And he’s correct. Replicate that first 20 minutes regularly and more often then not you would be a couple of goals clear and able to manage the game out (albeit accepting that this squad barely has 2 brain cells to run together).
Everyone had a right to expect whatever they wish - in the preseason ‘where will we finish’ threads however amongst those saying playoffs minimum were plenty of us saying lower mid table.
Which group you think were realistic is entirely personal preference.
Indeed, would imagine it’s a pretty simple case that the employees need to make a living from it and QPR stories and match reports probably don’t even cover the costs of creating them.
I mean you’re right of course that Cifuentes isn’t going to add anything to the event in terms of cogent input, but at the same time QPR is a club who are historically shit at PR and the fans forum is a pretty simple layup for the club to wheel out the manager, have him take some soft ball questions, tell a story or two to the fans and a couple of throwaway ‘I shouldn’t tell you this but…’ anecdotes.
It also stops people asking the awkward and pertinent question of why the clubs CEO doesn’t want the wildly popular manager to be front and centre soaking up a bit of adoration for an hour or so.
I mean I wouldn’t complain about him wheeling out Betsy to show off his spinning plates technique, Sparkes to do some yo-yo tricks and then Sam Field to play us out with a Harpsichord solo..
Anything to avoid anyone asking how a 25 year old recruitment consultant got the CEO job at a football club…
He was on Onouha’s podcast years back taking about it - he went up to Villa to meet Tiger Timmy Sherwood and agreed a deal with them. On the drive back with his agent they got a call from Sherwood and Ferdinand’s shared agent saying QPR would beat any Villa offer.
