    It is also on iplayer for the next week. (You can download it, start playing it, stop it and then watch it for up to 28 days as well. You need to start playing it to download the licence to play it because it's DRM protected)

    Sousa was sacked as he told a fan outside the ground that a player was injured. It wasnt as bad as they made out, especially as Paladini regularly leaked info to puppets on a certain message board and even posted on one detailing signings.

    Sousa was being pig headed and losing games by playing one up front to make a point though.

    Flyer, I know you saw the post that was made by the fan as well, and you know there was more than one player mentioned in it and it was more than just injuries. Does ade's forum go back that far back or was it on the old address back then?

    EDIT: Used the wrong username because I was thinking about the other forum

    watched it after MOT2 last night and it was a great watch. puts Flavio and Gianni in a good light. DQPR were a mess upto Flavio stepping down. Certainly makes you think what happens elsewhere behind the scenes....ie.Chelsea for example.

    The answer to that was in the Intro at the start. It should be made No.1 priority watch on How Not To Run A Football Club.

    I just watched, it's up on iplayer.

    Enjoyed it, some genuinely funny moments. The bloke with the curly hair in the car saying everything "had gone to ****...a turd". Made me laugh.

    That Amit bloke seemed to have his head screwed on, far more than the others.

    Still hope they go down though.

    Holy ****ing **** Briatore is completely nuts! No concept of patience or team building. However that man has managed to make himself so successful is beyond me, if he can do it then I bloody can...

    If I'm thinking of the right season, 2 of them were caretaker managers that were only ever appointed on a temporary basis. I know on the QPR forum at the time the way the press made out they'd sacked a lot of managers in a short time when they'd only really made about half the changes claimed was a discussion point.

    Well they had Holloway for 5 years.

    Then they had:

    Some Italian guy
    Dowie
    Magilton
    Harford (caretaker)
    Sousa
    Warnock
    Ainsworth (caretaker)

    Sod it, LINKY

    They had 2 managers after Holloway before that list starts. Just going through the permanent managers under Briatore:

    John Gregory - not exactly great results wise, and he wan't their man so there's no issue with them bringing their own man in to replace him.

    De Canio - went back to Italy at the end of the season. I think it was his Mrs couldn't settle, it was some personal reason for turning down a new contract/getting released from the one he had so they had no choice but to replace him.

    Dowie - nobody could understand why he was hired in the first place. They'd expressed a desire for someone to play attacking football and then brought in Dowie who'd done nothing for years and who's Palace team when they came here was one of the most negative time wasting sides I saw before Burnley became so bad for it that their keeper decided to wear his PJs to games. In fact, did Burnley sign Kiraly from Palace?

    Sousa - sacked for disclosing sensitive information about several players, some of the injury related comments he wasn't qualified to give either. I think he's been fortunate that the information disclosed about players' injuries hasn't resulted in them not being able to find clubs/get new contracts.

    Magilton - sacked for assaulting one of the players.

    Hart - walked out after a month in the job.

    Warnock - outlasted Briatore


    You can only really say that getting rid of Dowie with a 50%+ win rate was an unreasonable change. The rest they were left with little choice when they got up to what they got up to, or left of their own accord.
