Firstly let me apologise to Grifter and co for my pissed up comments on sacking Hughes early doors. I meant he shouldn't have been hired originally and the support shown to him by our board members although admirable was actually badly thought plan. Anywayz, i hope he now goes and i would love to see redknapp come in along with Garth ainsworth although i doubt that would happen. One for the short term while one learning for the long term. Any thoughts? LoopyR need not reply!!
IF Redknapp does come in he will bring his gang with him - Bond, Jordan, Allen, Ferdinand etc. If it works, great. If it doesn't, an expensive team to get rid off as it will be for Hughes, Bowden etc. As for Ainsworth, very romantic but not what we need at this stage.
I just keep waiting...checking qpr news 24-7.... this forum ...twitter....hoping for the news that Hughes has been sacked....
I think ainsworth could be one to watch for the future though. I would feel more confident with that team over bowen and co.
Been wondering this myself.But it would need a miracle for Hughes to turn this around given that he's lost the fans. For the record i dont think he is a bad manager it just hasnt worked out with us, certainly some of the bile spewed on here is unwarranted.
Its mid November and i just want this season over so we can start next season in the championship with a new manager and a new team of players with a bit of hunger and real fight in their stomachs. Hope players like Mackie, Adel hang around but wouldnt surprise me if they go and i wouldnt blame them.
I'm not a QPR fan but imo if you were to sack hughes and bring in redknapp i think that you would finish mid-table. I really do, your team and squad is ridiculously good and i know that saying that having good players doesn't make you a good team is true but the problem really is your manager. Hughes is way out of his depth with the quality of the players he is coaching, he is more prefered to managing relegation clubs with players that just aren't good enough for the prem, but solid enough to grind out results. But for QPR with the players you have i can see you becoming an established premier league club and finishing mid-table. The season is still young and hopefully you sign redknapp before the january transfer window. The trouble is Hughes, at man city i thought he was way out of his depth but he is a good manager for sides that are hard to beat and the best part of their play is their defending. However with your team it is obvious that you need a manager that is more willing to play expansive attacking football, and yesterday wright-phillips couldn't even get on the pitch, thats how strong a team you have and even though it looks bleak i think your performances will turn around with a change of manager.
I suppose the answer to the OP is upwards because it can't get much worse. Consider Oct 2009. A cold night in Watford. QPR lose 3:1. LLoyd Doley breaks a 16 year duck at QPR's expense. Patrick Agyemang 'celebrates' the consolation goal by looking thoroughly fed up and the QPR star player of the day gets headbutted by the manager. It was a pretty low ebb but after Magilton was sacked and a flurry of managers (Gallen / Birch for one game, Paul Hart(!!) and Mick Harford), in comes the manager that eventually led us to the promised land of the PL. There have been very low points previously. What we have now remains (potentially) much better than what we had then. It just needs the right man at the helm. Warnock was Amit's choice. I hope Tony and the consortium have the business brains to listen to Amit's advice on this once again. I hope the only way is up!!
Have to say, its amazing at times like this when you see what other clubs fans are like - some have class and can post alot of good stuff. Others have no class whatsoever. I am a believer in what goes around comes around. And in football, that is certainly true.
