If we sack Ainsworth and his coaching team and bring in a new management team, I am guessing this would almost gaurantee a FFP penalty and points deduction.
We would probably have to sell in January to balance the books and further weaken the squad.

The way our players are - cough - performing at the moment, we would need to pay other clubs to take them off our hands, and even then, there might not be any takers.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
He's not turning this around so the board have two choices.
Stick with him, knowing full well we are going down. Saves them money and a possible FFP fine / deduction
Twist... Bring in another manager, better chance of staying up but still risky. Possible FFP breach and fine / deduction
Either way, this is on the board and the appalling way they've run the club.

What a position to find yourself in eh? We can't sack a manager that is performing appallingly because of finances. A lot of managers in the past have been sacked for a lot less. Yet, making the right call and putting GA out of his misery could mean we breach financial fair play and are docked points...only at this club we could find ourselves in this position.
For what it's worth, while recognising there are multiple problems at the club, the Manager is clearly one of them, and should go.

Get be it to Ramsey and Furlong. Put Ainsworth on gardening.

Any fine or points deduction wouldn't apply to this season & there would be no transfer embargo for next seson. Not that I'm suggesting we deliberately fail FFP.
This years accounts won't be published until next March(?), although I think the club have to send a forecast of the P&L to the EFL prior to the end of May.
Sell in January? As I've often written previously, we don't have any player that other clubs covet!
Look I think his course is run - but - after the Watford debacle he was able to make changes and they managed a couple of wins (more through luck than judgement?) so I wonder why he can't manage that again. I mean getting Cook back in, even on one leg, would be a start.
Only difference now is you feel that he has lost most/all of the dressing room. And looking at the stupid actions of Paal and Dunne last night, you have to wonder.
Furlong has no experience: unlike Ramsey who has experience of getting QPR relegated. Absolutely pointless.
It's not going to be Ramsey - or Furlong - for longer than a caretaker spell. But if we're playing silly imaginary games like that:
Ramsey's record at Championship level managing QPR: P 15 W5 D3 L7
Ainsworth: P 26 W5 D4 L17
I mean, we'd love a ratio like Ramsey's right now. He got fired on the back of a 3-0 home victory with Karl Henry and Toszer in midfield, and JET playing as a number 9: very respectable effort, considering we have Field and Colback in midfield and Scotland's number 9 but can't fashion a shot on target nor more than 29% possession - nor even want to. (The MK Dons manager that day Karl Robinson is a more likely future manager than Ramsey though)
Football is quite a simple game - you score more goals than the other team and you win - simple. So how the hell did we think at the beginning of the season we would score enough goals to win games? Dykes - tries but hardly scores. Smyth - tries but hardly scores. Armstrong - tries hard but hopeless in front of goal. Kelman - does he actually exist??
Obviously we are restricted but money but our four forwards have no more than 12 goals a season between them!!! All that and with a defence that leaks goals for fun.
I think we all agree that FFP is a crock of shit, but the club is a shittier crock of shit for mismanaging itself so chronically over so long, including completely failing (Eze apart) to nurture new talent we can (i) play football well in our team or (ii) sell at a profit.
Clearly, the players don't like the manager, the tactics, or each other - or probably all three. Given the fact we don't like them either, whatever toxicity scale could be applied in this scenario, the needle is so scarily in the red I expect LR to go up in smoke soon (which would probably please Lee Hoos).

FFP is fine, the application is atrocious. The football world definitely needs extensive regulation.
That was the day I realised this wasn’t going to work …Bristol City at home. No pressure. Could have played a progressive young team that got the ball down and played with tempo.
He chose Albert and Amos and we stunk the fcking place out . We have ever since
That was only the 6th game I was able to take my son to and having been to the Birmingham and Blackburn home games a few months earlier, he just didn't want to go any more.
It's not about glory-hunting, he really loves going to the games, going to the kids zone area on SAR, going to the kids area under the Loftus Road stand but he just hated the fact we were conceding goal, after goal, after goal and not scoring. 2 goals in three games at home (whilst conceding 8) is not good.
This is how clubs like QPR lose the next generation.
I don't have the time or money to bring him to every single home game so it get entrenched in him regardless.
