Originally posted by LanguedocFox View PostLeicester City fan here, in peace as ever - my first time back here this season.
Just wondering: was there much talk among fans over the summer that Redknapp should go? Or was everyone just enjoying the afterglow from the Wembley win?
I thought at the time that he'd have done himself and his reputation a lot of favours if he'd left - on a high, after all. I was amazed to read instead about him being offered a new contract, which he was going to sign when he had a minute. Did anything come of that either?
I think almost all of us were amazed at hearing about a new contract offer. What was the point of that now?! See how the season goes and give him a new one at the end of the season, if applicable. If not, fire him before then and only have to pay out the remainder of the year! Duh! Of course we would have had to take the risk that Real Madrid or Manchester United might have snatched him away from under our noses before we had his john hancock on the dotted line.
None of us know for certain, but I certainly think Harry would have been offered a new contract, and would have signed it faster than you could say "that pound note goes in my pocket", if he had been able to squeeze out a few more points and at least give the illusion that he might be able to keep us up.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

Obviously we can all now see that he is not up to it.
However I can see there would have been a lot of unhappy fans if we'd given him the boot. Not that the fans are too happy these days anyway!

Originally posted by SuperHoopNik View PostA lot of abuse going around as if he's ruined us already. Yes performances haven't been up to scratch this season, and last season to be honest....but he has done a good job of rebuilding. We actually have a decent set of players now...ok our games of late haven't exactly proved this but we do imo. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, he's done a good job of getting us back up to the prem first time trying and building a decent team. Gotta be grateful for that imo.
I can't agree that he did a good job getting us back up either - if anything, he under-performed last season if the bookies odds are anything to go by (and they usually are), and with the funds at his disposal in relation to last season's competition. He did just about what was expected of him, nothing more - that hardly merits gratitude in my book.Last edited by surrey_hoop; 11-10-2014, 04:43 PM.

Originally posted by Geng View PostIf WATRBs is lowbrow it's because of its roots as a front organisation for Paladini's deliberately divisive propaganda, spouted via Pete the puppet. The idea was to create a European-style group of 'ultras' who would peddle the board's line at all times, in return for various favours such as Pete's famous free seat and access to "rumours"/leaks.
People with a bit more scepticism, who weren't wowed by Paladini's tough guy / "successful businessman" bllocks, tended to keep well clear.
This is why even today you get whole threads on here full of people saying Tony Fernandes walks on water, best chairman in the league, our hero, and so on, whereas the other forums have long since learned to be sceptical towards him.
It's not that this forum has a particular stance towards TF as opposed to rival owners; we've changed owners several times since WATRBs was founded. It's that this board attracted people who enjoy easy answers (who we signing next Pete?) and aren't naturally suspicious of the powers that be (he's explained himself so give him a break, see this press release), and this culture has been maintained since.
(Please don't reply telling me that you personally always hated Pete, were always suspicious of TF, or that I once said something nice about TF - this is a general point about the forums' culture, obviously there are loads of exceptions within this).

If you think I don't like anything QPR-related you clearly haven't read my posts very well.
