Karl Robinson for me, he plays the game the right way, he knows the Championship and League One thoroughly and would, given the backing, identify quality players from that level who would improve us. Whoever it is we won't be troubling the play-offs this season so give him time to produce a better footballing side who would be ready to make the step up in time, all this 'we must go up by whenever' means we are never properly prepared. Look at how Bournemouth bridged the gap, it can be done...

I think he's a bit of a myth to be honest. Had good budgets for the level he was at and took years to get MK up for a season.

It's not a pretty picture is it!
Agree with Clement, but there's no way he would leave another high profile role to join this basket-case club as it is at the moment.
We need someone who can get the club moving but also develop a team that can change the culture of this club - I keep hearing how it has a feeling of failure about it when you walk in. We are desperate for a shake-up to the core.
It's all very grim reading. I've never heard so many dispirited fans as I have over the last few months.
This board has had so many chances to get it right, and failed. They need to get this one right.

He could definitely shake things up

Given the players Jimmy had available and the emphasis from the Club and supporters on building slowly, consolidating, Jimmy was getting the expected results. Too many supporters say they are happy with this consolidation, but in reality dont have the patience for it. So both CR and JFH get sacked. There's little point in hiring another Head Coach of this nature, a Robinson for example, to continue a slow build that probably will never result in PL football. The only good reason to fire Jimmy is if the Board are intent on using some Cash to bring in an experienced successful Manager and strengthen the Squad considerably with the Players needed to give us hope of promotion. Otherwise sacking Jimmy is just another huge mistake.
 
Would love Clement but he'd be mental to leave Bayern for us. Can't see it.

The list of favourites for the job is scarily poor. It will be Sherwood.
He was mental enough to leave working with Ancelotti for Derby. But I suspect you are right.

I would love to know the selection criteria, beyond 'does Les know him and is he prepared to come to QPR?'
 
I think the bottom-line here is the club are panicking yet again, one bad decision, both in selection and timing, followed by another and another. There is NO strategy, it is we'll do it this way and then we'll do it that way and all the time the team has little direction, no motivation and the inevitable decline towards the bottom six continues. I have to say I have absolutely no confidence that the newcomer will be anything other than another poorly selected 'name' who has already failed elsewhere and will fail again...

I will support whoever is at our club, whether they are a player or manager, so will support whoever is brought in. I hope that Paul Clement is offered and takes the job, but I doubt he will. If I was given the choice of Sherwood, Robinson, Allardyce, Pearson or Giggs, I would choose Hasselbaink again!!

Think this is key. Whoever it is we must get fully behind them and the team, even if it is Sherwood.
