My sensible view on the situation

[Sharpy]

So who at the club gives average players long term contracts ?

[Kit]

While I am no fan on Briatore - the key to being a good businessman is delegation - he has passed signing players and getting in good managers onto Gianni and he has been very poor. Contrary to popular opinion we HAVE spent big - but poorly with very little planning. Forest show the perfect example of how to do it - get in a good proven manager - give him time and money - and reap the rewards.

Ok, maybe it came from Briatore/the board to sack managers which has been a major factor - but who lined them up for interview - do we think Briatore said "get me Jim Magilton!"?

I know people at the club and they say he is like a loveable uncle but completely useless! Why have very average players been given 4 year contracts? I don't want to say anything liable - so I will stop there.

Get some people back in the club who at least understand the support - because we are getting no communication with the fans. If we are trying a new approach and cutting wages - bringing in leaner, younger players - that's fine. But let the supporters know that - we are not silly and we love the club - we've been in worse situations - if we are going back to basics - communicate it to us - we might actually get behind you and we can have our club back. Only a few years ago - we were a "proper football club" - now we are just a sideshow I got to every other Saturday - I still love this club as do thousands as others - we just need some good people to sort it out and us fans will then play our part and get the atmosphere going!!!!


C'mon you RRRRRRRRRRRR'ssss

Very well written, it is easy at the moment to just fall apart but this fella is a very fair assessment !

Nope I'll be having a beer and a laugh with my friends before the game if thats ok with you?

Sounds to me like you could use a beer and a holiday yourself.

I'll keep an eye out for the thousands of people dressed as clowns Saturday but I think most of them will be in the away end.

Funky,

How many of Routledge's club moves were through his choice or request though?

[qblockpete]

Routledge goes where the money is, its that simple

I'm not sure but here's his clubs;

Newcastle
QPR
Cardiff
Aston Villa
Fulham
Portsmouth
Spurs
Crystal Palace

He walked out on Palace and left for Spurs which Jordan went mad about.

Hardly worked out for him at Spurs, Portsmouth or Fulham.

Was offered a deal by Cardiff and was then last seen heading down the motorway to w12 after we offered a deal.

The kid must of made a fortune from signing on fee's

I dont blame the lad one bit it's a short career and he is making the most of it.

I'm sure he is on a fair whack at Newcastle.

Writtler,

apologises but I do not agree.

You can only spend what you have been given, you can sell what you have been told to do.

if he was given a 50 million budget, then go ahead and criticise.

The first January when we brought the players in, I think only Ageymang at the time was questioned. Okay, Hall turned out to be pretty poor, but at the time I find no posts to indicate it was bad buy.

I don't disagree we are approaching a time for change, but I would not place all the problems on one persons shoulders, to do that indicates purely a personal vendetta. The problem is much bigger than one person

I don't know how many times this has to be repeated for you to stop assuming that it's "personal" about GP?

It is not about him as a person... it is the position he holds that is not to the benefit of QPR. Sporting Sodding Director.
No, matter who is in that role.

I must have typed that in your direction a dozen times, trying to get it through to you.... but you still assume that people are blaming him 100%.. as a man.

Yes, there are a small handful of people who single him out personally, and yet you always lump those people together with what the VAST majority of QPR fans think... that is:
They have nothing "personal" against the bloke, there is no personal vendetta, they don't know him, he seems a nice bloke... but the structure at QPR is wrong, and it's HIS ROLE that is a huge part of that problem. Probably the biggest problem of all.

The owner who insists on somebody filling that role, rather than placing his trust in a top football manager, is the person to blame for it. Not the employee, ie: Gianni Paladini.
He is just a club employee, doing what he's told, and is filling a role that shouldn't even exist.



Please try and digest that... it is not personal for the huge majority of QPR fans who know nothing about him as a man. It is NOT personal.
