Nine minutes you won’t get back….

So to save you the time:
First five minutes he repeatedly stresses that the role of chairman is simply to run the board meetings, and that nothing else about his job has changed, remains accountable to the board of directors. This is rather different to the usual role of chairman in British companies, but there you go. He wasn’t asked if he was being paid to have more syllables in his job title. Neither was he asked about our vacancy for the position of Director of Football.

When asked about club funding he gets quite nervous, stumbling over his words, repeating himself. The long and the short of it we depend on the shareholders to keep going and he’s never been worried that they won’t stump up - he’s always had a 60 day cushion of funds.:emoticon-0107-sweat

Managerial change - effusive praise of Ainsworth as a man, but it’s clear that his appointment was completely off piste, no process followed, and what they expect from Cifuentes is more akin to Warburton/Beale, and ‘technical players’ to be reintegrated…….

Usual guff about how amazing the fans are, but noting that he’s not on social media so no point slagging him off on there. The fans he’s interested in are the ones who come to the games…..

Yeah, started to watch it whilst on the choo-choo out of Waterloo last night. About 1.27 in I decided that listening to the Eastern European woman arguing loudly and animatedly in Bulgarian (or whatever) to somebody on her mobile was more entertaining.

Very interesting although I guess obvious to us all -

"Cifuentes inherits a squad assembled under at least four predecessors and a team that has been losing for the best part of two years.
He takes over an attack that has scored 23 goals in their last 33 games. He is a long-term appointment at a time when QPR need quick wins and he will have no preseason to acclimatise players to an entirely different style than they have been accustomed to. There is little budget to work with in January and he has no sporting director to report to.
If Cifuenetes pulls this off and takes QPR away from relegation strife, it would be a monumental achievement."

Listening to the Guardian football pod’s Football League episode I’ve found out Nigel Clough has a dog called Bobby named after Zamora due to how he was ousted at Derby.
