    Really? So telling Ollie talk to Leicester and then putting him on gardening leave because he did talk to them is ok in your book?

    He is obviously going to “big up” his current club and we all have associated life at QPR to being like a soap opera haven’t we? Everything is so black or white for you isn’t it? No grey areas at all. Have you forgotten what he did for our club, how he hauled us up from the lowest point that many of us can remember?

    By the way, I assume you also hate Terry Venables then?

    Nope.

    He also helped us get relegated with either 0 or 1 win in 14 games and when we went up, it wasnt on a shoestring budget, it was on a top 2 budget. Hes a bit like Warnock, always saying how is current club is the best, some people just cant tell that they are being lied to their face. Hughes hasnt bigged us up saying were better than Fulham or Blackburn has he? Hes just said were ambitious which we are.

    Blackpool are looking good now, but then they looked good right before WHU scored.

    Thought Green was going to let that free kick in just like the England one...

    Being an Rs fan, have you ever noticed how the inevitable disappointment even extends to who you want to win in so-called neutral matches? West Ham are up, despite us wanting Ollie's Tangerines. It's always the way, isn't it? We even had to lose last week to get City across the line ahead of United.

    You just know that Cashley, Fat Frank and The Drog are going to triumph tonight, don't you?

    West Ham are probably the most arrogant club there is relative to what they've achieved. They were passing round a big 'World Cup Winners 1966' flag.

    Anybody who lives south of say, Sheffield.

    Seriously, real shame Ollie didn't make it, I'm sure playing us in the Prem would have been special for us and him. Nothing against the Irons except that idiot blogger, Allardyce and their owners. They have no cash and a mid table at best manager, they'll struggle.
    Bet Tony is looking forward to the away game already.

    I would have liked Blackpool to win for the Ollie factor but happy that West Ham won as my great grandad used to play for them

    I, as I&#8217;m sure others here were, was on the pitch when Terry Venables said he was going to stay at QPR for ever. I&#8217;ve not ever held leaving for Barcelona against him, but by your criteria he must be a liar and disgrace too.

    When Ollie took over we were too far gone to save, you really can&#8217;t blame him for that relegation. Stopping our slide was a tremendous achievement which was done with no budget, only being able to sign players available on a free transfer, not even able to pay relocation expenses. Sure, once we were out of administration, he had some budget and duly got the club promoted.

    Some managers talk up their current club, some don&#8217;t. We all take it with a pinch of salt, well I thought that we all did. I personally find Hughes&#8217; downbeat style a little disheartening, but I&#8217;m sure that is just his public face. Each to their own.

    Anyway the great reunion won't be happening next season.

    Flyer, mate, Holloway did an incredible job. The team he was left to try and keep in the second tier was very poor and he can't be blamed for that. We had a handful of senior players and he built a great squad at that level from not a lot. I know it turned sour in the end but I blame Paladini for that and Holloway, as a player and manager, is a genuine Rangers legend.

    Obviously you cannot have seen him play as he was a target of the boo boys when he played. He was no more than a Bircham but then again some people think hes a legend too.

    Who do you blame then? It has to be Francis. I know the Club was in a mess off the field but Francis' second spell in charge was rubbish.

    Agreed. Francis ****ed it up and Holloway wasn't able to save an almost sunken ship. He then worked wonders to get us back up.

    Fat head wouldn't even leave when Ollie came in. Himself and his Mullet were sat on the bench when Ollie was supposed to have taken over!

    Maybe it was really Gerry that took us down after all...........

    Of course it was. You wouldn't say Terry Connor took Wolves down.

    Indeed. Was it you that said you wouldn't allow Connor into a room on his own if there was a bit of rope in it?!!
