See the latest **** about 5 subs? All for the big squad teams.
I really wish they'd f*ck off to the Super League and take their plastic fans with them...
Scrap that idea so we can have special teams. Bring on 10 defenders for free kicks; 2 goalkeepers for pens; switch to 5 6’5” forwards for corners; bring on quarterbacks for throw-ins. We need to change this game up a gear.
It’ll work I tell you.
Must stop drinking in the morning.

Settles the discussion I think.
Warburton is here to end of season, and so he should be
His contract is a rolling year contract, so will cost us nothing if let go at end of season. ( well done the board again, learnt a lesson or so)
If he gets us to Premier League from here, well then he deserves a new contract

If he gets us to the premier league from here, he deserves a new contract, a pay rise and a 50-foot high solid gold bust of his bald noggin built atop Loftus Road.
The bloke can stand no criticism whatsoever.
I wouldn't want him replaced before the end of the season. That really would be daft.
Disrespectful?
Have a ****ing day off.
I'm not sure it settles anything. How often have we seen owners give a vote of no confidence and then sack the manager the next day? I think it depends whether the board have someone waiting in the wings, and whether a miracle happens and we put in a decent performance against the Blades.
I have no idea whether in the short term we’d be better off with him or without him, but man he spouts some self regarding bollocks.
At the end of the day we'd have to pay him compensation if we sacked him now, whereas as at the end of the season he's out of contract. If money is as tight as we're led to believe not even our chumps would pay him up with 7 games left to go. If they were thst ambitious for promotion they'd have spent some money in January so I can't see them spending it to remove him with so little of the season left. The only people available now to replace him I wouldn't want, wait till the end of the season and put together a list of decent and viable replacements. Like I said if they're shrewd enough and brave enough there are some good younger managers out there. I don't trust our board to find any of them though

Bit harsh (but fair).
No no. None of it is his fault. It's all down to the number of fixtures, injuries, bad refereeing decisions.....................
Everything but anything Warburton has done...........
Apparently.

Exclusive: Mark Warburton could earn automatic QPR contract extension, confirms Hoops chief Hoos
Hoos, speaking exclusively to Standard Sport, has dismissed talk that Warburton is set to face the sack after four straight defeats dented Rangers' push for the top six - and issued a rallying cry to players ahead of the final six games.
Warburton's contract is up at the end of the season and Hoos conceded that club and manager could still part ways at the end of the campaign, but added that there is every chance the former Brentford boss could earn a new deal - and a big finish to the season may take the issue out of QPR's hands.
“Mark came out after someone asked directly does his contract end [this summer],” Hoos tell Standard Sport. “It's not quite that simple. There are three avenues that we could go down.
"One which would be the contract ends this summer and we shake hands and say, ‘Let's everybody just take a step back and take a deep breath and figure out where we're going to go’.
"Second the contract ends, and we renegotiate another contract, and we continue on, or he hits certain trigger points in the contract, in which case is automatically renewed."
Hoos is reluctant to give specifics on what would trigger that clause, but adds: “[If it is triggered] we will have had a very good end to the season.”
Ahead of last month's international break, QPR had beaten Luton to move fourth in the table. However, Warburton's side have lost four on the bounce since then and now sit five points outside of the play-offs with six games to go.
Tempers have been raised among a disappointed fan base - something Hoos understands - but there is a clear message that the season is far from over just yet.
“The fans have always been behind us,” says Hoos. “One thing I never forget [about football], is that it is about venting. The whole thing is about venting.
“When it goes well it is fantastic and it goes great, but when it does not you just want to get it out. I do it just as much as the next man, I just can't do it publicly - my wife has to bear the brunt of that.
“I am in the same boat, so is Mark Warburton and Les [Ferdinand]. There is a level of frustration. I mean everybody needs to remember this team is good. Players, you guys are good. Just reconnect with that, don't overthink it, just go out and do what comes naturally.”
Whether QPR make the play-offs or not, there can be heart taken from the fact they are no longer betting the house on pushes like these and will be well placed to go again this season.
However, few inside the club like to see it that way.
“You can say look how far we have come,” Hoos says. “I know how far we have come but it is about making sure we continue on that journey.”
In continuing that journey, Hoos and those around him at senior level must find a way to compete with those clubs - such as Fulham, Norwich and Watford - who happily bounce between the Premier League and Championship aided by the parachute payments each season.
Parachute payments are a double benefit now, a soft landing and a boost.
FA figures released last month revealed that their London rivals had spent more than £10million on agents fees between February 2021 and the end of the January transfer window - almost a quarter of all the cash spent on such fees in the entire Championship and more than 10 times what QPR spent.
“It is tough,” says Hoos.
“It is one of the reasons why the Football League are saying - from a competitive standpoint - we have to do something about parachute payments.
“Clubs have said all along that they are a problem and they hurt. They are supposed to be a soft landing. It's a double benefit now, they get a soft landing and a boost.
“I don't want it to sound like we've hit a headwind and now we're moaning, this isn't sour grapes.
“The Premier League has to play ball on this if we're going to get traction, and they're clearly not. It is in their interest to keep kicking the can down the road. Football is incapable of changing unless the government comes in, the reality is that it is incapable of governing itself.”

What a complete load of bollox, he's a chump too if he thinks our season isn't over. Obviously the trigger points are getting into the play offs and getting promoted. Why Hoos and not the Chairman is coming out and saying this tells me that the men in power are hiding and know deep down what needs to be done. It's all very head in the sand time, gutless in my eyes.
Guess the only alternative is for him to come out and say, "yeah, it's done...the boys should put their feet up and take the foot off the gas because this season is over"...in which case we'd all be up in arms because they've given up when it is still mathematically possible.
Agree about the owners...it seems like they want to keep a low profile, which I'd assume either means they aren't wanting to be involved in the day to day stuff, or they don't want to look hypocritical when they back the manager this week, then sack him next.
Don't remember anyone at qpr complaining about parachute payments when we were getting them
