Yes, agreed. At least they are giving it a go - they only got their original jobs because of their names, of course, but taking jobs in the bottom half of the Championship does prove they want to make it work.
As much as I didn't like Lampard as a player, I find it hard to generate that much hatred as a manager - and I don't think his managerial abilities or record are quite as bad as people make out. |

Tell me something - why can't you just debate like a grown up? Why do you have to be rude all the time? You've been on here long enough to know that DaveB is not patronising, smug or in any way deserving of your vitriol?
Happy to debate all the time, but insults are so juvenile, however many long and clever words you try and put in them. |

Reply | Celar's deepening nightmare leaves QPR well adrift – Report

If all you can do as a QPR fan is try and find fault in Steve Cook, then good luck to you. The very least of our problems.
To find fault with him "berating Kakay" - the mind boggles. How's Kakay's career going these days?
I've watched him all season, been by far our best and most important player in my opinion and once again if we are to stay up he has to be fit for all the games. |

Too true.
When he sacks Marti, I will never forgive Nourry or the owners for backing this privileged fool ahead of a very decent man and manager.
He should be backed via a press release, today, that admits he has been given a tough task in terms of injuries and "unfortunate" recruitment, but his job is safe even in League One. That would send a message to the players too.
He won't of course, he is clearly going to be sacked and Nourry will be hoping for a crushing defeat on Weds or Saturday to give him the free pass he thinks it will bring. He will be wrong, as he will discover at the home games following.
I loved Marti's words and actions yesterday in regards to the crowd. I can't remember such a connection with a manager between fans and players for a long time, even far more successful ones like Warnock the wolves were out as soon as we faltered. Not this man. Speaks volumes.
But when he goes, I thank him for that turnaround last season, some of those games (Leicester A, Leeds H stick in the mind) brought as much fun as I have seen at Rangers for many a year. It was great to enjoy a manager rather than moan about him. I will also wish him every success in the future, as I know he will do well at a more stable club.
Nourry out, now. [Post edited 24 Nov 8:04]

Nourry you are a total prick. Listen to the fans today.
Good luck to you when you sack him and we are losing next home game. |

It really wasn't very poor in my opinion. We did OK and showed plenty of intent. Most of the fans seemed to agree at the end.
Running out of games? It's only November. You would think we were 10 points adrift with three games to go the way some on this board go on. We could just win 3 in 5 over the next month and we would be out the bottom three. Unlikely, but not impossible
Yes we are in real trouble, but there is plenty of hope, provided we keep the manager I say. Get rid and we are doomed. [Post edited 23 Nov 18:38]

We weren't shite today. A makeshift side clearly still playing for the manager and it certainly wasn't dull.
Great save from Nardi, Saito did well again, Varane blew very hot and cold and Morrison did fine. Wasn't Jimmy's finest hour.
Celar there are no words. Only pity really. Terrible decision from whoever to let him take it.
Feel like we should have won as so many chances and we gave them a goal but then again Ward saved us on their winning goal.
Alfie so nearly brought the house down at the end. If we show this spirit we have a chance, for all our inadequacies. |

Well the fans made it pretty clear they were still behind Marti - and he seemed pretty passionate when returning at the end.
Nourry take note. |

My job (thrilling stuff, I know) is to write exam questions for 11 year olds. Remember those triangle questions with labelled points? Naturally, a few of my triangles have Q.P and R as the labels.
Plenty of other very subtle QPR references are thrown in, and some more blatant such as a pie chart where a group of pupils are asked to name their favourite football team.
Very childish, but passes the time :-) [Post edited 23 Nov 8:49]

Really enjoyable and informed listen, thanks. I am glad the majority thought Marti should stay, although with plenty of caveats. I guess I am guilty of wiling him to be the Messiah and although I think he is pretty blameless, perhaps the Messiah would actually have done a better job this season.
Sobering stuff, crowd reaction today is going to be fascinating. |

Dembele sums up recent times for me. It's gone unbelievably quickly from what a great signing, please secure him permanently, to what on earth happened to him and ooh that's a long-term injury.
So quick, not even a second to enjoy the good times. |

Ah yes getting back to the football - one quality midfielder alongside Super Ray in his pomp and I am convinced we would have won something. Holloway was dreadful, whatever the misty-eyed romantics say, and Barker was OK but nowhere near top class. Imagine another good midfielder in there........argh. |

Hope it means Marti won't be sacked if / when we lose. Would seem ridiculous to list out injury disasters before doing that?
Straw clutching, I know. |

Couldn't agree more Brian and I think you were right at the time and I still think you were right now. The cold "facts" TK lists seem damning evidence to the contrary, but it misses out so much of the emotion and feeling and frustration of the time. With odd echoes to now, we had communication that involved Cinzano writing puff pieces in the programme claiming absolute rubbish about Thompson and his commitment - the good ship QPR was heading to the rocks with a nepo baby in charge.
It's all very well saying it was a good offer for Peacock and a sensible sale, but what about the timing? The lack of cover? Who we were playing next? Why it happened? Also, Sinton claimed he didn't want to leave. So who was lying? |

Surely proof positive they have feelers out on this board and other fan hubs. A direct reaction to the criticism.
Good to see. Although the injury list isn't. |

I'm disagreeing with your opinion of Thompson's treatment and the protests, not with "facts" of what happened. |

Good points, but lots of retrospective in-the-cold-light-of-day stuff. Of course from what has happened since it seemed absurd, but the key for me was that in those days I was a QPR fan, interested only in what happened on the pitch, not how many £££ we had. There were no TV deals or whatever, no FFP.
What we had was a fantastic team and a fantastic squad and every time we got somewhere Thompson actively sought to rip the team apart, sell, sell, sell. Yes - agree - all very sensible, all very good for little old QPR and our financial solidity.
But not much fun. We will never win a trophy in my lifetime, and that was our best chance. And he squandered it.
So I disagree. |

It does sound ridiculous now, but there were very valid reasons at the time. We finally had a team capable of winning at least a cup and Thompson was determined to sell every single good player we had, regardless of the time in the season or even if there was much point in selling them (Peacock - should have stayed his entire career).
I will never forgive him for that.
But I suppose these days he would be a great chairman as he cashes in on our players. But - totally different situation I feel. |
