Les Ferdinand interview on 11:39 - May 23 with 14546 views | PinnerPaul | What Simmo said, excellent stuff. Unlike Tony at times, I senses LF is prepared to defend an unpopular position and stand by the decisions he makes. I see you didn't have to ask HIM, the same question 3 times to get a decent response, unlike with Tony. Is that how he came across in person? Thanks | | | |

Les Ferdinand interview on 11:55 - May 23 with 14436 views | calHoop | A brilliant interview, with Les coming across very well. He's had to make some tough decisions, but never seems to shy away from explaining why in detail. He's clearly irked by the Gallen issue, quite rightly, some of the comments on twitter about it have been uncalled for, whether you thought it right or wrong. It's clear that some want the regime to fail as a result. He sounds enthused and excited by the challenge though. And so far, he's done everything he's set out to. Consolidated, slashed the wage bill, found one or two decent players for next to nothing, shipped out some of the overpaid dross for a season, kept the club out of the papers for the wrong reasons, and is laying foundations for a more respected, respectful and better run football club. Along with Hoos the best signing we've made in a long time. | | | |

Les Ferdinand interview on 13:45 - May 23 with 13810 views | enfieldargh | Fantastic interview, I dont know how many QPR fans actually visit this wonderful site, I think the club she put a link to it so every QPR fan gets the opportunity to read it. Great stuff, makes me want to kick the cat and sing hallelujah at the same time | |

Les Ferdinand interview on 13:54 - May 23 with 13758 views | DannytheR | Loads of interesting stuff in there. In particular, should be a bit of a wake up call to some fans as to where we are now financially. Not seen it spelled out quite so starkly that, in light of FFP, the mind-boggling fiscal prolapse of Uncle Bungle's Wright Phillips years and (you imagine) the increasing unlikelihood of Old Oak, we're back to square one with a vengeance. The problem with expecting us to go straight back up and stamping your feet when we only finish mid-table is that TF not only spent a huge amount of Tune's money, he also spent all of what was actually ours after reaching the Prem in the first place. And it was all an utter waste of time. The board, successive managers and god knows how many agents and players have left us in a terrible state. Having spent pretty much my entire time as a Rangers fan moaning about the club hierarchy, I'm relieved Les and Hoos are there to pick up the pieces. But this could be a long old haul. | | | |

It will take a long time to get back, I don't see us being back in the prem for at least 5 years | | | |

I was really impressed with him, but then I've been really impressed with him since he got here. He was very direct and straight talking. No bullsht. He was also very professional, quite often in any interview there's little bits and pieces off the record on the side "let me tell you a story about so and so not for publication just to give you an idea of what I mean..." followed by some hideous tale of how player a b or c behaved but there was none of that, everything he said he said on the record whether it was good or bad. | | | |

Could happen at any time, Dave. I don't think it will happen for a while, but in football terms 5 years is light years away. Look what Bournemouth have done in the same time period. | |

I think if we're giving credit where credit is due, Ian Taylor has gone from Comical Ali to CJ Cregg since the change in administration. In hindsight it might have been Beard's (or someone else's) words in his mouth. Used to boil my piss reading his stuff. [Post edited 23 May 2016 14:19]

Les Ferdinand interview on 14:20 - May 23 with 13570 views | RedbourneR | Great interview Clive. Steady hands, from the sound of it, with Les; we might not agree with every decision or analysis but he's made them and it's clear he'll stick with them. About the most reassuring element of the Board I can think of. | | | |

Did you tell him about his 'Evil Les ' rating? | | | |

Les Ferdinand interview on 14:53 - May 23 with 13369 views | NW10Hoop | I think we're lucky to have him. Much more than just an old boy in a token role. He strikes me as being extremely competent AND having an understanding of what QPR can be when we're being run properly and performing at our best. I don't really understand why there is a large portion of our fanbase who give him hell. Even if he was doing his job badly (which he isn't) - he didn't even seem to get a period of grace. | | | |

I just think it will take a few years before we are in a position to do it, could happen next year if we have a good year but I just don't expect it to happen for a while | | | |
