit.

Marsh, who scored at Wembley when Rangers won the only major trophy in their history, is fuming at the way the two Formula One tycoons have failed to back the club's bid to stay in the Premier League after winning promotion last season.

So far, QPR's only cash signing has been £1.2million Blackpool striker DJ Campbell, with Southampton winger Jason Puncheon expected to join this week in a £2m deal.

Marsh said: 'It's nowhere near enough. I said Blackpool would go down last season because they hadn't spent enough.

'Without at least £10m being spent, you've got virtually no chance. I don't know why they didn't get someone like Scott Parker in with proven Premier League experience.

'Briatore and Ecclestone have treated the fans like mushrooms. Somewhere a village is missing two idiots.

'I thought four weeks ago that Neil Warnock would have walked out. I'm not saying he should have but I'd have respected him for it. Because what will happen is he'll go on a streak of games without winning and people will call for his head anyway.

'Neil's had his hands tied in the transfer market. He did wonders last season, winning promotion was like swimming the Channel with diver's boots on. And he kept Adel Taarabt under control, which is no mean feat.

'But instead of backing Neil, the club have treated him like a naughty schoolboy who has to stand in the corner in silence.'

Marsh's outspoken comments about keeping supporters in the dark - like mushrooms - are certain to have a huge impact. He is still revered for the goal that helped win the 1967 League Cup final against West Bromwich.

And he warned: 'It is going to be very difficult for QPR to stay up - the first 10 games are absolutely critica

Well said Rodders. I agree with every word of that article.

[canadaranger]

Yes. He always could shoot straight!

Can't argue with Sir Rodney. NW is already a legend but if we do stay up he will get the freedom of London (west at least).

Once again Rodney says it as he sees it.....and everyone else except those three and their arselicker hangers-on.. The thing with Rodney is that he has honesty and integrity in his opinions. Honesty and integrity which are foreign words to three people at QPR.

Quite right Rodders,

Good piece by Rodney, highlighting again whats going on here,everyone knows these guys want their quick buck and if we go down they will be away(after their last parachute payment).If what you read had an inkling of truth in it ,the fact that they were waiting for premiership money before we signed Campbell tells you all you need to know about their ambition for the club.

cheers,

Jay.
