No offence, but FFS!!
If you're going to cite wholesale deregulation of the financial industry standard rules, where disasters ensued, then yeah And you might as well throw in similar situations for the environmental degradation that's taken place, too.
However, that's not what we're talking about here is it?
We are talking about some person/body with 'oversight' and we are not talking about the equivalent of the football 'gold standard' here, either. We are, however, talking about the likes of: ofwat, ofgen, ofcom, the myriad of health regulatory bodies, and so forth.
Thus, and for the avoidance of doubt: are there any consistent examples of such persons/bodies doing regulatory work that the public is confident in, for which we could extrapolate some belief that a footy regulator would do likewise?
I had to deal with the CQC last couple of years. A complete joke, and tick box exercise at best. There's a water regulator, in the UK, and I doubt many believe the country's water system is good.
Hence, my suspicion as to the effectiveness of a football regulator. |

I'd wager now, that the 'consulting' will see the clubs point to the fact they sell many seats at lower prices and while taking on board the fans views, here's your prices: take it or leave it!
I asked earlier if there are any examples of effective regulators in other areas, none seen yet. I suspect that the football regulator will be the source of sternly worded leters, expressing disappointment at outcomes, and little in the way of action, rendering fans breathless with awe.
Just by the by, I looked on Munich's website and while no doubt you can get a ST £143, is that seating or standing? You can also pay up to €80 for a match ticket rising to €130 if its a European Cup match. So, Harry isn't giving them all away for zilch. https://fcbayern.com/en/tickets/info/prices-and-concessions |

'Champagne Supernova' just drones on and on for me, and I never saw 'Don't Look Back in Anger' as anything other than dirge.
I liked the Beatles' cover of Oasis', 'I am the Walrus' for some bizarre reason. You could clearly see how the cheeky scousers had ripped off their Mancunian neighbours. |

Yang next season ?? by numptydumpty 2 Mar 8:36Is Yang here next season ??
Can only assume he is, as the loan makes no sense otherwise ...
Definitely a player there as a very young man, but we have depth in the three behind.
Won't be good enough for Spurs next season but they paid a reasonable amount for him, so for me, I am assuming it's an 18 month loan and not just the last half of this season.
What do others think ???
Glossary: Surely we don't need a naver thread... |

Oh goody, another government regulator.
How have regulator's worked out in other areas? Anyone able to point to tangible benefits passed on to the people?
Football unable to regulate itself. Governments rarely capable of governing properly: What could possibly go wrong?
My money is on it being a load of old monkey pooh, and I bet SLF is in the frame for it!! |

Thread | Old QPR match programmes - if you can pick them up
at 15:18 5 Mar 2025
House clearing and have around 170 QPR programmes to give to anyone who's prepared to pick them up in the UB6 area.
One each from 1959 and 1960, the rest predominately from 70s and 80s.
DM if interested. |

Given all the variables, I wonder if they've thought of having mobile sellers?
See a lot at sports events in Canada, Mexico, and the bit in-between; which diffuses tension at the fixed buying points. If they just selling bottles, it only needs a poor minimum waged youth to stroll around or, where such isn't possible (Upper SAR) base themselves in the stairwells area to sell the club's pizzle water. |

I see JDV is winning friends and influencing.
Saying UKR will be better off with the US involved in their economy then relying on random countries who've not fought in 30 or 40 years.
Only thing is you prick, you've not been winning them have you!! |

My pleasure. Here's hoping tomorrow's reflection is spicy and depraved, so as to leave the local WI shocked! |

I stopped reading after this: 'Last night I was reflecting on the highly charged discussion in the Trump/Zelensky thread...' and immediately hit 'Add reply'.
Assuming you're not in prison, then FFS man, go outside and stop wasting life pondering the machinations of a message board. And a QPR one at that!
Promise me you'll not stay in tonight to have a deeper, belated, dive into the Jimmy Dunne thread. |

Blimey, I also went to Douay!
I'm going back next week to do a careers talk, which I guess you wouldn't do if you hated the place or your time there. Alas, my year are having a meeting in July, but I can't make it. |

Allow me to repeat myself: there are too many egos and idiots in positions of power. Indulge me further: ignoramuses, too.
JD Vance is getting away lightly here, he encompases all three traits, and as was evident, doesn't know what he's talking about!
When I see Musk and Vance, part of me always feels Trump is being played by smarter people than him. Allow me to repeat myself again: Trump is one thing, and the religious right that will follow him is far more scarier. I see JDV as being every bit as dangerous as I do Musk.
Europe really needs to get its act together. We have more power than we know, but I'm not confident we have a person(s) who can truly harness us it. Either way, it was a very good day for Russia and China, and at least two people involved in the childush spat are too stupid to realise this! |
