GA hasn't lost the dressing room. He never had it. At some point, someone in lower management who speaks to the players is surely going to have to speak to someone in upper management. Hopefully, soon.

Everyone blames the middle-management. Cheap shot and makes it easy for everyone else.

Lock the workers, lower management and upper management in a room and they can tell us all how it’s done.

80% of this problem is from 80% of the QPR workforce!! That certainly flies in the face of pareto principles :emoticon-0102-bigsm :emoticon-0102-bigsm . We never did follow convention.

Hadn't heard of pareto principles before. Thought at first it was that Spanish player we had when we were rich!

And yes, the principles do appear to apply to QPR

If we do somehow manage to survive this season what happens next season and the season after that? Is there any light at the end of the tunnel or are we just going to plummet through the divisions and accept that’s our fate.
Where are the board and what’s the plan? It actually feels like they’ve given up. There are loads of teams with less resources than us and smaller fan bases that have strong teams and ambition. Our performance in the first 45 minutes yesterday has to be one of the worse I have ever seen.

I don't really understand FFP but I think this season is especially hard because we're at the end of a 3 year cycle. I think next season starts a another cycle so in theory they could gamble again with more extravagant spending on players. Something like that anyway.

What state we're in come next season is anyone's guess though.

We have a Division 1 manager type thingy who is doing his best to get us there.

l think the team should all wear belt buckles in support of their manager…… in fact, l’m looking for mine now!

He's an embarrassment I want a proper manager looking the part not a bloody scruffy biker type, he is so far out of his depth that the RNLI couldn't save him

No, we're constantly in the **** as it's a rolling three year cycle....having sold nobody of any worth since Eze we need to cut our expendature drastically unless someone is willing to pay silly money to Palace and we get a nice slice of sell-on dosh

In that FFP-case we are prisoners of our abilities… That FFP decision is harsh when the club is what we have been for a long time
 
I was just thinking in the 12 years since Bernie&Flav mugged Fernandes and we got promises of new stadium etc., we have seen the following in London:

Brentford, Spurs and Wimbledon have new stadiums
West Ham blagged the Olympic Stadium for peanuts
Fulham are upgrading CC
Palace start upgrading Selhurst Park next year
Scum got planning permission for the Bridge before Roman sold up
Even Dulwich Hamlet got permission for a new stadium
And we are still stuck at HQ with no prospect of any respite from our financially crippling situation...

Happy days...

We are the only club that aren't allowed any ambition due to FFP.
All the others manage it however.

Some of the stuff I’m seeing on social media against Ainsworth is ****ing vile. No problem with showing dissatisfaction, booing, calling for him to be sacked etc but the personal abuse is out of order, imho.
We truly have a ****y fan base sometimes.

This is what I hate. I didn't want Ainsworth and don't think he's up to the job but I'm not going to slag him off.

This was on the bedroom wall of the cottage we stayed at recently on PEI. Of course my blinkered eyes saw only "I love QPR"! The owner allowed me to take it if I replaced it with something of similar size.

I actually found, likely for most people, a much nicer poppy field scene, rather appropriate as that is present by the entrance road to the cottages.

Absolute ****ers.
I don't rate him and I think he's out of his depth, but I quite like him and giving him personal abuse is pathetic.

I was speaking to a Watford fan today who was at the game, standing amongst other Watford fans thinking “what just happened” about the first goal, the big question was did Watford start the game without opposition being ready.
I guess the answer is a resounding yes

Agreed. I get the gallows humor we all try to partake in to get us through this. But the personal abuse is neanderthal and hateful. I don’t have the time for such loathsome hatred to anyone or anything.
I like GA, his different style shows his individuality and non-conformity to not be like the pre-packaged football manager. I like that he tries different things no matter how crazy it might seem. He’s doing it from the right place … his heart.
I wish he hadn’t left Wycombe to come here, not because he’s no good or not good enough for us, because I never wanted him to fail with what he was walking into with us. I didn’t want his status as a player with us to end up as a horrible memory for him, or us, to look back on in the future.
