Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 17:24 - Mar 10 with 1561 views | PunteR | Young English manager,what's not to like! Not sure what his football philosophy is but i agree that having a manager that would view QPR as a step up is a step in the right direction. Only been in management 4 years and has got a promotion on his CV. He's played top level football as well. I personally wouldn't put this down as a bad appointment, it would actually make a refreshing change. Steve Gallen as his No2. Start rebuilding QPR. If we don't get promoted. If we get promoted, hows about Tim Sherwood and Sir Les? He probably wont be at spurs next season. | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 14:48 - Mar 10 by Antti_Heinola | Olesen, I like your posts, but you need a huge reality check. Laudrup is not coming to our club and is far from the man we need. What we need is a bit of longevity - something he simply never offers any club. |
Laudrup would also come with baggage, namely his agent Bayram Tutumulu. Shades of Hughesless and Joorabchian again. And in reply to some earlier posts would appointing Powell be any different from when we appointed Holloway? At the time that may have seemed a strange appointment coming as he had off of a sacking at Bristol Rovers who were in the lower half of the table in the division below, although he did have playing history with us. | |

They lacked any ambition in the two matches against us and have been p!ss poor all year. There are about 1 billion managers to choose from. | | | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 08:22 - Mar 11 with 1383 views | CHUBBS | Really like Chris Powell as a person,but i also really liked Ray Harford and he was far more successful than Powell. If the rumours are true and he's been sacked then he can only blame himself as he just hasn't been good enough. I thought the way he set them up against us was poor and it was only our lack of confidence that stopped us winning easily. No thanks. | | | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 09:42 - Mar 11 with 1317 views | danehoop | Charlton supporting mate reckoned Powell sacking was fairly imminent. He reckoned he has been a goodish manager for them and will always be a club favourite. But, the view was at he had seemed to have lost his way a bit this season and was tending to rely on picking his favourite, rather than form players. That had cost them a lot of points and performances were not good compared to previous years. The new owner and new signings had become problematic, particularly with loss of aging players that CP rated, even though injuries and performance declines indicated it probably was best to get them off the books. His reaction at the supposed interest in CP for the QPR job was to laugh. Nice guy, good lower league manager, but not yet quite stepping up to the next level was his more reasoned comment, even allowing for dire financial circumstances at the Valley he probably could have done better.

Rumoured to have been replaced by Standard Liege former manager where the owners keep getting their players from. All very odd and unfair on him | | | |

No,i think the real reason is they're in 24th place. If they were half way up that table,i doubt they'd care who he'd played. The new owners are in it to turn a profit so relegation is not on they're agenda. | | | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 11:36 - Mar 11 with 1211 views | RangersAreBack | Disagree. He may come across as a nice chap but results don't lie. They are bottom of the table for a reason. CP has not done anywhere near enough to warrant taking over the reins of a club with real ambition of making the Premier League. | | | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 13:53 - Mar 10 by 08olesen | Laudrup is the way forward. His style of game suits the premier league, and hes young and willing to bring in youth talent. Plus he gets a few bargains in the Spanish league too. |
Aside from his first stint at Brondby, Laudrup hasn't remained in a managerial role for longer than 2 years his whole career. Another short term appointment | | | |

As i said before, everyone is entitled to their opinion. My view is that bringing in a manager who was just been sacked from a team at the bottom of the league would hardly shout premier league stability. Persoanlly i think the best manager we could have got was martinez, and i have said that all along. His loyalty and style should be something we try to look for in a manager. Now that he is not available laudrup just seems like a positive move, he doesnt need to spend the earth to compete and that is vital. i agree with the other poster on this forum about Thomas tuchel. He has been at the same club in germany since 2009 and is sitting in 7th in a good league. He has a low budget and again supports youth. I am not saying Laudrup is the messiah, he is just a good option. | |

Wasn't having a go chap, just that if we want to build for the future, personally I don't think Laudrup is the answer as his record shows he'll be off in 2 years | | | |

He hasn't done to bad since. I'm not saying Powell is the next Mourinioh but he's a young manager learning and still to find the right club for him. | |

yer dont worry i didnt think you were. Just sometimes people get a bit tetchy on here, and at the end of the day we are only saying what we personally think, so there is no right or wrong answer.......unless anyone is advocating Avram Grant! Then they need their head examining. | |

Qpr's next manager so says the mirror on 14:29 - Mar 10 by Discodroid | imho, powell would be the perfect appointment if we are to change management ,which seems likely at the end of the season. adroit,hungry, a knowledge of the lower leagues and has represented his country at the highest level playing for a 'smaller club'indicating drive , ambition and loyalty. an engaging manner with press and fans , the perfect anti hughes/redknapp type of old skool appointment , with their cliches and tired old soundbites. . a refreshing alternative to the bitter medicine thats been adminsterd by the qpr board since niel's sacking. a progressive appointment, in many areas,and one which i can only applaud. Powell can be our father damien karras ,exorcising the evil spirits of greed,short term thinking and mercenary ectoplasm from w12 ,that has alienated so many fans over the last 2/3 years. he would have been my first choice replacement before i read the above article. would be an incredible asset to building a long term and prosperous QPR. go for it tony!! ps if we go for someone like laudraup or similar , we really have learned f uck all from the last few seasons.

Can't believe people are calling for Laudrup. All he'd see us as is a stepping stone. As soon as someone came knocking he's be gone in a shot. I like Powell. He's done well in a so far short career. Some managers take years before achieving a promotion, yet he's already got one under his belt. He was a pretty decent player, and comes across as a decent bloke. I'd much rather someone like Powell than Laudrup or some other money grabbing toe rag. Just for the record, I want Arry to stay, but would like someone like Powell for when Arry eventually leaves. | | | |
