Seriously thanks. No one has to get paranoid about fearing a double post. Just a brief check.
As for what he says, I'd be surprised if he says anything beyond what he's said. But just might...(or maybe what he won't say!)

critical we stay up, as he has big plans, going down will put those plans years behind.
theres a fine line between brilliance and stupidity, and a fine line between success and failure.
our season is defined in the next 6 or 7 games.
if we buy a couple of players he is confident we can stay up, we have a good side and we just need a bit of luck.
we need to put the ball in the net and stop the goals going in (ha ha), we need to strengthen in those areas.
bartons goal was great and it was just heat of the moment stuff.

Sounds interesting , not sure "a couple" of players will be enough though to stop leaking goals AND start scoring them and if we sell tarbs we're even worse off I think (bar signing someone better which we have no change of doing).

Taarabt is key to us staying up.Its a crying sin that Adel cant shine while JB is suspended cos of that African Cup.

Fernandes comments re impact of relegation are very interesting. Because of course I think we are going down.

He knows it.
Warnock's on borrowed time. I think he has max of 3 games to turn it around or he's gone.

Not that I agree with it, but if like TF says our season is defined by the next 6 or 7 games, Warnock COULD leave if we dont beat Wigan & then a new manager could come in & do a Martin O'Neill for the remaining 4 or 5 games of this vital period.
I dont think Warnock should be sacked, but if he has had money to spend & hasnt been able to get a reaction or been able to get us winning at home against teams like Wigan at home, then I'm sorry, but worse sackings than that have happened in football.
Its coming down to the crunch.

Just now...Tony Fernandes Tweets twitter.com/#!/tonyfernandes I will leave no stone unturned to make qpr a success. But if I fail I have to go. I will give it 150 percent effort. Its important to note no one job is safe. Results are key. If I don't deliver I would be the first to step down as chairman. We owe it to all the fans. Good money is paid and results are key. Guys at qpr. There is no freeze of cash. Don't listen to ambiguous press reports. We are disappointed where we are in the league. This is a journey not s sprint. Along the way we learn. But we continue to develop and along the way hard decisions need to be made. But we never stop moving. Never. |

Thats a releif to read tonys tweet, the only thing is, if he does "fail" PLEASE dont leave!!! that'd put us right in the sh1t!! We'll be the next portsmouth and go into administration again!

I think Neil Warnock has to win the Wigan match to save his job, I'm not sure where I stand on that, but its not my money & the Fernandes tweet is straight & to the point, you cant argue with that.

Agree. I don't see relegation at all as a cause for Tony Fernandes to leave. (From a fan point of view)

Those tweets would sound ominous if I was Colin reading them.
Having said that, I doubt very much that any tweets do not reflect what has actually been said in the office. Both parties are well aware of the situation and apparently obvious outcome.
It's not sacking Colin that concerns me, it's who the hell we would get as a replacement. Clearly it would seem we do not have to worry about financial concerns any more (yeah right) but the costs and upheaval would be immense!

thats no relief, thats a disaster. no f***ing plan B! I meant the bit dispelling the paper talk about no money being available!  The rest is worrying and almost sounds like conceeding defeat already, still wouldnt want him gone at all if we did go down...maybe he just wants to finally go to west ham (who will probably go up!) |

I don't think he meant he would leave if we were relegated, he meant if he hasn't done what he set out to do with the club then he might leave. I wouldn't get worries about TF leaving, it won't happen soon |

Strange interepretation of what Fernandes said. Not at all How I read it as a defense of/vote of confidence in Warnock London 24 QPR owner Tony Fernandes responds to Neil Warnock rumours Friday, January 6, 2012 10:05 AM Tony Fernandes has taken to Twitter to defend manager Neil Warnock .. QPR owner Tony Fernandes has backed Neil Warnock on Twitter. The Caterham F1 boss had been rumoured to be unwilling to give the manager any money for transfers in January. However the 47-year-old has taken to the popular social networking site to deny these claims. "Guys at QPR. There is no freeze of cash," he tweeted. "Don't listen to ambiguous press reports. We are disappointed where we are in the league. This is a journey not s sprint. "Along the way we learn. But we continue to develop and along the way hard decisions need to be made. "But we never stop moving. Never." www.london24.com/sport/championship/qpr_2_5433/qpr_owner_tony_fernandes_responds_to_neil_warnock_rumours_1_1170302 |

i read it like that as well maude. ill give it my all, and if it aint good enough im off. looks like hes only interested in a premiership club with the money hes splashing around and the publicity he requires for his airline. i reckon he will be gone like a shot if we are down by feb/march.  |
