I have been a QPR fan for 29 years now, and as we all know, the R's have never had a smooth ride. What i am witnessing at the moment under Mark Hughes and his coaching entourage of mercenaries has to go down as one of my most frustrating periods in supporting this club! Yes yes we had Flavio and Bernie and about a million managers, but shrewd business men they turned out to be by eventually hiring the correct manager to get them where they needed to be for a profitable sale. Tony Fernandes and the 'mysterious consortium' stepped in, and understandably so, wanted their own man in charge. Someone who could lift the team from a sinking 17th position and stabalise us as a premiership team. In step Mark Hughes, ex super striker with no managerial achievements and a distinct lack of personality! QPR will never be in another relegation battle while im manager, and so with that comment came a hefty transfer kitty and some excitable expectations. A pre-season much like a holiday get together with a manager and owner claiming 'that's most of our business done' and 'we are very happy with these signings'. Where is the new centre back that was obviously needed to sure up our defence?, oh and really happy with Rob Green, so much so, that lets get a replacement quick sharpish. A opening day dream result, but sadly not for us! Followed by all manners of negative record breaking achievements. No away win, no win yet still we are told not to panic, Hughes is the man! Keep faith, keep paying more like! Hughes will stabalise us with his only formation of 4-4-2 and constant selection of over rated, highly paid prima donnas! 11 games in and not once, thats right once, has this guy taken a shred of responsibility for our situation! The pre recorded post match interview is on again, he makes it look easy! We were unlucky, we played well, we haven't gelled, tell them Tony, its not my fault!! No need to panic, keep the faith wink wink!
The transfer policy appears to have been any washed-up has-beens or out-of-favour foreign mercenaries not necessarily playing in positions that we required them. M'Bia was the perfect example of this, he didn't want to come, thought we were in Scotland and has been used in a position he dosen't like playing in, then gets a three-match red card for petulance. You really couldn't make it up...
That's not Marks fault either, remember he said it might go wrong and be a struggle................remember anyone???? This guy is a top class manager in his own head! Lets give him at least another 27 games to take us down and then resign!
On the flip side and a positive note ................. we CAN still get out of this. We, or should I say TF just needs to act, NOW! The underlying fact is that we need a really positive manager to come in ................... not a Coyle or alike. Even Ollie would have been the type of person we need. Someone who can 'flap the gums' ( talk the talk & walk the walk ) ............. TF, any time from this moment on would do nicely.
boring hell. edit - Sorry, very rude of me...you make good points bob, im just fed up of reading the same kind of stuff. Guess I will give it a break for a while.
Not really, they only do it once a week, not 100 times a day!! Think I'll head off into the sunset as well til the end of the season. Can't stand all this anymore, I feel like I'm in groundhog day now. I can never remember whether I've been on here or not these past few weeks because every thread and post is the same. Change the f**king record someone FFS!!
The guy who took Blackpool down. The same bloke who lost to Vauxhall Motors and couldn't work out how to beat 9 man Luton. The same bloke who wouldn't change things when all was going wrong. The bloke who gave me a 'neck ache' with all that long ball rubbish. Worse football ever seen at the Rangers? MH may not be doing it but 'Hollowhead' is not the man. Great at that time never now.
Norty Holloway is not the answer. I don't have an answer to our situation other than ride out the storm but then it maybe too late, i don't know but some names that have been mentioned are wrong. The team we have would not work under a Holloway style of play.
Pretty much hit the nail on the head bobmid. The doubts for me started when TF decided to use the club to market his airline pre season and after beating a few pub teams, they described it as perfect preparation. They've been out of touch with reality since. We mock Flav and Bernie but they would never have put up with this s***. I don't think I've ever copped this much from my scum mates. TF brought in a lot of promise but delivered nothing to date, other than plans for a new training ground. What else?
He won't and I really don't care how good TF thinks he is. He's lost the fans and will never get most of them back. Past the point of no return.
Cheers bob, and may you drown in your own misery you grumbly old codger while I bask in a sunshine of happiness not to have to listen to you and your repetitive friends boring posts! Think I'll be the one who's better off...... ;-)
Sounds good soopermack! Everyone has an opinion and they're entitled to it. It's becoming the norm on here to abuse anybody who doesn't want him sacked or offers a difference. Just look at the poor new poster on HIS thread who was given a load of crap. His personal opinion is as valid as anybody else's. if you disagree just say so and argue the point. Many good posters are throwing in the towel against the negative backlash. It's getting to the point I feel the same.
I've not abused anyone infact look at macks post and that's where you will find insults. Its really simple lads, don't likey don't postey !!
You need to read my post again bob. I've specifically said what I'm referring to and it wasn't you. I don't agree with your stance but its your opinion and your entitled to it. I quite enjoy some of your posts with some insightful football knowledge so its not having a pop at you. Re read it and I hope you can see that. Don't likey, don't postey is right but if everybody on one side of the argument exercises that right because they're bored with abuse rather than reasoned argument then it will make for a very dull board for those that remain.
