You here again......nothing to talk about on your board then? If you have nothing constructive to say then I suggest you keep quiet.
2 maybe 3 points tops from those 4 games, this will not go away but by then it will probably be too late to do anything else......
I think this statement will have less effect under our current circumstances than if it was a statement at another club. I do understand why so many fans don't like Rednapp, he's got a big gob, shifts the blame, has a dubious underbelly and he doesn't look on the surface to have the same passion as in the past. This season is turning out to be the tightest season ever, especially in the bottom half. To say the line is so fine as to be invisible is an understatement. If you look at the table just 5 points separate 12th and bottom, never has it been so close with so many teams in the mix of relegation. But it is what it is which makes it a nervy time at best for all fans, but I think maybe just a little worse for us long time suffers than most, or at least a large portion of us. Rednapp has had his haters for some time, some with valid points, some verging on the extreme. Until the last week or two Rednapp had had very little to defend other than our appalling away record, looking at the table with some perspective says we are in no worse position than the rest of the bottom half bar a few points. So why so much hate towards our own manager? In the last week there have been some scathing attacks on Rednapp, again some with perspective and fair points, others not so. What I do find unbelievable is some of these stories are coming from Rangers fans/reporters who are using their own grudges to start, fuel and fan the flames which is causing our fan base to splinter and fall apart at a time when not only do we need to be strong, but support the team and club with every ounce of support we can muster. We are not in that bad a position, we really aren't, but this fan fuelled hatred of Rednapp and everything about him is making a difficult situation in to one that could seal our own fate. Fans swearing at Clint Hill and Dunne, really? Unbelievable how some morons believe that they're the people to pick on. But I believe now is the time for everyone to bite their tongue, put their hatred of Harry aside or into perspective and just support the team. If we were still languishing in League 1, never had rich owners or tasted the BPL again we'd never ever have been arguing about things like this, but we are cause we care. But the fans make the club what it is, without fans the club is nothing and right now the club needs us and all singing from the same page.
Stability and common sense … Look we chose him and only a few of us was against that . We knew he has no skills then and we should have stuck with Hughes and let him build. We didn't and about time a few didn't follow this instant success idea that a new manager will solve anything I would love to see a time that you cannot change your manager until the close season it would simply stop the bollocks He has failed to live up to his own reputation which i have always thought was overrated … of course i dislike the team that has developed and the laughable excuses he comes out with but he stays and he learns to become a football manager again for us his employer. We win or lose together What i hope happens is that he keeps us up and then and only then he is sacked.We then get a new man in and have a proper pre season
I really do believe we can stay up despite Harry remaining, but we have to start at Stoke, preferably 3 points....(I know I know!) We need 19 points from our remaining 16 games to reach safety, pretty tall order considering the quality of opposition in our home games. I think it's perfectly clear that unless we can bag 2 or 3 wins away from home our position will be pretty hopeless.
I share your sentiment. TF has made his decision and public vitriol from supporters is only going to make a bad situation worse. The nightmare scenario is relegation coupled with our backers walking away which would put the club on the road to a generation of obscurity at best and complete extinction at worst. I don't agree that things are as positive as you indicate however. In the first half of the season our performances were truly awful and we scraped by on fortunate home results and Austin's instinctive performances. But both the goals and our luck seem to have dried up along with our points tally. There were signs against United that a corner had been turned in terms of getting the tactics right and perhaps that plus Adel Taraabt finally getting his head sorted out will save us yet. I hope rather than think so.
We're QPR supporters who have lived on a string of hope for most of our lives, it's the expectation bollocks that's making us ill. I'm not saying things are rosey, what I am saying is it's some fans expectations that are killing us. That and some who believe they can second guess people's thoughts. We just need to get back to supporting the team, even if they're ****, just because it's QPR.
Disappointed by this, but interesting statement from Fernandes. Very clearly implies that the situation we are in is Redknapp's fault, which I think is good. Hopefully we will now stop hear him blaming others, or unforeseen circumstances for our situation. That's good. I struggle though, that somehow Fernandes has come to the conclusion that Harry is the best person to get us out of this mess. When he took over, in November 2012 we were bottom with only 4 points from 12 games. That year, we were relegated. So in the two and a bit years since then, we haven't really moved forward, as we are back in the same position, with the man who couldn't save us last time. This time, it is his own making. Why oh why, would we give him another chance to take us down before he retires?
I don't think it's a case of best person, just a case of at some point we have to stop the merry-go-round and just go where it takes us. Is there really anyone out there at the moment who anyone could say with certainty they'll keep us up, of course not. So better to stick with the person who brought these players together, rather than someone else come in and rip it all apart and start again.
Exactly. I've conditioned myself into believing we'll go down with Harry at the helm. Home wins will be hard to come by against top half of the table teams, and I don't see how we're suddenly going to become a decent "away team" playing other sides that are fighting for their lives. If I was TF I'd be thinking hard now about who will replace Harry in the summer, and then get him in before the transfer window opens.
pleased that Harry is staying....chairmen nowadays are far too trigger happy. Good to see that Tony is not one of them. COYR'S
I doubt we can afford relegation to the Football League. I hope TF is thinking about who to replace Harry with now, or at least funding the acquisition of such good players now in January, that even Harry will manage to keep us up with them. Alternately that Harry is staying in some figurehead role only, and Les Ferdinand and / or Hoddle will be really managing the Club, though I can't really see that working either.
We seem to have a saying at QPR, if it's broken then don't fix it! Mr 9's, you can add my name to that list of condolences. Anyway who's Clarity? Is that Steve Clarity the pundit on the the football league show? I don't want him anywhere near my club thank you very much!
Difficult for a new manager now that he won't be able to bring in players. Pulis did wonders at Palace but he used the transfer window to do it. Agree Hoddle might take it on if Harry goes since he knows the players, but I'm not convinced the end result would be very different. So we struggle on and hope that, if our team approaches impending games with the determination they showed on Saturday ( and if one or two fellow strugglers like Sunderland, Villa or Burnley helpfully implode) it might be enough. If we do go back down and have done our homework, we have the time to get in a talented young manager who is given sufficient funds to build a youthful team from the bottom up and enhanced training facilities. If we have to compete in the Championship for a couple of seasons to get a solid squad, I'd take that frankly. As for Football League fines, there'll either be a very long court case, or a quick settlement imho.
