Unless Remy and M’Vila go down with QPR.. I’m sure there are relegation clauses in the contracts

The difference is both Remy and Mvila (if he comes) will both have very good sell on value which will be more than what was paid.

That is the total opposite of every Hughes signing (bar Mbia and Granero) in which old players have come for one last contract. eg Johnson, Zamora, Cisse, Boswinga etc

Why have I not seen that quote before? Has redknapp ever been to a club and not spent all their money?

Firstly, I wish people would stop saying “a touch of the Portsmouth’s) or “QPR will do a Pompey”. The situations between the two clubs is completely different and not comparable. But hey, nothing like a bit of sensationalism in today’s world of journalism.

Sure, QPR could go bust but it wouldn’t be for the same reasons as Pompey’s plight.

They owed something like £18m+ to the HMRC, we don’t. They owed £millions to a number of ex-owners, we don’t. They owe £millions to hundreds of businesses, big & small, we don’t. All our debt is in-house to the owners, just like at Chelsea and Fulham. They only way we’ll go bust is if they decide to fold the club to avoid paying the debts. This is not like Portsmouth.

Secondly… “So much for not paying those big wages, eh ‘Arry?” Managers don’t set the transfer fees or wages, that is done between the clubs and the agents (who should be outlawed IMO or at very least, the players should pay the fees out of their own pocket for THEIR agent) etc.
A Manager will identify what players he’s after and it’s up to the club to either back the manager (as we did with Hughes and that backfired) or decline to pay those amounts.

As for the players themselves, there’s no doubt they have potential and ability but so do dozens of other players who sign for clubs. Either its success or they turn out to be right old lemons who trouser tens of thousands of pounds per week and do nothing.

QPR will be the new Portsmouth and go bankrupt.

If anyone doubts that, have a quick skim of this – particularly the bits about their wage-to-turnover ratio being 183% in 2010-11 (BEFORE they gave huge contracts to Bosingwa, Cesar, Cisse, Park, Remy et al). For comparison, in the same season Man City’s ratio was a cushy 114%.
