Tony Cascarino: QPR Managerial Changes are ‘Laughable’

Tony CascarinoUnfortunately for some fans, they are lumbered with owners of the club they support that literally don’t have a clue about football, that I’m afraid has been the situation at QPR.

Paul HartIt amazes me that successful businessmen often buy clubs without any idea how football clubs should be run. They hire and fire managers on a regular basis with a blinkered view on how they think things should work but with little or in most cases no experience of what football is all about.

The situation at QPR is laughable; they have chopped and changed their managers far too frequently for the players or team to build any momentum. Paul Hart was at the club for a very short period of time which was also disrupted by the recent weather conditions. Paul was unable to do as much work on the training ground as I’m sure he would have liked but still his departure is just another embarrassing managerial casualty at the club. Rangers have had four different men in charge either permanently or as caretaker already this season and that is no way to bring success to a football club.

The owners have acted like fans with some idiotic decision making since arriving at Loftus Road. The way they have gone through managers must now severely impact on their ability to bring in any manager of any quality. No manager in their right mind would accept a job at QPR with the lack of faith shown by the club’s board. Stability is the key to growth at a club, some manager appointments don’t work out of course but they have to be given a chance and those who employ them must be accountable for hiring them in the first place.

QPR fans certainly don’t deserve what is happening to their club, the fanfare regarding the takeover suggested they would be the new Chelsea or Man City in terms of spending but that hasn’t really materialised. If the owners continue to illustrate their lack of knowledge of how a football club should be run, then for me, they won’t be promoted to the Premier League in the near future and in all honesty they deserve what they get.

Painful as it is to read, never a truer word said.

Sorry??

Sousa was at this club in lamen terms we were building from the back with Sousa

He came in after a good start from Dowie, Dowie had us 1-2 points off Plays offs

then a couple of wins under Ainsworth.

WHAT WAS HE BUILDING?

Surely it was

"push on, we are in sight of the play offs try and get us there"

not

"look we are 1 point off play offs, start building from the back and focus on stablising the club this season and get us into play offs NEXT season?

Please don't tell me you believe it was the second option?

and PS Play Alberti in the centre?/

Do you believe the dof had the players in place to not only mount a serious challenge for the play offs' but also to have something to build on to actually stay in the premiership if we had gone up?

If we had got Clinton Morrison like Dowie had wanted, then Sousa could of partnered him alongside Balckstock, with Routledge and maybe taarabt, then we would of been able to mount a realistic challenge. We were a weaker side after the transfer window and that was Gp's doing. From not allowing Dowie to sign Morrison, Selling Dex and buying Helgusson, they were three key decisions that season that were more detrimental to our play off ambitions than you seem to be able to admitt.
His options were very limited up top to say the least. At the end of the day, you can only pi*s with the c*ck you've got

[Bracknell Neil]

Not often I agree with Cascarino but again spot on! for me the only thing I couldn't fathom about sousa's reign was 6 changes at charlton after a cracking win against Preston! Then we should have won but for usual incompetance from our keeper. How Sousa kept so many clean sheets with what he had at his disposal only Pete could find fault with!

[stanistheman]

Yep complete rumour without foundation.

Dowie got on well with Gianni, but aye why allow a rumour to get in the way of facts.

As for Sousa, why are the Sousa lovers not hyping up De canio who had a better record and doing better than anyone from our former managers in Italy?

Just wondered like?

Agenda??

Maybe it is because De Canio wasn't sacked, but left for personal reasons.

Either way, Sousa should not have been sacked.

QPR had a blip in with defeats against Ipswich & Norwich along with far too many 0-0 draws, but results got better with wins against Swansea & Bristol City that halted a slide down the table and still had an outside chance of the play-offs (albeit a slim one).

The Board should have been looking forward to seeing him start this season with a fully fit squad to choose from, but instead a man who knows next to nothing about football, on the advice of a waiter-cum agent-cum DoF, chose to sack him on the basis of divulging club secrets, as if Paladini hadn't often blabbed to anyone who would listen about QPR's intended transfer targets, player sales etc.

Well as they say, you reap what you sow and QPR look like facing a relegation battle this season and with the current useless manager along with demotivated and or gutless players, it is one they look like losing.

Hope FB enjoys watching L1 football, because I know I hated it.

[Bracknell Neil]

Loyal long suffering Rangers fans don't deserve it but we are reaping what we sow!!! The reality is we are the blue print on not how to run a business!!makes for a busy web site though with so many disgruntled punters!!

I too was at that Charlton game, frigging freezing it was.

6 changes baffled me as well but if my memory serves me right Charlton were languishing at the bottom of the league and Super Paulo probably thought it was still a winnable game and may have wanted to give players a rest with Watford at home 2 days later. There may have been a few players carrying knocks as well, you just don't know.

One thing I do know for sure is that Charlton away was the first time we'd scored 2 goals away from home in the league all season following our first goal away from home against Plymouth earlier in the month of Dec 2008 in 9 away games....a rot which had set in prior top Paulos appointment.

[theblackmafia.]

I have already told you once already, I think Paulo Sousa knows a little bit more about formation and tactics than you. Its unreasonable just to expect a Coach to pick up the reins and 'push on' and this is exactly the sort of mentality which has put us where we ae today. It takes time for a Coach to impose their own authority and footballing ethos on a squad of players, infact it didn't take Super Paulo that long to settle at all. He had key players missing at an important part of the season, our DoF was working his magic in the transfer market bringing in a crocked striker whom he didn't want and he was new to the game in a senior coaching role and to football in this country as a whole.

Your a blinkered man who probably saw Super Paulo's patient approach to stabilising the club and laying solid foundations as stifiling your own 'media career'. Think about it, you could have been on the gravy train with Paladini in the Prem, getting to see those big big PL grounds, getting caught on Sky Sports banging your drum, interviewing PL footballers on the radio, Preminum TV subsrciptions would have doubled over night......

You see I think this runs deeper, many criticised Super Paulo at the time but have since retracted their comments which is acceptable especially as we all would like to have the benefit of hindsight.....all except you, you have no remorse for your actions. You run a website which whether you like to admit it or not was directly responsible for the sacking of Paulo Sousa via a smear campaign instigated by Gianni Paladini and implemented by you.

Unlike you I accepted early on our fate last season, I didn't see it as an issue I took a lot of comfort in our defensive displays and knew we were 1-2 signings away from making a proper challenge the following season. I favour stability, build over a couple of seasons like Burnley and then go for it.

I personally think your a very selfish man and I think the truth will come out at some point with what really happened with Sousa. I have a hunch that Sousa had Paladini sussed and Paladini didn't like it as his meal ticket was in jeopardy due to Super Paulo's presence the longer time went on. I mean look at the stature of the man as if he was going to take advice from someone with limited football knowledge who was a known liar with a seedy corrupt background. With Paladini out the way your own 'media career' would be under threat too, I doubt this impressed you either. On many occassion you have played on 'this is just a rumour website thats why we left up that thread' or 'Sousa's sacking was nothing to do with WATRB'.....******.

What angers me more than anything else is the reasoning behind Sousa's sacking. The man was sacked for divulging sensitive confidential information about the club when Gianni Paladini has been divulging sensitive confidential information to yourself and others alike on a daily/weekly basis since the takeover. Now you tell me that isn't the case, come on then put that in print for all see.

Paulo Sousa's sacking was never about the football with you and I don't know why posters including myself get into a footballing debate with you on the subject because its far more sinister than that.

Ooh hello, I like you! :super_man:

Clinton Morrison??

Thats a rumour right??

[USQRanger]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but after Sousa went the writing was on the wall for the club. DoF doesn't work in this country, I would love an example where it has been successful?

I hate Gianni, he is a cancer within our club. He is a liar and he takes backhanders, we all know it too.

If Pete would like to associate himself with people like that then more fool him. Through previous sponsors who were around before the takeover I can guarantee you that GP is a nasty lying piece of work, I used to sit in the directors box and I saw it with my own two eyes.

[qprsouth]

and still we dont get an answer from you pete...was gianis phone engagged when you asked for an answer?????????......Dont try and tell us you dont speak with him by phone as you and i both know that you do....

Clinton Morrison??

Pretty disapointing that's all you can comment on from the posts in this thread.
Still, il do the decent thing and answer your question, it's only courtious.

Clinton Morrison's name was mentioned during that summer, in the media and by yourself. As Morrison was an ex dowie player and the fact It was confirmed yesterday by nodge, that is good enough for me.

So, if nodge is incorrect, are you saying dowie did not want Morrison and was happy with what he was given (di carmine) or was there someone else that dowie wanted?

And he's in a position of authority within OUR club, a position where he represents OUR club to others. And the bloke is absolute ****. I don't want him anywhere near QPR.
