We have to support Marti
at 10:42 7 Jan 2024

The Club has to support this man.
If you listen closely to his words in the interviews you can detect his frustration with the players not following his instructions especially in the first 15 minutes of the second half against Bournemouth but they didn’t and we lost the game as a result.
He is here to win games, he has targets, he is not afraid to say it as it is, he has a plan for different types of games and tactic's, he is clearly very professional and passionate about what he is doing but he is only as good as the tools he has available to him (no pun intended!!)
I am sure he has identified his requirements and probably the players he specifically wants but does the club have the resources and the personnel to deliver them to him?
If we consider no DOF, a combined CEO and Chairman and an absent Board then I fear not.
Hopefully he will be strong enough with them to get the support he needs because we really need some of “his” players in this season if we are to have the slightest chance of staying in the Championship

Cifuentes and Iraola comparison hopefully we can get the same results
at 13:38 27 Dec 2023

First time posting so I believe the tradition is favourite cheese Extra Mature Cheddar, a bit like myself in terms of the mature!!

Having followed QPR for over 50 years we have all seen the best and worst of times but certainly the last two years have been very disappointing however I am trying to stay positive and optimistic hence this post.

Iraola took over at Bournemouth from a good solid manager but was pretty much unknown to most people. He didn’t have the best of starts and some were seriously questioning the appointment but look at what he has done with a pretty average team in the Premier League. Their style has been transformed and they have a belief in what they’ve been asked to do and boy is it paying dividends for them. Asked about what has made the difference Iraola said that they have had time to get to know him and implement his methods and believe in what he wants them to do. Very humble and down to earth guy I am hoping we can draw comparisons with him and MC, both Spanish like to play good football and systems and are not happy with a draw!

It will be interesting to see how we get on against them in January. I know we have an awful Cup record but I just hope we can see some light when up against a similar opposition.

Either way just a hope we might still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone and survive to give MC a chance to bring us back to a better position which all of us really want.
