Michael Dawson would be an excellent signing for QPR



The Premier League Owl We wrote about this from Tottenham’s perspective earlier today, so now how would any potential deal for Michael Dawson benefit Queens Park Rangers? Hugely. The reason Dawson is no longer a regular at Tottenham, is because he’s not quite good enough to be playing in the top-6 – he’s maybe a yard […]

Mark Hughes closer to destroying his myth at QPR



The Premier League Owl I enjoy Mark Hughes’ failure. There, I said it. It’s nothing to do with QPR, more that he’s just an ex-Manchester United player who seems to exist as manager because of having played at Old Trafford. He’s a marginally more successful Steve Bruce. Rangers are an affluent club, and Tony Fernand […]

Roque Santa Cruz open to QPR move



The Premier League Owl If this headline had appeared three years ago, then QPR fans would have every reason to be excited – as it is, Roque Santa Cruz now only represents a drain on resources. That may sound harsh, but the player is living and breathing example of what a bad move can do to a good career. Anyway, he’s had this to […]

Craig Bellamy heading towards reunion at QPR?



The Premier League Owl This has come out of left-field a bit, as we all just assumed that Craig Bellamy would be joining Cardiff after the Olympics. Not so, according to The Sun, who think the Welsh international is headed for Loftus Road and a reunion with Mark Hughes. It’s from The Sun, so the usual disclaimers regarding fabrication […]

Park Ji-Sung signs for QPR – thoughts



The Premier League Owl People will be cynical about this, and say that signing Park-Ji Sung is a commercial decision from Tony Fernandes and Mark Hughes, but this is a very shrewd bit of football business. Picking a seasoned Premier League performer like the South Korean for £5m is a good deal, end of story. What Park brings to Loftus Road i […]

Thoughts on QPR signing Andy Johnson



The Premier League Owl It’s hard to get that excited about this. Presumably, when Mark Hughes and his backroom team sat down at the end of last season, they would have identified the areas in the team which needed strengthening in order to avoid another relegation scrap in 2012/13. How does signing Andy Johnson upgrade QPR? Nobody can […]

Rumoured QPR target Henrique



Rumoured QPR target Henrique A bit speculative this one, but there’s been more than one report linking 20-year-old Sao Paolo starlet with a move to Queens Park Rangers. Jason Burt had the story in The Telegraph yesterday, and a couple of tabloids picked up on it today. The Brazilian would certainly be very expensive, but would tick the box labelled ‘marquee […]

Concerns should exist over Mark Hughes having a big budget at QPR



When anybody in football talks about ‘ambition’, I think we all know by now that they’re really talking about ‘money’. So when Mark Hughes left Fulham citing a lack of ambition on the banks of the Thames, he was really referring to the lack of transfer funds made available to him. It’s not hard to see why […]

Guessing QPR’s transfer activity under Mark Hughes



Okay, so Tony Fernandes is pretty confident that he’ll have his man by the end of today apparently, which will give Mark Hughes 21 days to reshape his squad and equip it for Premier League survival. Who’s staying, who’s going, and who’s coming in. Neil Warnock hasn’t built a bad squad, but it’s deficient […]

QPRs treatment of Neil Warnock sours the positive first impression of Tony Fe…



I like QPR, I like the club, I like the ground, and I like what Tony Fernandes stands for; the owner who craves success rather than just notoriety. A lot of what Fernandes does is good for the club, the spending obviously, but the interaction with the supporters and his seeming understanding of what it is to be a fan. This Neil Warnock busi […]
