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 !!!!!!!

The only thing I will blame the players for, and they should always be blamed for, is not giving 100%. The likes of SWP, Bosingwa and Assou Ekottoa clearly didn't give a fk about the club and it showed. |  | | |

Don't get at least one win from Preston and Birmingham and people will be wanting Warburton sacked this time next week. |  | | |

The structure has been in place for a few years now but has gone relatively unnoticed.
The funniest thing about all of this is that the structure was put in place by the much maligned Tony F.
His greatest deal was inserting a clause in Ramsey’s contract that, enabled us too keep him if the management experiment didn’t work.
We are in a good place and as you said, it’s imperative that we keep this structure in place, it’s even more important than any future player signings! |  | | |

You can't blame those players?
If you are referring to players like Bosingwa who took the money and didn't try, yes you fcuking can blame them and i will continue to do so. People are much too quick to excuse people like acting like c nuts.
Of course you can blame them. |  | | |
