i have not read every post but caretaker man to stop the rot, tighten it up and steady the ship, not in safe waters, TONY PULIS .
john eustace is now sacked at brum so available . would seem a strong candidate .

He was borderline last time he was here, he's completely crackers now. |
Lol  I was just thinking of a more tactful way of saying the same thing.
I would rather stick with Gareth. |  | | |

Tony Pulis??
The same Tony Pulis who's not managed a club in almost three years and who's last appointment at Sheff Weds lasted just over six weeks?
Sorry mate, that's a barking suggestion. I'd sooner get Olly back. |  |

would be very QPR to get rid of Ainsworth because we don't like the style of football and replace him with Tony Pulis. |  | | |

I really liked Ollie as a person and maybe his 'this is our cave' style might help a bit but I think we need someone more tactical now. Ainsworth can't get these boys going, so maybe they'll respect a more technical approach. |  |

Pulis isn't the worst shout. He did well at Middlesbrough before the Wednesday debacle but hopefully we shall have better options.
The real time for Pulis was nine years ago when Redknapp's knees started to buckle but Fernandes hung on to him for several more months and Pulis went to West Brom. | | | |

It's intriguing, this imaginary ecosystem in which QPR exists only in relation to people who have formerly served it. |
It's a classic LFW message board trope, and I love it. Gerry will get a mention in a minute. Possibly as part of another of this message board's favourite tropes - a young/inexperienced person WITH A MENTOR. Like suggesting "pay as you play" deals for random footballers with broken legs, one thing this place can always be relied upon is the idea that perhaps Stephen Duke-McKenna could be manager with the ghost of Don Howe as a mentor or director of football. I think it's happened once to my recollection - Sunderland poached Steve Cotterill from Stoke but only as assistant to Howard Wilkinson - but it gets a shout on here every time. Pick a young person and an old person Bonus points for QPR connections. Marc Bircham with Dot Cotton? | | | |

On that basis resurrect Alec Stock?
Seriously, this board has shown itself to be incapable of choosing the right manager for the job. Indeed that are totally incompetent at running a football club. They mean well but their incompetence is slowly killing this club. Since they sacked Warnock every manager has been a “mistake “.
Yes Ainsworth must go but I have zero confidence that the board will then appoint a manager competent in the skills our team needs.
Until ownership of the club and the board changes, plus a wholesale clear out of managers and coaches at QPR, the club is on the slippery slope to League 2 for 2025/26 And even there, I would fear for a drop further down, almost straight away.
I know it’s “ be careful what you wish for” but New owners seems to me the be the only way out of this rapidly deteriorating situation. |  | | |

In a way, I think now is the best time to part ways with Ainsworth.
There are some good options out there atm. | | | |

Not with the help of my money. I am not far from my 30th anniversary as a ST holder but that would be the end for me. I only renewed this year because my daughter loves going so much.
The last year has been like reliving the first month under McClaren over and over again. Madness to tolerate it. Renewing just encourages them. Surest way of changing anything is to withdraw our custom. Chanting against absentee owners and expecting change is the definition of futility. Time to go on strike or a Notts Co type descent beckons. |  | | |

I laughed out loud as I read that as LFW have been terrible at choosing managers and it still reads correct. | |

My concern about any new manager is that our players are apt to down tools on a whim and stop doing the basics, so that makes it tricky to bring in someone up and coming who lacks profile and reputation.
Sadly, I think at this time, we need someone with so much experience and visibility that he will command respect and have a big enough profile for people to think that, if things go wrong, the problems are down to the players, not him. |  |

I hear Sir Les is without a club too. Maybe get him in on a pay as you play?

I'm not sure.
I think the lack of money to spend in January will really inhibit the level of candidate we'd been able to attract. People are debating whether they could stomach Nathan Jones for instance, I very much doubt he'd take it. I think the talk of Warburton/Eustace misses this point, and also how fractured the relationships had become by the time they left.
ATM the way things are it's difficult to see past pushing the Warnock button, particularly given who's going to be making the decision. There is very limited football expertise at board level now - when Hoos arrived he made a big deal of saying he was a numbers and figures man and left the football decisions to the football people, now he's basically running the football club for the owners. Would yoy back them to make a Kieren McKenna style appointment?
As I said at the time trying to recover the damage done by letting Beale do what he liked last summer by letting Ainsworth do what he liked this summer was always a fcking daft idea. We're basically Gareth Ainsworth FC. | | | |

If Chair, Willock, Dykes, Field are the solution isn't Warburton (preferably) or Eustace the logical solution? | | | |

Maybe, we'll see. Like I say I don't think people appreciate how much those relationships had fractured by the time we binned them off last time. Why do you think Eustace wasn't even considered last time around? | | | |
