With a very interesting clue about his future. Seems like he's only seeing it out for Tony. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/oliver-holt-column-harry-redknapp-3536136
Make your mind up. A few weeks ago you were saying that your fantastic 'inside source' had told you that Tony wanted rid of Redknapp last summer, but he refused to go for less than a full contract pay off.
Thanks Flyer for posting that. It confirms that his heart isn't really in it. There appears to be a sense of obligation or duty to Fernandes.
I dont give a F**K if his heart is in it or not. he's got QPR to a final at Wembley....when was the last time that happened. Olly didnt, colin didnt, and the countless other manager havent. ( i know it was being rebuilt) If we win at Wembley, does this put him up there with Colin then?
So which of your own posts do you believe? A press story or what your mate told you? Or is asking a question 'trolling'?
I hear Tony's given Ji Sung Park a contract extension, Flyer's mate said so, going to be announced today.
I wouldn't even bother mate because by my calculations he can only see one post in this thread of his. He has the rest of us on ignore!
If we don't go up, I could see Harry passing on the baton over the summer. If we do go up, it will just be too much of a temptation for him not to manage a team in the Prem, for all his health problems
Or shunted upstairs somehow, giving him dignity, a steady income and the time to do his punditry. I could live with this as long as he doesn't get to pick the next manager from his bunch of cronies. I notice WBA have been linked with Paul Clement......
I'm sure he's done no matter what, the only job he'd ever do now is if Bournemouth got into the prem. He will want to win at Wembley, go out on a high.
I'm still quite surprised at yours and other's dislike of Harry "the man" Stanley. I know you've explained it in the past but I just don't get it. I'm really fond of that Geezer
Anyone who has just understood Harold's heart may not be in it needs a whip from one of my human waste socks. Saying that football has changed a lot recently and the quote it's the nature of the beast is branded around after every managerial replacement ... it's a job and as fans we expect them to care more than we do at times. I have never had any faith in him at other clubs because it's his back room team that seems to do the work What we have today at QPR is a list of named players and to date there is still no settled side IMO. There will always be surprises and our Korean left back is one of them Burnley had a excellent settled side that grew into this campaign as to a lesser extent did the Foxes and they deserved the prizes Derby again settled due to Stephen We have one match left to support the club but I would never change my mind on football basics at QPR ... we haven't had any ... only change ... yes we have had injuries to players but no back up plan You can slag off Flyer but he is correct on the whole because he understands the game We did very well on Monday and it's great and has given us a real chance but we will have our work cut out against any settled team at the moment IMO I live QPR and of course i hope we take our chance now, get up and then guess what we are back to the start again by needing a new team and hopefully a new direction
But Dave, That is precisely why relegated sides from the EPL struggle. Because they will always either lose players that want to remain in the EPL, or keep (for various reasons) players that think they should still be in EPL. Leading to a disrupted squad. Teams that have taken a few years building ( in the right way) in the Championship will always have a huge advantage. You cant just comment on QPRs problems/weaknesses, because all relegated clubs have this problem, and the stats prove it !! Then ocassionally clubs like Stoke and Swansea and Southampton get it very right and have a prolonged spell in the EPL. Include Fulham in the group, but then one bad season and down you come again. And there are clubs that get it wrong, and get relegated within a season or two (or three), like us, and many others. Thats football !!
Strangely I think we will be in better shape than Leicester or Burnley if we go up but they'd both be in better shape if the 3 of us went back down again. When we buy a new squad this summer, we have to buy players with relegation clauses and ones who will play in either league. Not more players like Remy who were good but won't play in this division. I think Fulham are in trouble, they are just about the only team with a squad older than ours. Cardiff and Norwich can still challenge as they still have their core from this league. I just want a young core, more players like Yun who you can get excited about, not ones who are a shell of their former selves. I know its a long running joke but surely now most people can see how wed be better off long term.
