To The QPR Board

[spiderman]

Holloway and Ferdinand have to go, no if's no buts, go for god sake.

Agreed, Ferdinand has to go or we will just get another of his numpty mates as the next manager.

[surrey_hoop]

Agreed.

Get rid and take the dof with you.

Think we were saying this abut 2 years ago, weren't we Hits? I take absolutely no pleasure in stating that either.

Warnock took cardiff from 22nd to 12th this season getting 1.5 points per game. Not bad for someone who is past it apparently.

Ageism is alive and well in football, just as it is in virtually every other walk of life. I can't see how their squad is any better than ours, so you have to assume that he would've done about as well with us if given the chance.

If money is so tight at the club why are we paying out for a DOF. We could get a decent coach or two for what he's more than likely earning instead of another chest thumping AM or
Hartlepool defence coach ( wonderful legacy he left there).

I agree. Holloway said before that he couldn't do all the work that Les does. So why is it that other managers can do it at other clubs and be successful. Les is clearly just trying to pull the wool over The boards eyes and trying to prove he can do a job no one else can.

We were indeed my old mate. we were the three outcasts. your good self, krill and i.

No pleasure at all.

it was all too obvious from the very start.

just hope we can finally clear the rot from the club and get back to a something resembling a football club.


good to see you posting again buddy!

What happened to Kirill. Never posts anymore. Get him back. Facto too. We need some entertainment.

Fairness to Ollie he was offered job and took it so the problem is deeper than him as why was he ever considered a candidate let alone offered the role

Yes, the problem is deeper, that much is obvious. Ollie was offered the job because he was cheap, because he's a QPR man and because the board believed it would be a popular decision with the fans. So there you have three reasons to absolutely NEVER recruit a football manager, if it's for those reasons alone! It was a totally amateurish decision and proves that they've learnt nothing in the 6.5 years they took over the club.

Les Ferdinand, another man who was picked because it was perceived as being a popular appointment by the fans. Again, another absolutely disastrous appointment. Just look at his track record so far of managers under his watch for proof of that.

Tony Fernandes, the fool and his money so easily parted - and one who never seems to learn from his mistakes. His legacy at QPR is to appoint managers and DOF's who he thinks will be popular with the fans because the most important thing to him is to be loved and to feel popular. This personality shortcoming has proven to be his downfall because there is absolutely no more important a decision a chairman can make than the people you employ when, like Fernandes, you know nothing of the industry you're getting involved with.

Tony Fernandes' appointments have been his downfall these past 6.5 years because he has based them not on sound judgement and informed footballing nous, but instead on what he thinks will make him feel popular with the fans and playing to the gallery. The Redknapp one, another classic example of this where he saw the 'Come save us Harry' banner in the stands and once again acted on it stupidly, compulsively, without thinking it through or getting the right advice from people who know the industry.

So yes, West Acton, you are of course correct that the problems at QPR FC lie far far deeper than the current incompetent incumbent who once again was appointed for all the wrong reasons and thus was another brain dead decision.

[qprjeff1882]

Absolutely spot on. Tony Fernandes' problem is that he believes what anyone in football tell him. Just because they are involved in football and can talk a good game doesn't make them good at their job. Why is it that QPR always seem to go for the same bland choices of manager and player and we constantly look at other teams and say why didn't we go for thise people.

[SuperHoopNik]

Any point in changing the manager? Cos 6 months down the line you'll all be wanting him out too. Karanka, Clement...... Pep Guardiola...they will all get it at some point lol.

[dave58]

I do believe LF is a big part of the problem because he has the say on player and manager recruitment!

Been saying this for so long now but not many agreed with me, he was the main reason Warnock didn't stay hasn't done a very good job 3 bad managerial appointments, needs to go, a lot are coming round now we don't need him, don't think we'll get a descent manager while he's sitting above him, whoever it may be, time for T.F to weald the axe DOF. Holloway & Birch, get someone in who has no ties to the club, clean sweep, and no appeasement appointments, but get someone good,

[Northolt_Rs]

I agree. Holloway said before that he couldn't do all the work that Les does. So why is it that other managers can do it at other clubs and be successful. Les is clearly just trying to pull the wool over The boards eyes and trying to prove he can do a job no one else can.

Well DOF is definitely doing a job no one else can - nobody could do it worse! Ramsey, Hasselbaink and now Holloway. Presided over us being relegated from the Prem to being ar.sehole lucky not to drop down to Division 1. How he is still our DOF is totally beyond me.

[Shepherds Mush]

Far too many sub-standard players for this division and far too many will be saved because all the focus is off them.
