Warburton, our new Manager

Thats, Os ...... NOT Oz .... thank you very muchly. I cop enough funny looks without going down that path. ( not that there's anything wrong with that)

 

Am I the only one that’s just a little bit scared by this post?

 

I’m pretty sure I dated her, but she dumped me because I kept hiding her Veet.

 

Jose Mourinho is another that never played football to any standard. I believe he was a lollipop man outside a Sporting Lisbon crèche when he got the call in a sort of Rocky Balboa moment.

 

Yes, of course many Manager do very well aged over 56, but those you mention were also doing very well in their 30's and 40's. I just have a feeling a younger guy would be a better fit for our young squad and Management team now.

 

I am more scared at how we tried to play football this season, especially since the new year

 

Warburton isn't a headline grabbing name but since when has that worked for us in the past? He seems like a steady sort of chap but he's not going to get any money to spend and will have to make do with the same players that McClaren had with maybe a few loans, free transfers and anyone from the youth team coming through. I'm not expecting him to win us promotion but would be satisfied with a mid-table finish followed by a top ten the following season. Expecting anything more is a pipe dream for the R's at the moment.

Can't say I'm ecstatic at the appointment but we've dodged the Sherwood bullet at least. Any idea when the official appointment will be made?

 

QPR-bound Warburton keen to bring in Banfield

Mark Warburton is set to be confirmed as QPR manager and wants to add former Arsenal coach Neil Banfield to his backroom team.

East Londoner Banfield, 57, spent 21 years on the coaching staff at Arsenal, where he was promoted to a first-team role by former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger in 2012.

Since leaving Arsenal he has had a scouting role at Glasgow Rangers, where Warburton had a spell as manager.

Banfield also spent just over a year as assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 side, working under QPR legend Don Givens.


Warburton, who has also managed Brentford and Nottingham Forest, is returning to west London after being offered the chance to take over at Loftus Road.

Rangers sacked Steve McClaren last month, with Warburton identified as one of four leading candidates to take overalong with Tim Sherwood, Gary Rowett and Michael Appleton.

Warburton was a coach and sporting director at Brentford before taking over as manager in 2013.

He led the Bees to promotion later that season and the Championship play-offs the following year.

He is credited with much of Brentford’s success in the scouting and development of players. That and his background as a youth coach made him an obvious strong contender for the QPR job given the club’s difficult financial position.

 

And Eustace as well?
