If its Jfh I will be thoroughly underwhelmed. As stated above, this is the most important managerial appointment for many a year.......I'm still not sure who it should be but it should definitely be a pretty tough, experienced type, not another inexperienced experimental type manager.
The Times says we have interviewed Chris Powell, but that Jimmy FH is Les' preferred option, also interested in Gary Rowett.
Based on that, I'm starting to think that Rowett might not meet the requirements, unfortunately, that should not be the case.
What is worrying is that the fans can actually see this while the club can't It going to make the TF tweets about at last having the right man look and sound extra stupid They should play safe as NW won't get us relegated IMO and sort it out in May at the earliest If you take stock The message was let's stay in the division. Then it changed because we kept Austin, Sandro and Phillips to mix with our new fresh coach and signings. He was then sacked because they changed their minds The latest is we are interested in selling our best players in Jan as we have no money and our chairman has taken a back seat We now await the next episode Who is running our club?
Maybe we cannot afford the gritty managers...Pearson, Rogers...perhaps Colin doesn't want the job full time.# Perhaps we HAVE to go with these non-Guarantee managers like JFH or Powell
JFH and Chris Powell will be in and out before you know it, another car-crash decision in the making. After we lose some players in January there is a real risk we could find ourselves in a relegation battle if they get this wrong.
oh dear. Let's just keep Neil for the season then decide. No need to hurry - we wont be going up this year.
Farce from beginning to end. A lot of fans have lost all identity with this club now. At the end of the day, all we're doing is cheering for the shirts with any football club, but why is it that QPR don't even go through those small windows of time where we actually have a team and squad who we feel entirely comfortable with, and have a relationship with (maybe the Championship winning team, but this was gutted within months). Fernandes' tenure has been an absolute disaster. His terrible decision making has been the only constant of his reign
If we are to believe what most papers are saying, ( Powell or Hasslebank to be QPR manager ) we can only assume that such an appointment is based purely on the colour of their skin and not their ability. Someone please pinch me if this is the case, cause I'd swear we are living in 2015. Racial background, colour, race or gender should have no bearing on who is successful in the position. One major problem if such was to occur, the management would seemingly allow the manager to fail long term before any sacking, just to save face. No, I don't care what anyone says, the only manager that should be appointed is one who can get the desired results and not be a puppet on a string for the DoF or the owner.
I mentioned Chris Powell before the Times storyand said if we end up with him start looking at League One fixtures
I've had a suspicion for a while that our owners are trying to make political correct statements with their recent appointments. I'd love a successful black manager but the emphasis has to be on - successful for the club. I just hope the owners aren't choosing the new manager from a small pool of entirely black candidates.
In the same way that picking a Parliamentary candidate from an all-female pool is sexist. But few will complain and some will justify on the grounds that it is trying to redress a balance. But are the owners doing the best for our club? If not, can we object since it's their money, so perhaps they are entitled to pursue such objectives...?
We are making an awful lot of assumptions and judgments on the basis of very little evidence. "Rowett is brilliant." "JFH is overhyped, crap and may be appointed because of the colour of his skin". As opposed to the possibility that he may have interviewed well, may have a vision and may have been successful to date. I grant you that Rowett has been successful to date but whenever a manager is plucked from a lower league background and after a season or two of success there is inevitably an element of guesswork and luck for the owners if they manage to choose correctly. We also have a new bete noir (no pun intended) in Sir Les. On the basis of what precisely? He spoke up and enabled TF's eye to be opened regarding the lunacy of backing shysters like Redknapp and Hughes to the hilt. Was that wrong? He then backed Ramsay based on what he knew of him and the brief the Board gave him. That did not work out for him or for the Club. We move on. Is that the basis on which we are now to assume that he is in it only for himself? Personally, I am in the 'period of stability required' camp Take your time. Give the job till the end of the season to Warnock. Do the board really think that blowing another wad of cash away on a gamble to get into the Play Offs this season is really the way forward?
Whoever we get can they please go to away games for a win and not a 0-0 and actual have confidence in our players ability and get them playing as a team. I wanted NW for rest of the season but not playing a striker against Borough was a crime.
