    That kunt Patrick Collins stuck the knife in in a two-page spread in the Mail today. He did it to COLIN aswell when he was having a bad run with us.

    He's a vindictive old sod that Collins chap

    I'd love to refute all of that but there's nothing in there that I have the belief or conviction to the contrary to argue against.

    I'm sure all the board dismiss most of what fans say (you tend to get more negative than positive feedback in all walks of life) but the universal lack of support must be ringing home now.

    They say there's a lack of alternatives but if Les has Sherwood in mind then I think it really is just a matter of time.

    I thought the discussion was balanced and fair.

    The Board are fiddling while Rome burns.
    If it has to be someone from within, then I'd go with Hoddle till the end of the season. I think he will command more respect than Sherwood.

    I think Sherwood did not handle the senior officials in the club well and was ill-advised in his public comments. That is not a good sign in my view. He did well but my sense is it is that he may be one of those successful new comers whose approach is not successful in the longer term. May be wrong of course.

    I agree, if push comes to shove I'd definitely go with Hoddle. I really don't think that Sherwood is the answer. He's too abrasive and alienates too many people, like Di Canio at Sunderland. He's not even on talking terms with Sandro, who could quickly become another SWP for us, just picking up his inflated salary with no chance of playing.

    I thought it was very good as well and its great to see at last people are talking about the culture of our club ... It's wrong
    I want the Italian slipper logo gone. We need to get our roots back.
    I would like Amit to seize control at the end of the season ... No changes until then!
    Harold goes of course
    I would get Gerry Francis in from Stoke ... Sir Les in already there I would get in Dave Thomas and Clive Allen all backroom staff
    Stan, Rodney etc etc. even if all they did was to sit and watch games like gods. The crowd would be made to salut them every home game

    Manager: Eddie Howe on a 10 year contact 5m a year

    Latest word is that Sir Les has received a carpeting - all be it by long distance.

    Chances of Sherwood diminishing.

    So the Board continue to sit on their hands while we disappear down the plughole.

    Just watching a programme on TV about Caligula, and who succeeded him? None other than the infamous fiddler, Nero.

    The fact so many in the press are now beginning to question Harry and his facile excuses along with the continuing dinosaur tactics suggest his media image is being slowly destroyed. Our board need to act now or it will be too late to make any worthwhile changes.

    I can only think Hoddle may well have declined any move to make him manager because of his other commitments as he would be the obvious short-term solution...

    He has plenty of previous on that score Swords. When Venables was England manager Collins was his critic-in-chief, which was quite comical at the time as Jeff Powell, who was the Mail's chief football correspondent was one of Venables' biggest cheerleaders and TV got the Barcelona job on Powell's recommendation and friendship with the Barca President back in the 80s...

    There was a decent piece on us in The Sunday Times today by Jonathon Northcroft entitled " If QPR fought like this every week then Harry's game would never be up" It was complimentary about the way we played yesterday but it also questioned the way the club has gone about its business in recent years. Apparently we have brought 61 players since we won promotion in 2011......

    He also questioned Harolds statement about lack of pace by adding that Harold has been with us for 2 years so has had ample time to put together a team "with a bit of pace in it"......ouch.

    The press are beginning to rightly ask questions of Harold.....

    THE FACT IS WE WILL BE RELEGATED UNDER ARRY. HE IS A CLUELESS OAP. (I have been saying this since end of last season BTW) So any change I would like to see is someone for the future bringing through youth etc and if they keep us up it will be a fantastic bonus......
