0:02:02 > 0:02:04At the moment, I see QPR as a disaster.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08I don't see nothing else and now what I'm looking for is change.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34My target is to be in the Premier in four years' time.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46QPR represented for us a very strong brand

0:02:46 > 0:02:47with a rich history and tradition

0:02:47 > 0:02:51and, you know, we just saw enormous potential

0:02:51 > 0:02:53for something that we could take

0:02:53 > 0:02:54that had a lot of the basics correct.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Football is not only 11 people playing in the field, you know?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02It's something more. It's a club, it's a brand as well.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05We want to have international fans as well.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10QPR and the new owners are the talk of the town and we want to be associated with them

0:03:10 > 0:03:13because they're highly ambitious, highly professional

0:03:13 > 0:03:18and they want to build and bring QPR into the Champions League. This is where Gulf Air wants to be.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22We want to consolidate the club. The moment we go up, we want to stay up

0:03:22 > 0:03:26and we need a little bit of patience from everybody -

0:03:26 > 0:03:28including the sponsor.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think it is very encouraging for the club.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34With Gulf Air's involvement, I believe we are truly moving towards

0:03:34 > 0:03:36promoting an international brand.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08The problem here, really,

0:05:08 > 0:05:12we not scored, because... You see TV? Rowlands!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14- It was a stupid miss.- My God.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17If I play, I put this goal. THEY LAUGH

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- No, but Rowlands. Nobody in front. - It's unbelievable.- Unbelievable.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24That was a really, really terrible miss.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26The last two games, we've had this problem.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31If we start to score, we'll do fantastic. The problem is, we have to put the ball in the net.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35The problem is if you don't put the balls in the net, forget it.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Oh, Flavio, look! There's you on the cover!

0:05:46 > 0:05:50That's so cool! Flavio and Bernie! But Bernie looks like Mini-Me!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh, my God, it IS Mini-Me!

0:05:52 > 0:05:53THEY LAUGH

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh, that's classic!

0:05:55 > 0:06:00We have to get one of those, man! You've got to frame it.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01FANS CHANT

0:06:05 > 0:06:08COMMENTATOR: 'There's Iain Dowie

0:06:08 > 0:06:12'and somewhere in the crowd today watching him is Flavio Briatore,

0:06:12 > 0:06:14'one of the motor-racing moguls

0:06:14 > 0:06:18'who is in charge of QPR. Just adds to the pressure a little bit,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20'with all the money around at QPR...'

0:06:29 > 0:06:31'Rowlands...'

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Fucking idiot, man!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39'Good run into the channel here by O'Connor.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Back into the middle...'

0:06:55 > 0:06:58I don't know, it's not good at the moment.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00You've got to get us right to go with it. You know that.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02We ain't doing nothing.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I'm not trying to badger you, I'm sorry.- No, no! It's a conversation!

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Briatore sacked Dowie for three days.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Oi, can you do us a favour? Can you get him to sack him forever?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16AMIT LAUGHS

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- All the best, all the best. - Thank you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Look after the side and we'll love you.- We'll try.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Cheers.- Thanks.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- What did you think? - Second half was better.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38We played well in the first five or six games, super.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Last four games has been horrible. - That's what I'm saying.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48He's got to understand that we have to work together.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's not just him to make a decision.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Yeah, there's no strategy.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Shoot!- Shoot!- Go! Go!

0:08:16 > 0:08:18THEY GROAN

0:11:15 > 0:11:18PRESENTER: 'One manager who won't be involved in the live game,

0:11:18 > 0:11:22'Saturday evening at 5:15, QPR against Reading, is Iain Dowie,

0:11:22 > 0:11:26'sacked by QPR today after just 15 games in charge.'

0:11:26 > 0:11:28What it does is create uncertainty,

0:11:28 > 0:11:32and uncertainty and instability in a club are terrible things.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35That's what me and you think, mate.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38But it's not the real world any more, is it?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Lads, come on, let's get our jobs done, duties done, please.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Get the training ground clear.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yep!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Go on, there you go!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16TRANSLATED FROM ITALIAN:

0:13:29 > 0:13:32FANS CHANT

0:13:32 > 0:13:34If you read all the bits in the paper -

0:13:34 > 0:13:36everyone says you're picking the team,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38you've got a tactics board, is any of this true?

0:13:38 > 0:13:43I believe you need to have a discussion and after, it's the technical people decide.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45We won with Birmingham, ten men,

0:13:45 > 0:13:48it was really, really good stuff.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51We lost to Ipswich because I was not there to pick the team.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52INTERVIEWER LAUGHS

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Fabio, we'll need to cut down on all this expenditure.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- I know.- Bloody fortune. - This is very expensive.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07How much do we fucking want it this year, eh?

0:14:07 > 0:14:10How much do we want to do fucking well, eh?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12This is a fucking big test today.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17Make sure we're fucking working harder than they are.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24TRANSLATED FROM ITALIAN:

0:15:15 > 0:15:16APPLAUSE

0:15:29 > 0:15:30THEY CHEER

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah! Yeah!

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- PAULO:- Good morning, guys.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12From the beginning of our project we're talking about QPR.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16We looking always for the right man in the right position.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20Everybody knows I was not happy at all with the coach we have,

0:16:20 > 0:16:22for different reasons.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's not only 11 people and one ball goes around the field.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29You see clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, etcetera.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31You see Milan with Capello and that.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34You need somebody integrating completely with the football club.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39This is the reason why I'm happy to have Paulo with us.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm sure you guys will give 100% because it's the interest of QPR

0:16:42 > 0:16:45and the interest of the single person to be successful.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50So, now my chat is finished and it's down to him.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Thanks for your confidence in me.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57I now believe in your project. I believe in this project

0:16:57 > 0:16:59and everyone needs to believe in it.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04What I want from you, you need to always give the best.

0:17:04 > 0:17:10I need to see in all of you ambitions, work and loyalty.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Loyalty. It's very important to me.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16What I want to see, not only in the training sessions,

0:17:16 > 0:17:21but out of the training sessions, you looking to be better each day.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25OK?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Thank you.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09I wrote a note to myself which was

0:18:09 > 0:18:11the fans of this club feel distanced

0:18:11 > 0:18:15from the new ownership and the new management and the new board.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18This is a family club and we're sort of losing the family feeling.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21The thing that drew us to the club

0:18:21 > 0:18:24was the family atmosphere and that this was a good club.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28I think at times the word "boutique" was used by us,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30and the fans haven't liked it

0:18:30 > 0:18:33or it's been interpreted in a certain way.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37At no point was that supposed to give the wrong impression.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39It may have, I'm not saying it hasn't,

0:18:39 > 0:18:42because we found ourselves in a position today

0:18:42 > 0:18:46where we have to rebuild the trust of the fans and become close again.

0:18:46 > 0:18:53The fighting quality at the beginning of the season did alienate a number of long-standing fans.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57I know a number that didn't renew, not just for economic reasons.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Some felt that the club was leaving them,

0:18:59 > 0:19:04and there is that perceived idea now that we're becoming greedy.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07The game is a working class game, predominantly,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10and if we do not address the overpricing of tickets,

0:19:10 > 0:19:12attendances will start to drop.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14A lot of people are just not coming,

0:19:14 > 0:19:17not because they don't want to come, because they can't afford to.

0:19:17 > 0:19:23Can I say one thing? I hope the good times are coming.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33No, we sent the new circle out. One, two, three, four.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Ten points, we must get ten points.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38You can get ten points from those games.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Should be Preston. Preston or at home.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Charlton should beat them, Stoke should beat them. And Coventry City.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50Why not put the ball in net? This year is unbelievable.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Away from all this is unbelievable.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03CROWD CHEERS

0:20:06 > 0:20:09We only got two striker at the moment.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13CROWD GROANS

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Away, we haven't looked like scoring.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17We are the Rangers boys!

0:20:19 > 0:20:20HE SHOUTS IN ANGER

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Unbelievable. What the hell? We need to score a goal away from home.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's 12 hours now.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54CROWD CHEERS

0:21:01 > 0:21:03From now on we must not make any more mistakes.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08No!

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Fuck.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Everybody else expects us to do well, but it's not easy,

0:21:19 > 0:21:22cos this is one of the toughest leagues in world football.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24It's so hard to get out of it.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- REPORTER: How many new players do you want?- The correct ones.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40No. No, don't talk with me. Don't talk with me, please.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Don't talk with me. Don't talk with me.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm under pressure because Flavio wants this thing to happen,

0:21:45 > 0:21:47and it has to happen or they get the sack.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59CROWD BOOS

0:22:13 > 0:22:15All the cuts in the stadium is done.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- ON PHONE:- 'That's flats, cars...

0:22:33 > 0:22:36'You've got remember you've got Dalby and Sousa at the moment,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38'so that will come down significantly

0:22:38 > 0:22:41'if the Dalby compromise agreement is solved.'

0:22:47 > 0:22:50£2 million if we don't... We save half a million there.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Five and 16 is 21. 21.5 to 22.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57If we get 16 we need to find £6 million.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00We did 38 this year, with all the expenses and everything.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02It's huge this year.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05How do we have such a huge difference?

0:23:05 > 0:23:08The stadium, players...

0:23:08 > 0:23:11We invested a lot in players and paying debts from the past.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think we're going to have a big problem selling

0:23:18 > 0:23:21- any more sponsorships in this market.- Why?

0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Who's going to buy sponsorships in this market?- Maybe push it.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29- People aren't paying their bills just now.- It would push a sponsor.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Additional money there. That's another £1.5 million.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Plus the half a million more of television, maybe a million.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I think, pushing, pushing, we're going to do 20.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42CROWD BOOS

0:23:55 > 0:23:58COMMENTATOR: Queen's Park Rangers' attack fizzles out.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20When a coach starts in the middle of the season,

0:24:20 > 0:24:24with the principles and the choice for players from other ones,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27it's difficult to have assurance 100%.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32But I recognise to achieve important targets

0:24:32 > 0:24:35we need a bit more individual quality.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Individual mistakes, for a coach it's not easy,

0:24:38 > 0:24:42and for a board it's not easy sometimes to understand it.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46But they exist and they cost a lot of points in our situation.

0:24:46 > 0:24:51Today, you can feel the team better organised,

0:24:51 > 0:24:55and the mistakes becoming more from individual mistakes.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59It's what I want to tell you.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03Don't tell me the quality, because the qualities are still in this Championship.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06We have much quality and much more points.

0:25:06 > 0:25:13Every match we play, 4-4-2, 4-4-2, 4-4-2, 4-4-2, 4-4-2, 4-4-2...

0:25:13 > 0:25:20- This is my opinion. - I don't see these games for that,

0:25:20 > 0:25:25- because different coach, different players... - This is not the question.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27What you tell me is low quality.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31If we don't have quality this year, we sell a million more.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36Last year, we have the club finishing in the back of the Championship.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- What is that?- When I arrived here I started to play with two strikers.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42I play always with... Some games I play with three strikers.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45At the end of the day, we know what the problem is.

0:25:45 > 0:25:50We get 0-7-7, 4-4-1, 5-6-7, 8-2-1...

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- If we don't put the ball in the net, we don't win the game.- Of course.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Last year, we won, we lose, we won, we won, we lose, we lose.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00The point to losing and drawing isn't the same, is one point.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04I prefer five draw, two winning is better.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37CROWD CHANTS

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Knee up! Knee up! Go!

0:26:51 > 0:26:53CROWD CHEERS

0:26:55 > 0:26:57- MAN IN CROWD:- Fuck off!

0:27:03 > 0:27:04INAUDIBLE

0:27:31 > 0:27:34You've got to go upstairs. Got go up on the stands.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Referee's sending you. You've got no choice.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Thanks, lads.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Are you happy to answer questions about being sent off?

0:28:14 > 0:28:16They will ask.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26I don't know. The fans were asking for him,

0:28:26 > 0:28:29but I don't know if it's going loan or...

0:28:31 > 0:28:35I give the players two days off after the game against Bristol.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38When I come back, Dexter, he coming to me,

0:28:38 > 0:28:42and after Mr Paladini said to me, "He goes in loan."

0:28:42 > 0:28:44How frustrating is it for you to give players time off

0:28:44 > 0:28:47and then to come back and find your star player not here?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Like I said from the first day,

0:28:49 > 0:28:52I need to adapt myself for what I have

0:28:52 > 0:28:55and try to do the best things with the players I have.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01He said he came in to see him. He didn't say that.

0:29:01 > 0:29:06No, he did. Dexter came to see me cos he wanted to go.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10The decision was made by the board above his head to let Blackstock go.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Eh...

0:31:49 > 0:31:51No doubt about the big breaking story,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Paulo Sousa's been sacked as manager of Queens Park Rangers...

0:31:54 > 0:31:57Hundreds of e-mails coming in from you QPR fans...

0:31:57 > 0:32:00"I'm disgusted, disillusioned, ashamed and embarrassed..."

0:32:00 > 0:32:02"We are the laughing stock of the Championship."

0:32:02 > 0:32:04"..the circus that QPR has become."

0:32:04 > 0:32:08They talk about the four-year plan, they have a four-minute plan.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10"Season ticket prices are ridiculous."

0:32:10 > 0:32:11"I have torn up my season ticket."

0:33:37 > 0:33:43BOOING

0:33:56 > 0:33:57I love you, Flavio.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03We love you, Flavio.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Listen, Flavio, you saved us. You saved us.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12We love you.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23You saved us two years ago, yeah?

0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Let's think about today.- Right.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29No, no.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- CHANTING:- We want our Rangers back! We want our Rangers back!

0:35:21 > 0:35:26# You will never come close to how I feel... #

0:35:52 > 0:35:53Hello.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Jimmy! How are you, Jimmy?!

0:35:58 > 0:36:01HE LAUGHS

0:36:01 > 0:36:04You've got to get used to me, you know, Jimmy?

0:36:06 > 0:36:08You know, with Flavio...

0:36:08 > 0:36:12Flavio, you know, he speak very highly of you, you know?

0:36:12 > 0:36:17He say that you'll be perfect to work with us, you know?

0:36:17 > 0:36:20These people are wonderful, you know? When we are winning,

0:36:20 > 0:36:23I tell you this now, you couldn't be in a better place.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26It's a proper football club, I've always enjoyed it.

0:36:26 > 0:36:27I enjoy the atmosphere,

0:36:27 > 0:36:31I enjoy the fact that the fans are very much hands-on.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36I will be trying to grow that. If you're successful,

0:36:36 > 0:36:39crowds will come back and success will surely follow.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41This is a club that wants to go places.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46I'm better looking than Iain Dowie but not as good-looking

0:36:46 > 0:36:48as Paulo Sousa, is that what you're trying to say?!

0:36:48 > 0:36:49LAUGHTER

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Ready to go, lad, all ready to go.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26I think you're the eighth or ninth - I've lost count - manager in three-and-a-bit years.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30What enticed you both to go where braver men have since disappeared?

0:37:30 > 0:37:33You've got to say, "It won't happen to us."

0:37:33 > 0:37:36MUSIC: "Rope And Summit" by Junip

0:37:36 > 0:37:39# ..Got our rope and summit

0:37:39 > 0:37:42# But we need to wake up... #

0:37:42 > 0:37:43FULL TIME WHISTLE

0:37:43 > 0:37:46BOOING

0:37:46 > 0:37:48It's a work in progress and obviously,

0:37:48 > 0:37:51certain players are coming to terms, still, with that.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56We get back on the training park and keep working,

0:37:56 > 0:37:57until we get it right.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01# ..Fog down below

0:38:02 > 0:38:05# Slipping is fine

0:38:05 > 0:38:08# As long as you don't fall

0:38:08 > 0:38:10# We've got our rope and summit... #

0:38:10 > 0:38:14We have raised the bar, and it was important that we did do that.

0:38:14 > 0:38:15I'm pleased, I am pleased.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26# ..Got our rope and summit

0:38:26 > 0:38:28# But we need to wake up... #

0:38:52 > 0:38:58# ..Still in the quiet morning breeze... #

0:38:58 > 0:39:02- COMMENTATOR:- There's no stopping the West London side at the moment.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04They are THE form team in the Championship.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08# ..Clues of a gathering storm... #

0:39:17 > 0:39:21So in flowers, the 10,000, the way it's being run right now,

0:39:21 > 0:39:25we're spending about £650-£700 per match on flowers,

0:39:25 > 0:39:29which is applied to the boxes, W12 and C Club.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31What I think is, if we keep the C Club flowers

0:39:31 > 0:39:36and we perhaps keep some boxes - Santander and Gulf Air, etcetera -

0:39:36 > 0:39:40the main guys, and we cut the flowers everywhere else, we will save about

0:39:40 > 0:39:42500 per match.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Absolutely, we should do that immediately.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48You're saying that saves 500 bucks per match, so over 24 games...

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Approximately 10,000.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51..you save about 10K. OK, fine.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54These internal areas that we discussed

0:39:54 > 0:39:57will probably save us about 220 per game.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01The saving on menu element in W12 - we've asked them to make a menu

0:40:01 > 0:40:04which instead of costing 10.55 per meal,

0:40:04 > 0:40:07is something which costs us £9 per meal.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09That will save us 372 per game, as well.

0:40:09 > 0:40:14I almost don't feel like, by reducing £10 to £9, we are committing a disservice,

0:40:14 > 0:40:17because I think that for a large part we were very generous,

0:40:17 > 0:40:21up until this point. It was almost unfeasibly generous.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24I think it can continue to look very impressive,

0:40:24 > 0:40:27and to give the right service, without being wasteful.

0:40:27 > 0:40:32All in all, Amit, that's the total potential savings.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35You still are looking at, just until the end of the season,

0:40:35 > 0:40:37about 375K of savings.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39I think that's all great. I think that's very good,

0:40:39 > 0:40:43and I'm glad there is no entries in here that say "player sales,"

0:40:43 > 0:40:47because when that's in the budget, it just angers me.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04- COMMENTATOR:- Fryatt in the middle, Oakley arriving, Fryatt!

0:41:05 > 0:41:07And he has punished!

0:41:07 > 0:41:08Leroy Lita scores.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Lovely run, deflected shot.

0:41:10 > 0:41:11O'Neil!

0:41:11 > 0:41:14It's a lovely run, it's a fabulous goal.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Cowie coming in on the back post! Oh!

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Beautifully done for Cowie!

0:41:30 > 0:41:34It's going to be Cleverley to clinch it!

0:41:36 > 0:41:40"Club statement: The club confirm that Jim Magilton has been suspended

0:41:40 > 0:41:43"with immediate effect, pending an internal investigation."

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Let's recap about the whole incident that happened,

0:41:46 > 0:41:48or is said to have happened, on Monday night,

0:41:48 > 0:41:51after that 3-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55There was some sort of altercation between the manager, Jim Magilton, and Akos Buzsaky.

0:42:30 > 0:42:35You were booed off. What do you make of that for your first home game?

0:42:35 > 0:42:39I don't know people, I don't know the supporters.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42I try not to let things like that play a part in

0:42:42 > 0:42:44or influence anything I do.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47But I think it's understandable expectations have been raised.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55I think when you've been in football a long time,

0:42:55 > 0:42:57and probably you've seen it as well,

0:42:57 > 0:43:01managing people's expectations is as important

0:43:01 > 0:43:02as managing the team.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05Or seems to be these days.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Hart's departures comes less than a month after he signed a deal

0:43:13 > 0:43:16to succeed Jim Magilton until the end of the season.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18He is the sixth full-time manager to leave the club in

0:43:18 > 0:43:22Flavio Briatore's two-and-a-half-year reign as chairman.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Mick Harford has been caretaker-manager previously,

0:43:25 > 0:43:28and must be one of the front-runners to take the job.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48# Briatore is a wanker Is a wanker

0:43:48 > 0:43:52- # Briatore is a wanker... # - Good first day, mate?

0:43:52 > 0:43:55# ..Briatore is a wanker Is a wanker

0:43:55 > 0:43:57# Briatore is a wanker Is a wanker. #

0:44:09 > 0:44:12# Four-year plan You're having a laugh

0:44:12 > 0:44:15# Four-year plan You're having a laugh. #

0:44:42 > 0:44:45We've had a bad run, but it's not unfixable yet.

0:44:45 > 0:44:46There's still a while to go.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48The reason we're doing this is to try and see

0:44:48 > 0:44:53if there's anything any way we can prevent this continuing any further.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22We need some more personal pride, we lost 1-0 at home to Scunthorpe

0:45:22 > 0:45:24and they're not like an Arsenal.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26To me, it's embarrassing losing at home to Scunthorpe.

0:45:26 > 0:45:29That's just not acceptable. We're too good for that.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32The same with Nottingham Forest, 5-0,

0:45:32 > 0:45:35our heads are down after 2-0 down, there's no fucking pride.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38No-one wants to smash no-one. We're just happy taking it.

0:46:08 > 0:46:16# Fuck Flavio, fuck Flavio Fuck Flavio... #

0:46:17 > 0:46:21# ..And we're going down. #

0:46:26 > 0:46:28Mick, much better second half than the first half.

0:46:28 > 0:46:34As a professional club, that first half performance wasn't acceptable.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36It was totally inept. Lacking everything.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39Lacking effort, lacking commitment,

0:46:39 > 0:46:42and that's what disappointed me more than anything.

0:48:03 > 0:48:07'I'm Simon Watts. Flavio Briatore has stepped down as chairman

0:48:07 > 0:48:10'of Queens Park Rangers Holdings.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12'Portsmouth manager Avram Grant...'

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Oh, well played.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56Come and have just one. Relax.

0:48:56 > 0:49:00- Do you think I should? - Yeah, come on. It'll be good.

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Nice win today, boys. Fucking nice feeling that, eh?

0:49:09 > 0:49:12Come on, boys, one sec. The bosses are here.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18Guys, you heard about the changes last night,

0:49:18 > 0:49:20and things are going to be different.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22I hope they're we going be a lot better.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24I just wanted to come down and thank you guys.

0:49:24 > 0:49:28We were really, really proud of what happened out there today,

0:49:28 > 0:49:31and if it's the start of a change from the top,

0:49:31 > 0:49:33for me, it felt like a change down there.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36I just wanted to come down here and thank you for the effort you put in.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39We are there for you, if we can do anything,

0:49:39 > 0:49:42and I hope you guys will see there's a difference now with us in charge.

0:49:42 > 0:49:45If there's anything we can do, we're here to do it for you

0:49:45 > 0:49:49and in exchange, thank you for the effort that you guys put out there.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52- It's a great win today. - Thanks, Amit.

0:49:54 > 0:49:58As you know, we've been working very hard to try and sign Neil Warnock.

0:49:58 > 0:50:02I just wanted you to know we've been able to accomplish this.

0:50:02 > 0:50:06We're buying him out of his contract and we have made him an offer

0:50:06 > 0:50:09which he's accepted, so we are about to announce Neil

0:50:09 > 0:50:13as our new manager, so I just wanted to call and let you know

0:50:13 > 0:50:18we've had success there and bring it to your attention also.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Yes, I agree. I think we need...

0:50:37 > 0:50:38Yes, I agree, Flavio.

0:50:38 > 0:50:42I think the one thing we lacked a little bit was a strong guy

0:50:42 > 0:50:45with a strong character, but I think that this is going to be

0:50:45 > 0:50:49a really good move for us, so I'm quite excited about it.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57"As a manager, Loftus Road was always a place I've loved to go to

0:50:57 > 0:50:59"because of the atmosphere created."

0:50:59 > 0:51:03That English doesn't seem right. Something has to change there.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06Then, "Looking from afar, I believe this is the perfect time

0:51:06 > 0:51:09"for me to come in." Does that seem better?

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Tell me something,

0:51:10 > 0:51:13the stability thing is coming too often in this press release.

0:51:13 > 0:51:16I mean, we shouldn't beat the hell out of the word stability.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19I don't want everyone to think we're fucking so volatile.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Neil Warnock is the new manager of QPR after agreeing

0:51:46 > 0:51:48a compensation deal with Crystal Palace.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51Warnock has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal

0:51:51 > 0:51:52with the Loftus Road club.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55He is the club's fifth manager this season.

0:51:55 > 0:51:59QPR have won just once in their last 11 league games

0:51:59 > 0:52:02and are just three points above the relegation zone.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05First things first, two months of hard work now

0:52:05 > 0:52:07and everyone's got to work and do a bit more than

0:52:07 > 0:52:10they probably have done to make sure we keep in that division.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Matty! Matty! Matty!

0:52:31 > 0:52:34Go on, Matty! Take the pass!

0:52:58 > 0:53:01Well done, big man.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12What was your last instruction to them today?

0:53:12 > 0:53:14What was the main thing for you?

0:53:14 > 0:53:15Smile.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18- Seriously?- Yeah, enjoy it, smile.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21Pressure? Bloody hell, you get paid a fortune to play football.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23Great club, good fans here.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26This was top of the league we were playing, or second.

0:53:26 > 0:53:27You know, just play.

0:53:27 > 0:53:30You've done what you've done all week, now enjoy it.

0:53:30 > 0:53:33- Hey!- How are you?- Good.- Wow!

0:53:35 > 0:53:38For me, it's a great club, great atmosphere.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41My type of club, really, muck and nettles.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44The fans right on top of you, the atmosphere, the crosses,

0:53:44 > 0:53:45headers, tackles.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48You know, what football's all about really.

0:54:07 > 0:54:11OK, ladies and gents, I think we're going to start shortly.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14The guests of honour just making their way down the aisle.

0:54:16 > 0:54:20I had a question for Mikele, actually, which was,

0:54:20 > 0:54:24what it's been like as a player here for the last two or three years

0:54:24 > 0:54:26with the changes in management?

0:54:26 > 0:54:29You know, people obviously want to get involved

0:54:29 > 0:54:32and everybody's got an opinion on who should be playing

0:54:32 > 0:54:34and who shouldn't be playing.

0:54:34 > 0:54:38The fact that Neil came in was that he's going to have that

0:54:38 > 0:54:41control over everything.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45The last three years has been a nightmare, if I'm honest.

0:54:48 > 0:54:52Can we just say that when you go back, I know with Flavio and Bernie,

0:54:52 > 0:54:55in fairness, when they came in the club was in a mess, weren't it?

0:54:55 > 0:54:59I don't think we should forget that all together.

0:54:59 > 0:55:04Successful men treat businesses like they used to, and in their eyes,

0:55:04 > 0:55:06that's how you do things.

0:55:06 > 0:55:10I think everything is geared for us to be successful.

0:55:10 > 0:55:11It's an optimistic time,

0:55:11 > 0:55:14but none of us really knows what's round the corner, do we?

0:55:14 > 0:55:18I think we have to hope that what we are talking about comes to fruition.

0:55:18 > 0:55:21To do that we all have to be singing off the same hymn sheet, really,

0:55:21 > 0:55:24and have that little bit of fortune as well.

0:55:58 > 0:56:02I'm excited about the prospect of bringing my own players in and,

0:56:02 > 0:56:05you know, we won't be having six or seven loan players next year,

0:56:05 > 0:56:06that's for certain.

0:56:06 > 0:56:08OK, lads. Cheers.

0:56:15 > 0:56:21# We're the finest football team the world has ever seen. #

0:56:30 > 0:56:35And that's it. Full time. End of the season.

0:56:35 > 0:56:39This day, in the end, is all about Newcastle United.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Second time in three years that people

0:56:42 > 0:56:45have celebrated on our pitch on the last day of the season.

0:56:46 > 0:56:49Next year is our year.

0:56:52 > 0:56:57- OK, guys. Thank you. Thank you. - That'll be us next season.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45We've done really good deals, actually,

0:57:45 > 0:57:49because although we've bought nine players, we've spent a total of,

0:57:49 > 0:57:55I guess, £3.5 million spread over two years and got nine new players.

0:58:07 > 0:58:12We all really want the club to improve and go forward,

0:58:12 > 0:58:16and at the end of the day, it'd be nice to be back in the top division,

0:58:16 > 0:58:18which is where I want to be.

0:59:13 > 0:59:16- Can we have a photo as well, please? - Yeah.

0:59:16 > 0:59:18Oh, sorry, son. Do another one?

0:59:18 > 0:59:22- Here we go.- OK, thanks.

0:59:22 > 0:59:27- Neil, can I have one as well?- Yeah. - Have a good season.

0:59:27 > 0:59:30- Thank you. Cheers, son. - Do us a favour this season.

0:59:30 > 0:59:33- I'll try.- Good man. Cheers.- Thank you.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43- All right then.- Come on, boys.

1:00:06 > 1:00:07Come on, QPR.

1:00:12 > 1:00:15- Oh, come on!- Get it!

1:00:16 > 1:00:21- Oh, shit! - Fucking head it, son! Nowhere near.

1:00:23 > 1:00:26And he's struggling here.

1:00:34 > 1:00:38Gianni, this season when you sit here, we don't scream at the players.

1:00:38 > 1:00:42Be positive. If you want to scream at the players, sit behind me.

1:01:08 > 1:01:10Yes!

1:01:23 > 1:01:25Yeah!

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Come on!

1:01:45 > 1:01:47Can I still get a glass of wine?

1:01:49 > 1:01:53Neil, it's a good job that referee didn't know you very well.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56Have a word with him. You rotten bugger.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00- Cheers, Neil. Great start. - Thanks, thanks.

1:02:07 > 1:02:08CROWD CHEERS

1:02:16 > 1:02:17CROWD CHEERS

1:02:17 > 1:02:21I think part of my plan was to let the focus be on the football.

1:02:21 > 1:02:22Let our football do our talking for us

1:02:22 > 1:02:27and not be distracted by things off the pitch, I think that's only healthy for the club.

1:02:27 > 1:02:31Roberts can't get it away. QPR are in here, and they've levelled!

1:02:34 > 1:02:36They've scored twice in injury time.

1:02:40 > 1:02:41CROWD CHEERS

1:02:41 > 1:02:46Queens Park Rangers are celebrating their best start to a league season in 63 years.

1:02:46 > 1:02:50They've got a goal difference, six weeks into the season, of +17.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01CROWD CHEERS

1:03:04 > 1:03:08Let me ask you, why do you end up always getting to dress up like Brad Pitt

1:03:08 > 1:03:12when you come for the game and I look like a fucking security guard?

1:03:14 > 1:03:15CROWD CHEERS

1:03:17 > 1:03:19We're doing the business. Well done, well done.

1:03:23 > 1:03:25Oh, what...

1:03:25 > 1:03:28Oh! What a save.

1:03:28 > 1:03:30What a save.

1:03:30 > 1:03:35- Amit, have a look. - +20 goal difference.- Nice, that, huh?

1:03:35 > 1:03:38I'm going to make a picture of it on my mobile.

1:03:42 > 1:03:43In goes the cross.

1:03:43 > 1:03:47Up goes Speroni... He's lost it!

1:03:47 > 1:03:51If any manager says they expect to get 26 points out of 10 games,

1:03:51 > 1:03:52they're telling porkies.

1:03:52 > 1:03:55- You enjoying it?- Yeah, it's super. How can't you?

1:03:55 > 1:03:57We're so happy with what you're doing so far.

1:03:57 > 1:03:59- Thank you.- Keep it up, it's super.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02Come on, come on.

1:04:02 > 1:04:03Shoot!

1:04:04 > 1:04:06- CROWD CHEERS - Yes!

1:04:07 > 1:04:09Yeah!

1:04:20 > 1:04:22- What happened to the couch? - I don't know.

1:04:22 > 1:04:24They got rid of the couch.

1:04:24 > 1:04:27I know we're trying to do cost-cutting but not that much!

1:04:27 > 1:04:30- Don't sell the couch! - We won't do that!

1:04:32 > 1:04:37- CROWD CHEERS - Oh! Yeah!

1:04:37 > 1:04:41I don't believe it. Oh, what a fucking goal!

1:04:41 > 1:04:44- Unbelievable!- Whoo!- QPR.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47- Great play.- That goal was stunning.

1:04:47 > 1:04:50Three and a half months into the season, still no league defeat.

1:04:50 > 1:04:55You know, it's a great record that we're proud to have.

1:04:57 > 1:04:58Here's Taarabt.

1:05:00 > 1:05:01Oh, yes!

1:05:27 > 1:05:29I think we need to start thinking

1:05:29 > 1:05:32about what the potential impact can be if we do get promoted.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34No doubt, the financial windfall is massive.

1:05:34 > 1:05:38The latest numbers that the League has released is that

1:05:38 > 1:05:43for the first year, it's a minimum guaranteed £42-43 million.

1:05:43 > 1:05:48Chances are that rises every year that we stay up.

1:05:48 > 1:05:52So what we're talking about is going from £2 million per year,

1:05:52 > 1:05:55where we currently stand, to 42.

1:05:55 > 1:05:58If we stay up for three years, you know...

1:05:58 > 1:06:02Somewhere in the region of £120-150 million, 200 million.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05A hell of a lot of money coming from where we are now.

1:06:05 > 1:06:08And so as far as I'm concerned, Neil has started to express

1:06:08 > 1:06:11an interest in trying to bring in more players

1:06:11 > 1:06:13because he too doesn't...

1:06:13 > 1:06:16He realises this is as good a chance as we'll get,

1:06:16 > 1:06:19so I think both you and I now need to try work on the board

1:06:19 > 1:06:23and maybe take the proposal forward to the board to make sure

1:06:23 > 1:06:26that we get the required budget.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29- There's always risk but it's measured risk...- Yeah.

1:06:29 > 1:06:32..To some degree, so I hope that'll give comfort to all of us

1:06:32 > 1:06:34- that have to put our own money in it.- Yeah.

1:06:34 > 1:06:37Myself, yourself and the other shareholders included.

1:06:37 > 1:06:41While there's risks, hopefully we are in a position to measure

1:06:41 > 1:06:43and counter those risks as much as possible.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56OPPOSING CROWD CHEERS

1:06:56 > 1:06:58APPLAUSE

1:06:59 > 1:07:02QPR CROWD CHEER ENCOURAGEMENT

1:07:30 > 1:07:34We started this season with 33% of the shareholding,

1:07:34 > 1:07:39Bernie was a minority, 10, 15% and Flavio owned the rest.

1:07:39 > 1:07:43During the course of the season, it seems that what has happened

1:07:43 > 1:07:47between these guys is they've done a transfer of shares

1:07:47 > 1:07:50where Bernie is now the majority shareholder,

1:07:50 > 1:07:54Flavio is the minority and we are exactly where we are.

1:07:54 > 1:07:59We made an offer to buy another 17% to take our shareholding to 50-50

1:07:59 > 1:08:02thinking that was the best way to move forward,

1:08:02 > 1:08:03to be equal with our partners.

1:08:03 > 1:08:07I've just heard back from him and I'm totally amazed,

1:08:07 > 1:08:11but he has decided that he doesn't want to sell 17% to us.

1:08:11 > 1:08:13I don't know why.

1:08:13 > 1:08:17What seemed like a done deal on Saturday night for us to acquire

1:08:17 > 1:08:21at least a 50% stake in the club is now up in the air again.

1:08:21 > 1:08:24I'm terribly confused but I'll give you an update as soon as I hear.

1:08:27 > 1:08:31# We're Queens Park Rangers... #

1:08:33 > 1:08:35Oh, shit!

1:08:42 > 1:08:44WHISTLE BLOWS

1:08:47 > 1:08:48How are you?

1:08:48 > 1:08:51- Hi, Ishan.- Hiya, Neil. How are you? - Anywhere you want.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53Look, I said to you

1:08:53 > 1:08:56if you remember, I said Neil, the only thing you have to do is, is...

1:08:56 > 1:09:01You have to... You're based on performing, you have to earn our trust.

1:09:01 > 1:09:05I mean, we kind of... We sort of trust you now, Neil!

1:09:05 > 1:09:08- I want to give you what you want. - I know.- So you need to...

1:09:08 > 1:09:09Give you names and figures.

1:09:09 > 1:09:14- You need to just make it a little bit more concrete. - If I give you a ballpark figure now,

1:09:14 > 1:09:18players that would definitely get us up would be about 4 million.

1:09:18 > 1:09:20That's what I would say but I won't.

1:09:20 > 1:09:23You know me, I could do with... I might get away with 500 grand.

1:09:23 > 1:09:27Is there any one player we have that's worth a bit of money?

1:09:27 > 1:09:30- Who we can do without? - I don't think so.

1:09:30 > 1:09:33We might get 200 for Clarke, 200 for Hogan... Are you with me?

1:09:33 > 1:09:37The only thing we don't want to do is sell one of those for the sake of it.

1:09:37 > 1:09:38- Neil, don't do it.- No.

1:09:38 > 1:09:41You'll get pressure. If Flavio calls you...

1:09:41 > 1:09:43- I'm telling you, don't do it. - I know.- Don't do it.

1:09:43 > 1:09:46OK? Just do not do it because you can't afford fucking up,

1:09:46 > 1:09:49- I don't want to fuck it up, let's not fuck it up.- No, we can't.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53I'm telling you, so much of our success

1:09:53 > 1:09:57- comes out of Neil Warnock feeling he doesn't have to fight us for things. - Yeah, yeah.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59It comes to Neil Warnock...

1:09:59 > 1:10:02- He manages players, we have to manage him, bro.- Yeah.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05The more he feels he has it easy, he'll go home, say to Sharon

1:10:05 > 1:10:08- and say it wasn't a very difficult conversation.- Yeah.

1:10:08 > 1:10:11- As long as you have that, that's how we manage this guy.- Yep.

1:10:11 > 1:10:16At some point over lunch on Thursday, I'll say, "Neil, you've got to fucking sell someone."

1:10:16 > 1:10:19But let him go home and be happy. Let's manage him correctly.

1:10:19 > 1:10:23- If it costs £1 million to get the striker to the end of the season, we'll spend it.- I agree.

1:10:23 > 1:10:28But we can't spend £2 million or £2.5 million which means the deal has to happen.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30- OK. Call me after you meet this other guy.- OK, see you.

1:10:30 > 1:10:34Wayne Routledge has rejoined Queens Park Rangers from Newcastle.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38The midfielder has agreed a loan deal with the Championship leaders until the end of the season.

1:10:41 > 1:10:43Routledge could be in here...

1:10:43 > 1:10:45- Wayne Routledge! - CROWD CHEERS

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Oh, he got it in!

1:10:51 > 1:10:55The feeling of getting promotion, Amit, I'd love you to feel that.

1:11:02 > 1:11:04All I want you then,

1:11:04 > 1:11:06wherever it is, be ready in that area, yeah?

1:11:06 > 1:11:08If it goes over here, come in over here.

1:11:08 > 1:11:10Yeah!

1:11:10 > 1:11:12Ishmael Miller.

1:11:12 > 1:11:15Miller. He's through here, Miller.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18Looking to get away from Bamba... Miller!

1:11:18 > 1:11:21Yeeeaaaahhh!

1:11:25 > 1:11:29The FA are investigating QPR, seven charges concerning the signing

1:11:29 > 1:11:33of Alejandro Faurlin from Argentina and it could mean

1:11:33 > 1:11:36QPR get a massive fine, will get points deducted.

1:11:36 > 1:11:39Leave him alone, OK? Just leave him alone.

1:11:39 > 1:11:40You're vultures, the lot of you.

1:11:45 > 1:11:46Yeah?

1:11:56 > 1:11:59Are you worried at all with this FA investigation or not?

1:11:59 > 1:12:04I can only go on what people tell me and I'm told there's no problem. Well, there's not a major problem.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07CROWD: Oh!

1:12:07 > 1:12:10Into a very dangerous area... Faurlin with a hit!

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Yes! Yeah-he-hey!

1:12:18 > 1:12:21Go on! We've scored a goal!

1:12:25 > 1:12:28We are the champions! We are the champions!

1:12:28 > 1:12:32I've spoken to the legal people, I'm happy at what I've heard.

1:12:32 > 1:12:35We'll wait for the hearing, then I'll be able to comment.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56Er, not much... We never... We're not thinking about that at all.

1:12:56 > 1:12:58I'm looking to finish in the top two.

1:13:09 > 1:13:12Nice to be disappointed, eight points clear, four games to go.

1:13:15 > 1:13:17Jay Bothroyd, went for goal...

1:13:17 > 1:13:18CROWD CHEERS

1:13:22 > 1:13:25Plenty of green and white shirts, goes for goal...

1:13:29 > 1:13:33# We're Queens Park Rangers We're top of the league. #

1:13:33 > 1:13:35I have to ask you about Ali Faurlin.

1:13:35 > 1:13:37Is that decision hanging over your head?

1:13:37 > 1:13:41Points deduction, potential qualification, then taken away from you?

1:13:41 > 1:13:42There you go again, see?

1:13:42 > 1:13:45You sound like one of the tabloids at the moment.

1:13:45 > 1:13:47They never let facts stop a good story.

1:13:47 > 1:13:49Loses possession. That's a beautiful ball through.

1:13:49 > 1:13:52Come on, come on!

1:13:52 > 1:13:54Routledge down the centre, right-footed...

1:13:54 > 1:13:561-0, Queens Park Rangers!

1:14:05 > 1:14:08They're having to hang on here because Amoo is through.

1:14:08 > 1:14:11Amoo into the area, volleys it into the roof of the net!

1:14:17 > 1:14:20Fucking ten minutes from the end!

1:14:21 > 1:14:24Are you happy? No. We're done. Promoted.

1:14:27 > 1:14:30- We need one point.- Just one point.

1:14:33 > 1:14:37The Argentinian midfielder joined Rangers two years ago.

1:14:37 > 1:14:40Next week, the club faces an FA hearing into allegations

1:14:40 > 1:14:42of third-party ownership of the player.

1:14:42 > 1:14:45Today, The Sun newspaper ran headlines

1:14:45 > 1:14:48about a possible 15 point deduction.

1:14:48 > 1:14:50Quoting an FA source as saying,

1:14:50 > 1:14:54"There's no doubt QPR have broken the rules."

1:16:48 > 1:16:51Now, a point against Watford today will put Queens Park Rangers

1:16:51 > 1:16:54back in the Premier League for the first time since 1996,

1:16:54 > 1:16:57but that's only part of the story for Rangers though.

1:16:57 > 1:17:01The game will played against a backdrop of a possible points

1:17:01 > 1:17:05deduction from the FA over the case of Alejandro Faurlin.

1:17:05 > 1:17:07For now though, QPR will be champions if they win.

1:17:55 > 1:18:00CROWD CHANTS: Rangers! Rangers! Rangers!

1:18:00 > 1:18:04Smith, in behind the Watford defence. Taarabt!

1:18:11 > 1:18:14And Adel Taarabt has got it!

1:18:14 > 1:18:17FANS CHANT

1:18:23 > 1:18:25Nice run! That has sealed it!

1:18:25 > 1:18:28Yeah! Yeah!

1:18:28 > 1:18:33Queens Park Rangers are in the Premier League as champions!

1:18:50 > 1:18:52WHISTLE BLOWS AND CROWD CHEERS

1:18:57 > 1:18:58THEY CHEER

1:19:18 > 1:19:22Yeah! We've done it! Beautiful!

1:19:31 > 1:19:32God bless you!

1:19:32 > 1:19:37CROWD CHANTS: We are the champions! We are the champions!

1:19:42 > 1:19:48Listen...my advice would be we have won, these guys have won.

1:19:48 > 1:19:51If we lose, it will be in the offices not in the pitch.

1:19:51 > 1:19:55These guys deserve a party because they have won the championship.

1:20:03 > 1:20:05Queens Park Rangers will find out this week

1:20:05 > 1:20:09if they're guaranteed automatic promotion to the Premier League.

1:20:09 > 1:20:11Their win at Watford sealed the Championship title

1:20:11 > 1:20:15but their fate now rests with a three-day independent FA hearing

1:20:15 > 1:20:16which started this morning.

1:20:16 > 1:20:20For Queens Park Rangers this is as serious as it gets.

1:20:20 > 1:20:21They face a total of seven charges.

1:20:21 > 1:20:26Two of those charges are towards their chairman Gianni Paladini.

1:20:26 > 1:20:31Paladini has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

1:20:31 > 1:20:32What message, Gianni,

1:20:32 > 1:20:35do have to Queens Park Rangers supporters who are worried?

1:20:35 > 1:20:39They're worried that you're going to get a points deduction.

1:20:39 > 1:20:42The sky is blue and everything's good.

1:20:43 > 1:20:46Within the next 48 hours they will know

1:20:46 > 1:20:51whether their automatic promotion to the Premier League is guaranteed.

1:20:51 > 1:20:55So a decision was expected tomorrow. The FA are now saying this evening

1:20:55 > 1:20:59that after hearing three days of evidence, this will now not happen.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02A decision will be made and announced as soon as possible thereafter.

1:21:44 > 1:21:46Much of the UK has had rain this morning

1:21:46 > 1:21:48but it is slowly clearing up.

1:21:48 > 1:21:49It's going to be warm today.

1:21:49 > 1:21:52Temperatures hitting 25 degrees Celsius.

1:21:52 > 1:21:55It's also the final day of regular season matches

1:21:55 > 1:21:58in the npower Championship - games kicking off at 12:45.

1:21:58 > 1:22:02QPR will be presented with the Championship trophy

1:22:02 > 1:22:06despite awaiting the outcome of their FA disciplinary hearing.

1:22:13 > 1:22:16- Nice to see you.- How are you. You OK? Have you heard anything?

1:22:16 > 1:22:19There's rumours swirling around. Announcement imminent.

1:22:19 > 1:22:24- We'll be the last ones to find out. - How's it affected you all this week?

1:22:24 > 1:22:26It's been a strange end to the season.

1:22:26 > 1:22:29We should be celebrating and enjoying the time of our lives

1:22:29 > 1:22:32but, unfortunately, the powers that be have held back.

1:22:35 > 1:22:37What's this rumour? What have you heard?

1:22:37 > 1:22:40The rumour going round - I've had it from two sources -

1:22:40 > 1:22:43is that the announcement is going to be 11 o'clock today.

1:22:43 > 1:22:44Are you serious?

1:22:52 > 1:22:54I bet you wish you hadn't said nothing now.

1:23:02 > 1:23:05No points deduction! No points deduction!

1:23:05 > 1:23:08- No points deduction! No points deduction!- Really?!

1:23:11 > 1:23:15Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

1:23:15 > 1:23:20They cannot take away from us! We won! Fair and square!

1:23:20 > 1:23:23Justice done. Justice done. Never done nothing wrong for this club.

1:23:23 > 1:23:24Never. Never.

1:23:37 > 1:23:39CROWD ROARS

1:23:48 > 1:23:54CROWD CHANT: Campiones, campiones Ole! Ole! Ole!

1:24:10 > 1:24:13CROWD ROARS

1:24:15 > 1:24:21Helderson, it was, in the opening 30 seconds of play.

1:24:21 > 1:24:23What a day for Queens Park Rangers!

1:24:32 > 1:24:37Gianni, regardless of whatever happened in the past,

1:24:37 > 1:24:39happened in the case, it doesn't matter.

1:24:39 > 1:24:41I know your heart is in the right place.

1:24:41 > 1:24:45This is the only important thing. So enjoy this moment.

1:25:05 > 1:25:06We deserve to be here.

1:25:06 > 1:25:09We've a magnificent set of lads and I'm so proud of them.

1:25:14 > 1:25:18Queens Park Rangers are heading back to the elite of English football.

1:25:29 > 1:25:32CROWD ROARS

1:26:38 > 1:26:41You told me four years ago when I first interviewed you,

1:26:41 > 1:26:44"We will get this club into the Premier League."

1:26:44 > 1:26:47- It was never in doubt, was it? - Ah, you know, bumps along the way

1:26:47 > 1:26:49but with all great things that happens.

1:26:49 > 1:26:50We couldn't be happier today.

1:26:50 > 1:26:54It's been a long time coming and success feels very sweet.

1:28:11 > 1:28:16# Money - get a little And you feel just fine

1:28:16 > 1:28:21# Money - give a little And you're close to crying

1:28:21 > 1:28:26# Pounds and dollars And coins and cents

1:28:26 > 1:28:31# Doesn't always buy happiness
