Inside information regards QPR, only people that know are the board, the staff, the management and the players.
Journalists, agents and people posing as ITK on football forums, generally know diddly squat, but does not stop them sharing their knowledge or otherwise known as unproven speculation or in other polite language - a mistruth !!!
A pal from uni started working at QPR about 3 years after we graduated. I thought internet stardom beckoned as a conduit for all the juice I'd get. All he ever had was the odd selfie with players and "No one really tells me anything about the football side of things tbh". I was crestfallen

Taking a position of being ITK is an interesting thing.
You could look at it from the noble angle of sharing intelligence to inform the uniformed of what is going on for their benefit.
Alternatively, it is more about getting attention, taking a position of superiority/authority, or both.
Places like Twitter do seem to be more about the latter but whilst their are people ready to eat it up, there will be people more than willing to feed them and their egos.

Well actually outside is 0 degrees. Fridge is between 1.5 and 3.5 degrees.
When I was a student, the house I lived in got so cold (it only had two electric fires and a portable heater, nothing else) that the fridge once switched itself off. The kitchen had become so cold that it was no longer any warmer than the inside of the fridge.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I bet you gave the landlord a chilly reception

Ha! Yes I had a similar experience while at uni in Birmingham, left it late finding a house for the second year, found somewhere reasonable but without central heating!! Using the bathroom in winter was character building.

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

Ha, well, my friend shared the house with me and ironically, his parents owned it
While we are on this subject, one of my mates used to rent a large, old detached house, on his own. He went on a skiing holiday and returned to find that the water in the toilet had - literally - frozen. Ugh.
It was another one of those houses with no central heating and just a few electric bar fires. I stayed there once and it was so cold he gave me a spare sleeping bag to put my own sleeping bag inside. Bracing.

I had to do a fair amount of research to get a decent fridge freezer that I could put in the garage. Surprisingly my Beko can operate in temperatures as low as -15 deg and works very well. I have another one in a lean-to that stops working on nights like last night, so freezer compartment needs to be checked. The gas boiler is also there, but has a frost switch so came on last night and we woke up ice and warm - but smart meter tells me it cost a lot!
