I have offered my concerns about Alan Pardew since the day he walked into St James´ Park.
He won nothing as a player ... he has (to date) won nothing as a manager.
The man is more concerned about the fear of failure - than the ambition of winning something.
He is NOT a winner. That is MY humble opinion, and I hope I see the day he proves me wrong.
But today´s news that QPR have confirmed the signing of Marseille striker Loic Remy for a club record fee - says a lot.
Why can´t we attract a player - and QPR can?
The France international has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Loftus Road after choosing the Barclays Premier League basement boys over Newcastle.
Hoops boss Harry Redknapp: "I'm delighted to bring him in - he's a great buy for us.
"I didn't think we'd get him to be honest but (chairman) Tony Fernandes worked ever so hard on this. He wouldn't give up on it, and it's great that we now have him here with us.
"He's always been a player I've admired. I've watched him on so many occasions throughout the last few years. I actually spent three or four hours with him last year so he knew what I thought of him, and I think that was important.
"He's quick, can score goals and makes great runs. His movement is excellent. He's got the potential to be a really outstanding striker."
Remy: "Harry played a big part in me coming here. I spoke to him and Tony Fernandes at length and they made it clear they wanted me here. They gave me the right motivation to join QPR.
"I want to develop my game here. This season the objective is to stay up but beyond that we have greater objectives.
"After seven years in France, this is the right time for me to pursue a new challenge in the Premier League - the best League in the world.
"I am confident I can adapt to the Premier League. My main characteristics have taken me to the level I am at today but I am keen to keep improving in the Premier League."
