Being paid to write about the club you support?

Short of actually playing for the team, it surely can’t get much better than that for any self-respecting football fan. Except… what happens when the people who run the club set out to transform it beyond recognition and steer it on a course you can’t accept? How do you approach your job then? Can your relationship with the club remain intact, not only on a professional level but also as a supporter?

As sports editor of a local newspaper series in north-west London, Ben Kosky found himself wrestling with those questions when Queens Park Rangers underwent a sweeping makeover – not only during the era of the infamous Four Year Plan, but before and after that as well. Retracing that chaotic period in QPR history,

Ben gives an insight on what it was like to deal with some of the key figures at the time – Ian Holloway, John Gregory, Neil Warnock and Gianni Paladini – as well as outlining his own journey from fervent follower to estranged fan and back again.

Worked out perfect. Great value, quality suit
Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black
Worked out perfectly for my son’s 8th grade formal. Pictured he is wearing a men’s small. Quality but a little baggy. It fit fine but we had the jacket altered to fit tighter around his back and the pants were hemmed and tapered. Great value for the money. Does not include a white shirt. Includes jacket, vest, pants, bow tie and pocket pin. 4 stars only because of baggy but some may like that fit.

My Partner Wore It to My Class Reunion
Size: Medium, Color: Black
This MAGE MALE men’s 3-piece slim fit suit was absolutely perfect for my class reunion. My partner looked incredibly sharp and put-together, and the one-button design gave it a modern, elegant look. The vest really elevated the outfit and made it stand out from a standard suit. The fit was flattering and tailored, and the fabric felt comfortable enough to wear for hours without looking wrinkled or stiff. The quality exceeded our expectations for the price, and the suit photographed beautifully as well. He received so many compliments throughout the night, and it truly made the occasion feel extra special. Highly recommend this suit for formal events, reunions, or any time you want to make a great impression.

Buy 2 sizes if you are interested.
I ordered this suit for an event, unfortunately was not able to wear it. The Vest was missing, it fit bigger than it should (over sized although I measured), and the black jacket came with a WHITE STAIN. The suit and vest were the main reason for my purchase. The material of the suit was comfortable and stretchable, pants fit well. The bow tie and pocket piece were great in color and detail, brand new.
