Hi I have been reading this forum for many a year, and have never posted at all. This topic has got the better of me however, and i felt a need to express an opinion that might be right or might be wrong. I have been going to QPR games since 1980 when my father took me and my brother. Since then i have had seasons tickets most years, and when i havent had one i have been to 75% of the games in most seasons at home, and although not a regular no more on away days, have been to enough grounds to have a big opinion on all things QPR. My major concern is a lot like most of you. I follow forums, read twitter and social media, and know who is worth listening to and who isn't on the Rangers boards in general. No disrespect to anyone posting here, but we do have a few real knob ends on rangers boards in general and especially on the facebook and twitter pages. What really is happening to the club? What is so wrong with the current structure that we cannot get it right at the 3rd time of asking in this premier league, with all the wealth and experience at our disposal nowadays. What does Harry Redknapp really offer the club apart from being a social media darling/hero and although a lovely fellow it seems, what does he really have to offer our great little club. I have never been a fan of Harrys since he joined Rangers. Thats not wonderful hindsight, any of those that know me would testify that he is a wrong un at football clubs and that has been my opinion since day one. Money mad, delusional, tactically inept, has bought in all his friends and cronies from over the years and made sure they are all pensioned off to the nines. The standard of football isnt great, although at times we have tried to play a little better than we were in the early 2000s. The atmosphere is almost dead, the odd times the crowd get up for games, but every season brings new hope, and yet a matter of weeks into it, we are left with the same old deflated feeling. I dont know what the answer is, but Tony Fernandes for all his wonderful investment and his belaeagured belief is not working. I admire Tony and hope he stays with the club, but his vision of people running a football club is so far wrong its beyond a joke. We need football people at the helm, and if that means he has to step back a bit then so be it. I dont have the answers, but what i do know is Harry, Bondy, Jordan and this lot need to leave our club with immediate notice. We need to rebuild from the bottom and the top, we need to re establish the Queens Park Rangers we all know and love, and we need to do it from the bottom upwards. Reinvest in the youth policy, stop spending beyond our means, shelve plans for 45k all seater stadia, and new 50 Billion pound regeneration projects. We need new blood in building for the future, if the inevitable relegation happens this season, then we have to stop throwing good money after good money into a black hole, because we will be left with no club at all in the near future. Karl Robinson is about the best shout i have read on this forum, someone i have admired from a distance for the last 18 months or so. Build a side for the future, stop trying to solve the here iand now crisis we consistently find ourselves in. It is our club and if things dont change soon, we wont have a club in the near future that will have a history or one that will be respected by other fans. Other fans of local clubs and big clubs always had a soft spot for the QPR of old, thesedays we are as hated as the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, not because of our success but our failures. Its time we woke up and realised what a laughing stock we really are becoming Rangers. Thanks for listening, whether you agree or not. Freddie
I had forgotten about this guy until Queenslander mentioned him some where else. I think he would be a fantastic choice, exactly what we need. But he would have to be given time. If we go down we need to stick with him let him build a team with kids and players will to prove their worth. No more players like Rio.
Sorry, Nigel Pearson ain't going anywhere... Honestly though, Pulis would be a cracking manager if you could attract him. Then, I would genuinely see you as a threat.
