Doesn’t really bother me but I prefer you to Clive, who I’ve never met so he’s definitely never bought me a pint.

I'm not fussed either. It's interesting that there are no QPR new manager betting markets, which would suggest that the new manager has been done.
Rains stopped and the sun is shining here, so I'm off out to walk the dog.

Kiwi arrives at Heathrow at 2:00, an ambulance will be waiting to take him direct to HQ, interview a formality as he will rock the board with his cranberry juice and stout cocktail, I believe Steelsie drinks these from a pint mug, he’ll be announce on Thursday. I’m sitting by my phone waiting for the call.
I heard this from a guy laying under the archway bridge

So the club are going to harness the power of the Xmas countdown clock, which I still secretly blame for the mess we are in.
 
We need someone who can marshal a defence, stop us being overrun in midfield - and have someone take a corner that doesnt hit the first defender would be a bonus. Id be happy with Warnock for now - we can take time to pick a "permanent" manager
 
Sure hope it's NW, hardly know anything about this Lamouchi fella. Regardless, if it turns out to be NW, it will be a monumental task for him to save the club from the huge drop into the abyss of League-1. Surely our luck will change one of these days? Somewhere along the line we have really upset the God-of-Gods, Zeus?
 
Have no idea how true the rumours are. However, I did hear one thing from the horse's mouth...

Warnock said, near the beginning of this season, that he's gotten the bug for full-time management back, and so this could be a longer term agreement than last time (as long as his age allows!).
