Just met Paulo Sousa

[WeAreQPR12]

EYR doesn't matter a toss how good a footballer he was. Look at ferguson. He was a **** footballer but best manager in the world so lets keep it real. Sousa is a lovely guy but thats not going to get us out of this division and I think the players need a kick up the #### with a stricter manager. Must go british this time!!

IVE a great idea lts get ray wilkins back...now hes very like sousa TALKS A GOOD TALK maybe that would make you sousa lovers happy

Good point DFE.Ray was a great player but an awful manager.Seems to have found his niche as a coach.Shearer is another example.Great player but is expected to be a great manager due to his playing career.Don't work like that.

well

playes of world standing vey rarely make good managers read alex fergusions wikipedia read arsene wengers wikipediea
any body can get his football coaching badges
think of all the thousands of ex footballers
its about having the ability to psychologically get into someones mind
most footballers just havent got that special quality
thats why sousa was a ridiculous appointment he had no managerial experience in this division he was very unlikely to be successfull
and he made the most basic mistake ever
YOU DO NOT DROP YOPUR LEADING GOALSCORER

[EYR]

Darren Fergie has got P'boro out of two crap divisions where the standard is basically the same in both,yes he has done well but the proof is in the pudding next year (wherever he may be)
Darren Fergie has had it easy at P'boro never really been under pressure how would he cope at QPR where the pressure mounts within a few games?
Has Fergie got the ability to turn things round when it goes #### up? (as it always does at Rangers)
Im not convinced by him.

Roy Hodgson and Gerard Houllier are another coulpe of managers who come to mind who never had much of a career as a player but are great managers.

Another one is Tony Adams.Great player but is awful at man management.

Sorry, DFE, you DO drop your leading goalscorer when he is out of form -- and any manager worth his salt will do that.
Dex had become very hit and miss in his goalscroing and his form.

Personally, I think Dex's time with us was running out the day RJ died -- affected his mindset too much, and he needed a fresh start from that day -- hopefully now he'll get it.

so how come stan bowles agrees with me is he unstable too......this ste you get the thoughts from both sides some are sousa lovers some are like me
ive been supporting qpr for fifty years

whats your point about 50 years........in any case if you have supported the R's that long why harp on about wilkins and sousa all the time...been many a clown at loftus road mate.
you should leave the past where it's supposed to be..in the past.
according to you we should get the dream team in ...venables,francis & holloway.....you would be happy as larry then....

I for one am very pleased you did post this, W12. Thanks for that. It was very interesting to read this and just confirms much of what impressions I had of PS, that is to say a man of tremendous dignity and integrity, particularly demonstrated in the whole manner he handled his departure.

[pblockranger]

yes i wish i could talk to him i would advise him to train as a gas engineer
transco pay 275 pound a day
like wilkins he does a fantastic job as a guest on games bad sadly cant get into players brains

transco dont exist any more its all national grid and they definietly dont pay that much a day as i used to work for them dunno where u pulled that from dex

"venables,francis & holloway". Actually they weren't bad players and managers were they. Dowie wasn't bad either. Klinsman wasn't bad. Oh yeah and that other guy wasn't a bad player or manager. erm what was his name again? What was it? Oh that's it, Brian Clough.
