Well, QPR have to go hard for the win. Draws won't save them. Should be fairly good!
0-0 draw it is then.
I think draws/losses is the way for QPR to be saved, wins will screw them.
If they get relegated, Samba will have some "I can haz leave for 5 mil" clause, and he'll leave, but so will his massive wage, and I'd imagine the same for a lot of they guys they bought since promotion. I can seriously see them making a smaller loss after relegation after half the team is sold on, than if they stay in the prem.
Theres more money in the prem, but if they have a wage bill of 70mil, and make a 30-40mil loss in the prem, but if they get relegated, wage bill goes down to 25mil and only make a 10mil loss, which is more sustainable.
I personally think QPR have put themselves in an awful position where staying up is as or more dangerous than going down. Of course, it depends entirely on the owner, will he bankroll massive losses every year?
I bet you Harry has said "look at how City/Chelsea's income increased as they spent", but they don't have the team for getting high up the table, the stadium capacity for decent income, and without either of those they won't get good sponsorship deals. Its basically suicidal what they've done because afaik Fernandes does't have anywhere near the money required to prop QPR up to the tune of 20mil + losses a year unless he wants to spend literally all of his money.

We looked clueless going forwards so I think QPR are going to beat us.
EDIT: I hope I'm wrong though as I hate QPR more than I hate every other team in the world(including Ipswich) combined.
