Games SWP has started vs Premiership opposition in the last 12 months:
played 24, won 2, drawn 4, lost 18.
This is an average of 0.41 points per game, which if achieved for a whole season would give us a total of 15-16 points.
Simply not good enough for Premier League football anymore. | | | |  |

Wilkins and Hateley got us relegated and that got us into the a mess for the next 15+ years.
So, Hateley is indeed our worst signing ever. We were lucky to sell him for anything after his dire performances for us. At least Vinnie disappeared off to LA when he realised it was over for everyone. But before Jones came in the financial damage had been done by selling Les for Hateley, as this resulted in our relegation and the saga that then followed.
We have never recovered from that sale and buying Hateley. So, the clock is still ticking on that mess since 1995.I suspect it may take us the full 20 years to recover, a whole generation!
As for SWP sometimes the stats do lie, but in this case they do not. He is a Championship player and has to go. We only stayed up last year when he was dropped and Mackie was returned. Nuff said. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

You think he's good enough for The Championship ? seriously ?
I only see an MLS club or one of those ridiculous Middle East clubs that Asamoah Gyan went to play for stupid enough to take him off our hands, its the worst signing in QPR's history, Zelic & Hateley were historically bad & the Ferdinand money was squandered & we got relegated as a direct result of it, but the Shaun Wright-Phillips, the amount of money he is on, it is so bad, there is no other sport where this could happen & even in Football, there is no other developed footballing nation where this player would have "made it" seriously how did Shaun Wright-Phillips make it as a professional footballer ?
People can say they arent interested & its boring, but they can hardly complain why England will never ever win a major footballing tournament, this is why! in what other major European league are their wingers that cannot cross ?!
This is the absolute Nadir of English Football, three words; Shaun Wright-Phillips!
Worst player I've ever seen pull on a QPR shirt by a country mile.

"Worst player I've ever seen pull on a QPR shirt by a country mile."
Bit dramatic...
He did well at City before moving to Chelsea - with limited starts he did OK at Chelsea - not great - but given the amount of minutes on the pitch he did OK. Moved back to City and started to score again, no doubt benefiting from more game time.
I thought that given he would be a relatively big fish in a small pond here at QPR he would therefore get 90 minutes every game and show us what he do with a consistent run in a side... it hasn't worked out - his performances for us have been rank, he certainly hasn't lived up to our expectations when we signed him, but I wouldn't call him the worst player to ever pull on a hoops shirt - does anyone remember Mike Sheron?
Now in terms of living up to expectation, and the reputation gained previously - he was properly awful.

Monkey_roots, great to have a new poster, although with a familiar style! Nice to describe QPR as a small pond too. | |

Not that I tend to associate with them in any shape or form, but a large percentage of Chelsea fans think Shaun Wright Phillips is the worst player to ever play for them. | | | |

Wow! Great to hear you are in touch with the Chelsea grassroots wums! | |

Another mention of 'new posters'. Were (are?) you one of those kids who wouldn't play top trumps with the new pupils in the playground until they'd been at school for 6 months or killed 20 ants with a magnifying glass?

It's always good to get new posters, especially when they appear from nowhere with strong opinions in the middle of a debate! (And with a familiar style!) | |

| SWP record on 13:23 - Oct 25 with 907 views | klr |
Sammy Koejoe actually scored for QPR at Sheffield United & might have scored a couple of others, he was also probably on 7 or 8 hundred quid a week.
Mike Sheron although obviously a failure also scored some goals for QPR | | | |

How long have you been watching Rangers then?
In my near 30 years, I've seen a lot worse in an R's shirt than SWP.
Has he been a poor value for money signing / return, yes, without doubt.
Does he deserve the constant abuse? No, he never put the contract in front of himself. If you've an issue with the £70k he gets, write to the club. I dare you.
If your work offer you in a week what you earn in a year, you won't say no....

His issue isn't SWP, it's driving others into a frenzy over SWP, that's why he keeps bringing up the £70,000. It's wumtastic! | |

I've been watching the R's since 1961.
Believe me, SWP is up there with Iorfa, Slade, Malcolm, "Max Wall" Hateley, McQuade, Ready, Scully, Rahman, and the rest in the "worst ever" stakes.
If someone started a new thread on worst team ever to wear hoops, the majority on this board would say that SWP would figure in it, although whoever started the thread would be accused of being disloyal and not a good judge of a footballer.
You can't polish it. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I was a swimming coach for a time and one thing I learnt was that when working really hard with large mass muscles the brain gets starved of oxygen meaning judgement is severely reduced.
I think this may be the issue with SWP as its clear to me he puts everything into his runs but gets everything wrong at the end of it. If I were his coach I would make him do much more fitness training and make him use his brain at the end of it. The problem is he seems to have had this problem for a while now and may not be able to overcome it. Any decent conditioning coach would be aware of these issues so perhaps it is not the problem and he has just become useless. | |

I for one would be fully supportive of a daschund in a QPR top -- to be fair it couldn't be any worse than SWP, could it? 
Whoever said that SWP was our worst signing ever is being a bit melodramatic. Either that, or they haven't been a fan of QPR for very long. We have had some pretty crap signings over the years. I am not disagreeing that SWP has been a disaster in a hooped shirt, but he certainly works hard and tries his best. He is just past it. When it comes to crap signings, remember Zelic? He got a million ponds and never even played a game. Remember Vinnie Jones? He came in a tried to rape the club. Remember Hately? All the Sir Les money goes to an overweight looser who scores one great goal and then fades away. Remember Eastoe? record signing for us and couldn't stay on his feet in the box. I'd even put Hulse ahead of SWP in terms of useless signing. At least SWP wants to be in the side, whereas Hulse is delighted pick up his 20K a week without having to bother about hte stress of regular training and so on.
Throughout the years QPR have made some brilliant signings, but we have also made some awful ones. And SWP is just about average when it comes to the aweful signings we have made. He tries hard, has some real talent at getting to the ball and getting in good possitions. Its just that he can't pass the ball, can't cross the ball, and can't shoot the ball. If he could sort those three things out, he'd be golden! | |

SWP's problem should have been fixed in his early teens. I had a really good coach called Malcolm Cook, who had played for Scotland's Under 21's, Motherwell, Bradford PA and Newport County. He made all the difference to me because he kept saying to me "look up" before the ball came to me; "look at the ball" when it got to me; and "look around" as soon as I had the ball. That way, I had an idea of what was happening around me.
SWP just looks at the ball, which is why he doesn't know where his team mates, the goal, the touchline, or anything else is.
Maybe I should get my old coach to start screaming "Look Up" and "Look Around' but I'm afraid it's too late for SWP, you need to be doing that before you're thirty!
The other point to mention is that Malcolm Cook stopped playing professionally at the ripe old age of 24 - because he had "shot knees" - but he was a heck of a coach - what is SWP being told to do now? He always has his head down. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

My old coach screamed "get in the back of the van" but you have to understand Withnail & I to appreciate the moment.
I actually heard someone scream "get in the back of the van" at a match - was it you? | | | |
| SWP record on 08:15 - Oct 26 with 799 views | ShotKneesHoop |
If that was at Bolton last year, then yes it was me.
And yes it was at SWP as he ballooned a chance into Row Z just before he got subbed off for Mackie.
And yes, with Mackie on in place of SWP, we almost got the point we just about deserved. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Who would like to have lent SWP to?
Walsall
Tranmere
Northampton
Are three clubs where he might fit in. Any others? | |

SWP has assisted a goal
Arsenal away last season.
Passed the ball straight to RVP
Useless | | | |
| SWP record on 09:57 - Oct 26 with 782 views | ShotKneesHoop |
00calben; Already mentioned this "assist" on earlier post...... see.....
"The "embarrassing fans" that Hoopstillidie mentions are fans like him who would be happy to worship even a dachshund in a hooped shirt. Which is what we have at the moment.
SWP had better not play against Arsenal on Saturday, this was the game last year when he made one of his few genuine "assists" ........ for Arshavin!!"
However, I do agree with the last word in your post. | |

And as I replied to you when you originally posted that garbage....
"No the embarrassing fans are the ones that bang on and on and on and on ad infinitum about the same player. That was my point.
We know he's been poor, I questioned us signing him at the time and copped untold grief for it.
I don't hero worship everything in a hooped shirt, I didn't want Barton in it and I never do again.
I never said we should support anybody that wears the hoops regardless either.
You've taken what I've written and read into it what you want to, that speaks more about you than me.
Constantly rubbishing one of your own players is embarrassing, fact, that doesn't mean that the alternative viewpoint is a "one eyed attitude" at all. " | |
