"To Do a QPR:" A New Expression in the Offing?....Also: Clive Allen's "Fluke" Semi-Final Winner "Remembered"

-
Burnley's Operational Director, Brendan Flood on Burnley's spending plans: "[W]e're continuing to make further commitments to the club, and I think everyone can see that we are getting a better squad and we're not going to do a QPR...." Hopefully "to do a QPR" is not going to become a perjorative!

This is Lanashire - Flood's transfer vow
BRENDAN Flood has stressed that Burnley will not be stretched beyond their financial limits during the January transfer window....
Operational director Flood has faith in Coyle's powers of negotiation to wheel and deal in his efforts to make Burnley a strong Championship force capable of pushing for the Premier League. But he has reiterated that the board aren't demanding overnight success.
"The key thing to remember is the transfer window involves a desire to forget everything that's been done over the past 12 months and focus on an amount of money that gets spent in this month," he said.
"Barry and I are committed guys and we're continuing to make further commitments to the club, and I think everyone can see that we are getting a better squad and[b] we're not going to do a QPR.[/b]
"It's a medium to long-term plan to get Burnley established one day in the Premier League......" This is Lancashire

Memory!!
WBA's former Center Half John Wile "I also lost another semi-final a few years later to QPR when a dreadful game was settled by a fluke goal from Clive Allen and it's never a great feeling to get so close to Wembley and then lose.
"I suppose we did better than 88 other teams, but it's horrible when you hear the other team down the corridor celebrating. Losers' dressing rooms can be the most depressing places on earth." Report
