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...

This!

Nail on the head with your post Sooper<ok>

Who takes your fancy Ninesy?

I can't say that I'm enamoured with anyone on those betting lists Stan, hence why I haven't commented. I honestly don't know. I thought it would be Paul Clement but his football at Derby was an approach much like Hasselbaink's, odd team selections, negative football and didn't know his best side despite being in the job for seven months.
 
That's interesting ... Paul Clement has just started following Tony Fernandes on twitter.

if only i had known it was that easy to be considered
i will do the job on a rolling ten grand a week contract (saving the club money tick)
youngish (compared to most on here tick)
wont eat on the plane over (hungry tick)
flexible on the ten grand and wont do any public speaking and promise to put the players in the correct positions
 
until he was our manager. Cut Sherwood or whoever next manager is some slack,for Christ's sake. Not a likeable bloke but he may just be what we need. No Rangers or CFC connections may be a good thing. Too many people seem to be
jumping on the we hate Sherwood bandwagon based on,presumably, a couple of arrogant MOTD interviews . I don't understand what harm he has ever done us and there are no other stand out candidates. I would like Karl Robinson but he has just relegated a side so that's not 100 % ideal.
Whoever gets the gig ,give the poor soul a chance.

The jobs yours although you'll need to do some sucking up to SLF first.

TBH, I actually believe that some on this board could do a better job, at least would start playing people in correct positions etc which would be a first in the passed 4-5 seasons.

Was thinking about this earlier. There was no great enthusiasm at the time from what I remember. We were at the end of our tether with the Flavio/Bernie/Gianni circus. A bit like now without the PR/spin bombardment.
 
Very True
NW was a very unpopular choice st the time

He became the man because in one word Taarabt
 
could be wrong but didnt he demand 3 million a year last time he was consideed

I don't care how good your pitch, you ain't getting 3 mill.

He became the man because he is the only man who's been able to channel whatever talent Adel possesses into a team framework. Think of that. Then think of all the other managers AT has played under. And then think of how good NW was for us.
 
CLEM-IN TIME
Is Paul Clement to be named the new QPR boss? Bayern Munich coach ‘follows’ Hoops chairman Tony Fernandes on Twitter

Maybe they are long-time friends, but the move made today on social media could be a big clue to Clement's future

PAUL CLEMENT has dropped a major hint he could be in line for the QPR manager’s job.

The former Derby County boss is now coaching at Bayern Munich, but intriguingly followed Hoops chairman Tony Fernandes on Twitter today.

Paul Clement has followed QPR chairman Tony Fernandes on Twitter – next QPR boss?
With Clement’s odds having tumbled down to 6/1 second favourite for the job today, has there already been discussions between Clement and the QPR supremo?

The 44 year old turned down an offer to join Sam Allardyce’s coaching staff with England (probably a wise move), but a move back to his native London might well appeal.

He is also a QPR fan, was born nearby in Wandsworth, and his father David made 472 appearances for the Hoops.

Paul Clement’s last job in England was with Derby County, and he might fancy a return to his native London with QPR.

Clement was also on a three-man shortlist to replace Harry Redknapp back in 2015, before Chris Ramsey stepped into the breach – albeit unsuccessfully.

QPR are looking to move swiftly to fill the void left by sacking Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

The Dutchman was reportedly told five minutes after the final whistle blew of the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest that his time was up.

Hasselbaink was told by general manager Les Ferdinand not to say a word to the media or players about the decision.

Hasselbaink had feared the worst when owner Tony Fernandes sent him a text last week saying that the current squad should be chasing promotion.

Tony Fernandes will be looking to move swiftly to replace Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in the Hoops hotseat

Tim Sherwood is the frontrunner to take over at Loftus Road, but this latest development, on social media for the world to see, might well shift the goalposts somewhat.

And it seems the appointment would go down well with fans, who were quick to spot Fernandes' new social media friend.

Steve Allen believes the appointment would bring "entertaining football" to Loftus Road, while Niamh Gleeson "hopes it's true".

Paul Clement is coming, now lets get playing some entertaining football!

Paul Clement, hope it's true

Didn't realise Paul Clement was coaching at Bayern now. Would have him over Sherwood all day, despite the spell at Derby
