Rangers from a joke of a club to one that is admired by Others by numptydumpty 20 Oct 2020 12:31
In such a few short years, our team has gone team, managers, chairman and image has gone from a club that everybody else could go QPR ha ha ha.... to one that quite few supporters from other clubs - painfully for them - admired.

We have in place a structure for long term stability and a business model and playing style and attitudes to money which is now not only severely sensible - extremely unusual in football - but thinking for the long term

Clearly changing managers every six months after we lose four games in a row is going to be constantly disruptive.

Clearly paying massive wages to ageing players that have done it all, seen it all and played at the very highest level was never going to be a viable approach. And you can't blame those players - it was our clubs stupidity in throwing big time money on such players

Getting the right characters for the dressing room that gel together as a good group of lads that actually like each other and all want to do well in their careers and all realise that its as much a team game as it is for individuals. - On leaving Manning said he had few friends for life from his time here - thats a great plus point for QPR.. Just think how many of the Vargas, Boswinga, Assou Ekottoa and Sung Park made mates for life here..

We also pioneers in having the great Sir Les at our helm as a black leader in football - we give opportunities at management level based on ability not race. And what a job Les has been doing.

Clearly getting Hoos involved for the long term is another essential ingredient. What a job this man has done. Very sensible on wages, and not afraid to make judgment calls on transfers or the like on players that done well for us but we can no longer afford. Ie Nakhi Wells, Hugill etc

Clearly we seem to have an excellent scouting network - we pick up others rejects and certainly give via great academy scheme, sensible loaning and gentle introduction to first team, we give young players a great platform to take their games up a few levels - and their resale value rockets. Its clear particularly currently young attacking talent encouraged to come here, lets hope we can work our magic on the defensive youth players also now.

We have previously used the loan system very well for ins as well as outs. Wells and Hugill on last day of window was a masterstroke. So much so that this season I believe we have no loan players. And nearly all our squad players have potential resale value so absolute key in being massively financial stable

The style of football by our team and carried out by our manager is mostly very attractive to watch also and surely football is an entertainment business as well as a results business. We are paying good money - we won't value for our time

Also the whole structure of the club from top to bottom MUST be maintained. If we can keep all the right people in all the very different roles at our club in place - this MUST be maintained for the long term. No more chopping and changing. Its all in place but if any significant people particularly in the management, financial or coaching staff in particular leaves we must ensure we get like for like replacements

Its only last season and already this, that I have not had worries that Rangers could possibly go down. Famous last words but if this season is not another season in and around mid table, I be amazed

It does seem everything is in place but if things go awry for a month or two, we MUST NOT be so reactive to this - like nearly all football clubs are these days..

No more changes please and I be a happy ranger !!!!!!!
