With great reluctance I must say

finglas, i don't think we have a choice tbh. TF/Les won't sack him because they have spent the last year saying how good he is.
People on here that know me will tell you, that I have always wanted QPR to be a boring mid/low Premiership team that beats Chelsea once in a while. Nothing special, maybe the odd cup run. I hate all the inconsistency, I have always wanted a manager to stick around and for us to just plod along. Sadly in the modern game it needs to be an instant fix.
However when something is not right then you must change it. JFH keeps making the same naive mistake and it is costing us. I really do fear for us now as 1 point in 5 games is relegation form.

Agreed ..... I don't think any of us expect too much from the team but we seem to be in the same position this time last year ..... so in a sense, we've achieved squat in 12 months.
To me, that is not acceptable.

We've never had a manager that was any good and I have always been the first to identify their deficiencies. They've all been sacked, so I have always been proved right.

Depends how far you go back Stroller, we have had some excellent managers in my time supporting the hoops. Alec Stock, Gordon Jago, Dave Sexton and Terry Venables to name but a few, but in recent years they've been a bit thin on the ground I will accept.

What a quandary. Nobody wants inconsistency - but it seems the only consistent thing about this team right now is losing points and games.
Playing players out of position seems madness. I'd rather play a mediocre player in position, and keep a good player in his best position than what seems to be happening right now. Forwards need chances, then we can criticise them if they don't score. Lots of midfielders, but we have a complete lack of creativity. A defensive back four that certainly has become inconsistent, and now seems all at sea and adrift of confidence.
First time I've looked at the fixtures and thought... where do we get our next win? I can't see it.
Wish I had an answer... I'll just have to make do with hope for now.

I think the saying is: once is chance, twice coincidence, three times a pattern. Well we've had four managers, three of whom have performed better elsewhere and one a rookie (how I hate Americanisms). On the face of it, at least three of them should have proved more successful than they proved to be.

To be fair, I'm not sure what more those appointing the team manager could have done.

Don't use Americanisms then.

I think Strolls was making a different kind of point mate. Something to do with retrospective infallibility. We have plenty of Popes on here.

I think Ramsey would have done OK given more time, and still think the same about JFH, as probably does SLF.

But for me we don't have time for this mid table consolidation bull which in reality means a relegation struggle and no PL football for seasons, at the same time as the financial situation for the Club will become more and more bleak.

We need to be aiming for a promotion this season and to do this Jmmy has to get his new team winning matches now. Maybe some of the new signings were not fit or ready to start Championship football and he had to play others. Maybe he's not allowed to play Sandro in the League. Whatever he must start winning games in the next 3 or 4 games or he has to go, and SLF with him. Bring in Colin if we can. He has got many teams playing above themselves- no reason he can't do it again.

Whe are not ready prem yet & think it would be a disaster if we went up, quite happy in championship for another season or two untill we are ready & wether it is with jimmy or someone else who knows.

That sort of lack of ambition will see us relegated if followed by the Club. At the same time income will decrease and the better players get sold. A continuing downward spiral.

Wednesday night is a match that JFH has to be really careful of

Although really it doesn't matter if we progress in the cup....BUT if Sunderland record their first win of the season against us (especially if they play their reserves) and/or if they smash us (JFH has already says he is resting players in the Huddersfield post match report) his position is then on a knife edge, regardless of any "saving players for the league talk".

He must be praying that our youngsters win on Wednesday

Having read it Stroller's post again I appear to have missed the point

Expect a Defoe hat-trick then.

Does anyone know who actually appoints the manager? What is the process? I'm curious to know if Hoos was involved at all. Assuming that you add Hughes to the list of people you wanted sacked (as did most of us), it's a very sorry list and reflects badly on those who appointed.

Charlie Cairoli has picked the last 4
