Peterborough United’s director of football Barry Fry has hit out at QPR owners Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone for failing to back manager Neil Warnock in the transfer market. The two clubs appeared to have agreed a deal for Scotland striker Craig Mackail-Smith but that fell through. And Fry has slammed their treatment of Neil Warnock and the club’s fans. He told talkSPORT: “[Craig Mackail-Smith] first of all met Neil Warnock with his agent, I mean I did a deal with Neil six weeks ago to be quite honest but [Flavio] Briatore and [Bernie] Ecclestone wouldn’t back Neil, he can’t even get a free transfer in, he can’t even get a tea lady in. “They’re a disgrace those geezers at QPR in my opinion. If his owners don’t back him Neil can’t do anything. He’s performed miracles to get QPR into the Premier League. He should have all the backing in the world and he’s had none at all, he hasn’t signed anybody, he’s not been able to sign anybody. “I don’t know what’s going on there, the QPR fans don’t deserve that. The price hike they’ve put on [tickets] is an absolute disgrace.” www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/8785/2/exclusive-%E2%80%93-fry-qpr%E2%80%99s-owners-are-disgrace

I don't massively rate Taarabt, and when QPR are being dominated next season by the bigger clubs, he'll probably be anonymous and a bit of a liability, but at the moment he looks like their only chance of staying up.

He also looks like leaving QPR this summer according to Colin, with PSG putting a bid in..

I've just noticed that Clint Hill is at the heart of their defence, if they don't bring in any centre-backs before the season starts then they must be dead certs for the drop. His level is struggling/mid-table Championship side at best.

I always thought that he was a better out and out defender than Cort. I don't know if I'd agree with that, it was quite clear that Leon Cort wasn't good enough for the Prem but I think he's slightly better suited to it than Clint Hill. Hill was pretty solid in the air, a very sloppy tackler and absolutely dog shit with the ball (he didn't pretend to be anything other than a row z type defender mind), Cort was a little more well rounded... but just not good enough. If we still had Hill in our first season he would have been around 5th choice centre-back: Abd Faye Shawcross Higgy Cort Hill Matteo If he's still first choice for QPR then I think they're fucked.
