New Manager on 10:44 - Oct 28 by RANGERS4EVER | People may not like Mark Hughes or the way he plays but as fans we still need to support him and get behind the team. IMO its a bit of a stupid thread [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

New Manager on 09:55 - Oct 29 with 761 views | hoof_hearted | This thread just highlights how stupid it would be to lose Hughes if you buy itno the owners plans to make us a sustainable Premier League team. All of those names could get us to be like Sunderland or Aston Villa or Stoke with the budget we have (I am assuming that Pep has ruled himself out at this stage!). The owners' aim is to be attracting names for merchandising and as a tourist venue to fill the new stadium. So the manager's job description at the moment is:- 1. Get enough points to keep us in the premier league. 2. Advise on the new training facilities. 3. Get the youth set up working 4. Liaise with the board in a business like manner on the above. 5. Attract top international names to play for us. So if that's the plan then the best manager available is Mark Hughes as Harry can't read or write and Olly (nor the other names except Pep!) won't be any good at the business side of the job at this level as saying "moy old dad used to say..." isn't enough. Unless we are still adrift at the bottom at Christmas in which case sack the c@nt. | | | |

New Manager on 17:20 - Oct 28 by tom007 | redknapp or gerry francis |
Agree with either of those. But Gerry would be better as he has the dull but proven approach to closing out leaky defences as he did with Spurs and does with Stoke. Also no one will be able to say they can play better than he did. He shows em a view videos and then shuts them up. Also any noise and your side lined. Everyone in his team knows the score. Do as he says or your out. | |

New Manager on 12:55 - Oct 29 with 732 views | QPunkR | Definitely not 'Arry or Rosie 47, the man's the same as Hughes - buys more players rather then coaching the ones he's already got. It's gotta be Gigi de Canio for me. If he made some of the Sheidt we had back then play that good football, imagine what he could do with the squad we've got now!! He's got unfinished business at Loftus Rd | |

New Manager on 11:39 - Oct 28 by WestbourneR | Yeah... You know if I had to choose I'd have to say Ian Holloway too. I love that man and he has developed so much as a manager. You just can't argue with the way his teams play. And he can't set up properly for set pieces. But I'd be equally happy with Harry Redknapp |
"You can't argue with the play his teams play"????? Did you see Blackpool when they got relegated? Man management - p***** of Charlie Adam so much he stopped playing after Jan - hence the relegation - see above. | | | |

New Manager on 14:09 - Oct 29 with 707 views | adhoc_qpr | To respond to your Manager's job description: 1. Get enough points to keep us in the premier league - Hughes is failing to achieve this. 2. Advise on the new training facilities - Already well underway, i'm sure any Manager could do this. 3. Get the youth set up working - this is Mike Rigg's job and he can continue doing it regardless of who the Manager is. 4. Liaise with the board in a business like manner on the above - Any Manager can achieve this. 5. Attract top international names to play for us - To be fair Hughes has very done well here, but whether it's his influence or the money on offer that is the deciding factor i'm not sure. | | | |

Calm down Paul, caaaaalm down! Didn't mean to wind you up. I did indeed see Blackpool when they went down and I think they were absolutely incredible considering they had Ian Evatt at the back and Luke Varney up front. Both of whom had standout seasons in a league way above their level. Also, and I maybe wrong, I felt he handled the Charlie Adam situ as well as he possibly could of done. He basically said - I will sell you to Liverpool but just stay until the end of the season and help try and keep us up, then you can go. I also felt that Adam was still good post the window. Either way Adam has never shone much as he did that year at Pool so Ollie must have been doing something right. I think Holloway's work at Blackpool is some of the most impressive stuff I have seen in long time. They had no right to even try and stay up with that team but they nearly did it. | |

New Manager on 15:10 - Oct 29 with 657 views | adhoc_qpr | If Hollway can get Gary Taylor-Fletcher scoring for fun in the prem, what could he do with Cisse? I'd have no problem getting Holloway back, he's a manager who seems to learn from his mistakes so there is no reason to assume he would approach the prem in exactly the same way with us as he did with Blackpool. Plus he's a lot more likeable than dour welshman Leslie Hughes! | | | |
New Manager on 15:30 - Oct 29 with 643 views | Toast_R | Ian Holloway... Only if we go down. I doubt he'd cope with the ego's of multi millonaire mercenaries that engulf the premiere league and of whom we seem to be in the market for, plus many of these players wouldnt give him any respect to Holloway. Felt that was also Neil Warnocks downfall in the end. Different world now. | | | |
New Manager on 15:36 - Oct 29 with 620 views | daveB | loving the mention of Gerry Francis, obviously his second spell in charge where he left us virtually relegated playing awful football and spending the yearly transfer budget on Sammy Koejoe has been forgotten already. | | | |

New Manager on 16:09 - Oct 29 with 593 views | Northernr | Several points: 1 - I agree with 1882, however I don't see an issue with having a hypothetical debate about it. That's what message boards are for. 2 - Several names on the original list are what I would deem "a season ticket returnable offence." 3 - Guardiola should be moved onto BostonR's latest trip back from Clough Fcking Cuckoo Land thread. 4 - Ian Holloway is a very different manager from his first spell here, vastly improved, and is a half decent option. Paul is right about the way his Blackpool team defended but I think the gung ho attitude was because the chairman basically used all the money to secure the future of the club and complete the ground rather than strengthen the team. That left Olly trying to stay in the Premier League with a centre half pairing of Evatt and Baptiste. Rather than having a go at him for that I'd praise him for doing as well as he did in those circumstances. 5 - Is it only me that feels with our players and manager acquisitions at the moment we're just not thinking in a very QPR way? We seem to be ending up with a lot of awkward fits by thinking we're a big established club just because we've got a bit of money while clubs comfortable with their own identity do better than us with, on paper, lower profile and lower quality signings and managerial appointments. 6 - This discussion highlights how few other options there are out there. 7 - My three in order of preference are Neil SI, Redknapp, Mackay (Cardiff). | | | |
New Manager on 16:25 - Oct 29 with 579 views | WatfordR | MH was appointed to play a key role in overhauling the club from top to bottom. Were he to go, I believe that kind of job would require a young guy as it's a fairly massive workload. I think you'd also need to look at someone with recent Prem experience. Can't say anyone particularly comes to mind. In fact, the only person with those kind of credentials out there who'd be available would be MH! | | | |

on the signings we always seem to go for the big name. One example is we needed a right back, Adam Smith at Spurs would have been a good fit, young, good on the ball and could improve, get him into the club and build a team, instead we go for Bosingwa who is a good player but on huge wages and not really here to further his career | | | |
New Manager on 16:29 - Oct 29 with 571 views | paulparker | if we are looking for someone to build for the future is young and has prem experince what about Martinez ?? , year in year out the bloke works miracles at wigan whilst playing good football, he also buys good young players with sell on values, | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Re 5, much as I disgaree with 95% of what he writes Martin Samuel came up with this little phrase to sum up our troubles "too much, too soon & too many players just passing through" Which is what you said in 5 is it not? Can't blame MH & TF for "going for it" but, and hindsight is a winderful thing, maybe fewer new signings or some lower profile ones in the summer might have been the answer? | | | |
New Manager on 16:39 - Oct 29 with 555 views | daveB | if we do change I'd have Holloway back, loads of pride and passion, an attacking style of play and he would be desperate to come back, i'd have gone for him in January rather than Hughes.

If it is Benitez it would again feel like an awkward fit for QPR. | | | |
