    It's only the right decision if you find a better man. It is a huge leap of hope and faith to think they have.

    At a guess, they've looked and found someone who will make no demands on Speakman, just grateful to be back on the merry go round.

    Nah disagree there, keeping Mowbray would've been the cheaper option

    Three things from me
    1 there's reason they picked him and that will be a coaching reason
    2 it’s possible that you can do badly one place and well elsewhere - none of us know the personalities and conditions at rangers
    3 there are many people we’ve judged badly the previous 3 being examples Dodds, Mowbray, Neil
    So let’s not be diva’s and back him until we have a good reason not to

    Stunned if its Beale. Never criticize the club but this is a massive own goal.
    Awful appointment

    If there’s even a sniff of truth in the line that Still was sidestepped purely cos of compensation, then this is the beginning of a slippery slope for me and the owner.

    With the position the club is in, this could make or break the clubs whole future. We going for PL or for Poundland?

    I can see some players who may have stayed, and I mean likes of Clarke, wanting away if it’s as poor an appointment as this.

    Handful of decent results for QPR and a failure at a big job, but ‘ooh he’s free’.

    I hope this is bollocks.

    Can anyone give me some reasons to be positive about this?

    Being positive about this clubs decisions is my normal state but I am finding this so hard to get behind.

    I don't think there are any. He was hopeless at rangers, universally dislikes by fans and came across as a slippery **** who was out of his depth

    Two jobs as the big dog and he hasn't made it to 12 months in either.

    The guys in charge obviously have a much better handle on things than I do but this doesn't feel like a good move at all.

    Time will tell.

    One thing i will say, maybe don't trawl Scandinavia and the rest of Europe for exciting unknowns if you are going to end up hiring an unexciting known.

    Waste of time.

    Having watched a lot of Scottish football.
    He may be a good development coach. But I thought the plan was to progress our tactics to the next level.
    This bloke was absolutely clueless at Rangers and thats putting it mildly.
    Clueless tactically and a his press conferences were shockers. Nothing likeable about him at all.

    Will back him and hold my hands up if I'm wrong but I'm truely shocked by this
