Hi Hubble - unable to recommend anyone as per your request but I have both bought and sold businesses in the past in similar circumstances. When I sold a business I was advised NOT to accept a three stage payment as in the majority of cases you never get the second and third payment. Hindsight, is a wonderful thing and guess what my advisor was quite right, never got my money. Company ended up going bust (unlike your brother I was nothing to do with the business once I sold) but people who had worked for me told me they were awful people to work for.
I bought another business so the shoe was on the other foot but I gave personal guarantees the money would be paid by either the business or me.
I am sure your brother would have guarantees in place, not sure that will help but wish him very good luck. |

Thread | Roll on Monday night
at 15:26 31 Aug 2025
Personally I cannot wait until Monday night when the transfer window shuts. I know it makes reading BUT thread after thread, page after page based on nothing but pure conjecture, clickbait, opinions, then going completely off track.
Does it make good reading? Not really. Do I read most of it? Yes. Am I bored to tears with it all? Yes.
Think we have had a very good window and now just want to sit back enjoy the ride, good, bad or indifferent and see where we are come January.
Let's just remember we are all QPR fans, we are all perfectly entitled to an opinion, appreciate the hard work that goes into running this site and please show respect to each other.
PS Great win yesterday!!!! |

When Mark played for QPR I was lucky that after the games along with my dad we were invited into the players lounge while we waited for them to get changed. Hi mother used to sit on a big chair in the corner, she like Mark was a wonderful person who although I was only a child always spoke to me along with him.
Great memories, great man, great player. RIP Mark |

Reply | New manager bottom of the barrel
at 13:47 5 Jun 2025
Quite a few years ago the company I worked for was taken over by a 'group' - the people running this group were, how can I say, not very nice people (I will leave it there). In was MD and reported to the group board of directors.
We did very well, made money and everyone was happy, then some of the decisions being made by them reflected very badly on our business but was it their fault? no, it was all mine. So, one day I went into the office as normal, called into the board room and was told that I was to go home, hand over my keys, would be on full pay whilst a full investigation had taken place. I was not under any circumstances allowed to have any contact with any staff members and clients. I asked how long would this take and was told, it will take as long as it takes!!
So off I went on garden leave and just sit and wait. Approximately five weeks later I was told to attend a meeting at an off site location. I attended this meeting and was told that I had done nothing wrong, the business not performing was not of my making, was offered a bonus payment, and my job re-instated with a pay increase.
I accepted, we shook hands and I returned to work, all of my staff were pleased that I was back as were our clients. I hated them for putting me through all the worry etc and I had already plotted my revenge. After 8 months, I held all the cards and bought the business from them, happiest day of my life telling them to F*ck right off.
What has this got to do with MC - nothing except, being put on garden leave is not always the end of the road and people do get their jobs back. I like him and would be happy to see him return. |

Having supported the Hoops for close on 60 years there have been many decisions that have left me wondering what is going on - I can forgive Tony F for spunking his and the Premier League bounty as he was only really trying to do his best and got his pants pulled down. I can forgive giving Redknapp the job, I can forgive giving Hughes the job, I get and understand being mugged off by boil face and although it is not a great advert fore the club - I really cannot forgive this complete shit show.
What must the players be thinking or do they even care? Are we missing something? Is he also a snake in the grass, one thing for sure this does not bode well for the future of much loved club. MB was a snake and that was nothing to do with the club - that shit show was on him, this is different, if the manager had a good working relationship with the board etc (or one person) leaving the club at this point would not even be in his head. It is going to be a very tough next few weeks/months. |

Appreciate this in not QPR but sorry to hear about the sad passing of the West Ham midfielder Ronnie Boyce. I knew him and his wife Dawn as they were friends of my parents and I can honestly say he was one of the nicest people I have ever known. Very underrated player.
RIP Ronnie |

Ole Gunnar Solskjar did it after scoring a goal for Man U in a European Cup final and basically ended his playing days. Sorry it is utter madness.
Many years ago I badly dislocated my knee playing in a game, no way back for me after that and the pain was off the scale. I cringe every time I see any player do it. |

Please, please please can someone at the club Marti or anyone tell the players to stop sliding on their knees when a goal is scored. Noticed the young lads were also doing it tonight in the cup match. Trust me it will fu*k your knees - just stop it ad stop it now.
Rant over. |

The news last night was very emotional, what those poor men went through was god awful. It was made worse for me as my 98 year old mum passed away a couple of weeks ago and yesterday was her funeral. I made reference in my short tribute to her that people of her generation had awful childhoods being evacuated at a young age, apart from their parents and brothers or sisters then joining the army etc.
We owe these hero's big time - total love and respect to all of our older generation. |

My youngest grandson is only 7 and shows promise as a player, not sure how good he will be in the future as players develop at different ages. He plays up a year and has already played matches against Ipswich, Tottenham and Crystal Palace academy team at their training grounds, which is fantastic experience for the young boys.
They have, quite rightly in my view, stopped them heading the ball. It was quite difficult to begin with (and is still not perfect) as when a throw on takes place his natural instinct is to attack the ball and win the header. He is not alone in that respect but gradually the boys have adapted to this new way of playing football and very soon it will not be a problem.
However, if this is going to be the norm then the boys at this age should take a kick on or a dribble on when the ball goes out of play. To continue with a throw just does not make sense. Anyone else agree/disagree? |

I have to say totally agree with OP. Look at Bacuna today, he was in my opinion the best player on the pitch along with our Jimmy. Held the ball up, looked to create chances and looked to score. |

I took my two grandsons to Ipswich today and my god Sheffield Wednesday were so, so, bad. They completely gave up just after half time. Ipswich were good but not outstanding but were far too good for them. They must go down with Rotherham so one place up for grabs. |

We have/had a run of tough games in a short space of time - Leicester, West Brom, Boro and Sunderland away. Now that we have added to the squad with a bit more quality and the injury problems we have had in the past appear to have been resolved Marti has been very smart in resting players but as already mentioned Chair has not been rested and must be worn out. He always puts in a shift no matter how well or not he plays. The court case must be on his mind so, for me, hats off to the lad. Well done son. |

Reply | Marathon Walk
at 13:58 20 Feb 2024
Happy to make a contribution.
I did the Shine walk a few years ago to raise money for cancer research after my sister passed away with kidney cancer. Have to say great atmosphere and support from other walkers.
Can I please give you a few of tips:
Make sure you get some miles in before you do the walk.
Walking a marathon is almost more difficult than running as you will be on your feet for so much longer (took us close on 9.5 hours).
Please ensure you wear decent walking trainers that you have used to do the miles prior to the walk.
Wear decent walking socks, smother your feet with vaseline before putting on your socks and DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES take off your footwear before you have completed the walk.
I wish you the best of luck. |
