on the flip side of sacking HR

[Bill]

Building a team to get into the premiership and building a team for staying in the premiership are two completely different things. Despite what some people think HRs no idiot and 1 thing he knows a lot about is football and the premiership. IF we can make it over the lime then IMO HR will build a strong team that will stay in the prem

yes he is doing a great job.............

Harry was the right guy for our situation last season, but TF waited entirely too long to sack Sparky. This year, I was expecting younger players too get a chance (Yun Suk Young and Harriman to name 2) and was expecting to offload those who didn't care about our club. Instead, we sent all our young guys out on loan, and brought in a full squad of loanees and has-beens to bring us up. We plugged the hole in our sinking ship with gum instead of properly fixing it.

Charlie Austin was a great signing. Matty Phillips is a great signing. There young, and could mesh with our Academy players. But then there were questionable signings. When Danny Simpson went down, Harry brought in Aaron Hughes, a 34 year old out of favor defender who can play the entire backfield. So, instead of letting someone like Michael Harriman get a chance to have a half season under is belt, we are letting an out of favor retiree get caps.

You can make arguments for almost every one of Harry's loan signings, BAE is good one week, **** poor the next. Will Keane is the same age as Tom Hitchcock FFS, so why didn't we just recall one of our own? Questions like this need to be answered by not only Harry, but Phil Beard as well. Phil's let Sparky play FIFA Ultimate Team in real life, and now let Harry does this :(

Does anyone else feel this way?

Mate I couldn't agree more in regards to bringing our own through, I've always said that. Its about finding that happy medium a mix of young and experienced. But when is it right to risk our new young players.... in a promotion chasing side or a side trying to stay in the premiership? .... I don't know.

Nor do I! haha

It'd be about 3 months Nick.....

Yep and unfortunately that's my argument.

What if the new manager cant get a team together playing good football.... in the words of Flavio... NEXT!!

We all cry out for stability yet after a bad run of form we call for the manager's head. I say give him until the end of the season. What good will come from sacking him now? He's our best option if we want to go up, and besides no one will leave their club mid season to manage us, all the names suggested on here are doing well where they are.

Now that is a sensible post Nik. If someone new came in, it's still the same players. One man could do it i reckon and that's Neil Warnock. He did it before, but i can't see him wanting anything to do
with us again and who could blame him

Because by the end of the season morale will be rock bottom and Hr will just walk away and the new manager will have two months
to get a team together for next season.

This season has been dire football tactically naïve and utter dross to watch and Hr will just walk away

[Nick]

The funny thing is they look happy to be leaving...

I'm a Leicester City fan. Last February/March, City nosedived from second to seventh (sound familiar?), during an 11-match run when we lost seven, drew three and won just the one. On 1 April, when we lost to Barnsley, someone started a thread on my "home" forum (Foxes Talk) entitled "Sack him now!" - the "him" being Nigel Pearson. What that poster didn't take into account was that (a) seventh was a higher position than we'd had under any manager other than Pearson since 2003, and (b) that we'd not lost any match by more than a single goal all season.

Fortunately, our owners didn't panic and in the end we got to the playoffs (great last Saturday of the season) where we lost to Watford. This season, no-one has suggested that Pearson should be sacked (apart from some f***wit who said that before the first match of the season had even started) and you know the rest of the story.

I am not a particular fan of Redknapp, to be honest, but sacking him now would be utterly stupid. For a start, who are you going to get to replace him? You're fourth, and you have 45 points still to play for this season: that's not a bad position to be in, is it?

You obviously have not seen much of us this season

Pearson and Redknapp isn't a reasoned comparison.

Two very different managers, with very different type of squads, at very different clubs, with very different type of owners.

IMO
YMMV
ETC...

I'm not saying that Pearson and Redknapp are comparable, but the situations that QPR are in now and that City were in last April are exactly comparable. Sacking Redknapp at this stage of the season would be utterly stupid: look what's happened at Craven Cottage FFS.
