QPR...could they disappear?

They've just posted a huge financial loss from their efforts to stay in the Prem last season. They have committed another huge effort to make an instantaneous return but their results are deteriorating and they're falling off the pace.

If their 'sugar daddy' pulls the plug, assuming they fail to get promotion, could we see a Championship side going into administration?

With their ex-Spurs players and 'Arry at the helm, would there be a lot of sympathy from SC and the Spurs wider community? Would it set a precedent and hurt football in general?

What do you mean a "precedent"? Hardly the first club to go into administration.

QPR are on the verge of "doing a Leeds", certainly, but I doubt Fernandes is about to pull the plug after two consecutive seasons of massive investment - in my opinion, he would be mad to as well. The team they have is simply under performing - they have more than enough talent in there to get themselves back into the Prem and there they would receive the big money again, allowing them to invest a little in some more senior players to keep them up this time.

I could quite easily see Rio ending up there if they make it back up, automatic or play offs, it doesn't matter really. If Fulham do end up going down, i also see them having another go for Parker and possibly poach a couple of others from whichever teams go down.

No, i think even if they do get stuck with another term in the Champs then there'll at least be one more year to sort it out and get them back in the top flight.

One win in seven, 17 points behind Leicester, only seven points ahead of Brighton in 7th. Fortunately for them their remaining fixtures are predominantly against teams in the bottom half so they should at least make the playoffs. It's almost as if Harry's team has capitulated from February onwards...
