Rio playing or doing MOTD 23:25 - Aug 6 with 4725 viewsquickpassrotter

See that Rio is announced formally as one of the new permanent pundits on MOTD starting new season. Obviously go that cleared in his contract with us. Anyone concerned about this .... priorities etc.. ? Or is this the way of the world ? Charging off after games to the BBC Studios ... or maybe he doesn't intend to play many matches for us anyway ?

Don't see anything wrong personally. Players normally rest on Sunday, so Ferdinand goes up there after Saturdays game, cones down Sunday morning. As long as he doesn't do it before a Sunday or Monday game I'm find with it

Would rather he didn't, but then we knew what we were getting when we signed him. He's a man transitioning from a playing career into other ventures. I doubt he would have signed if we hadn't allowed him the media side. One of the many reasons he would never have 'chased the money' out in Qatar or wherever the fck.

From a neutral point of view, I'm glad he's signed up for MOTD, he really impressed/surprised me with his punditry during the WC

Phil Neville too. 59 caps.
59 caps.
I really should get in touch with his agent.

Wilkins used to do a lot of this when he was with us too, and didn't stop him being one of our greatest ever centre mids (until he got too old).

Although back then it was a quick jog over the road, not a train to Salford

I imagine he'll be one of the rolling panel members, dependent on when we've played

If we play up north I imagine he'll be on if not they will have someone else. Probably more likely to be on the Sunday show if we play on the saturday

It'll be interesting to see how harsh he is on himself if he picks apart one of our games he's played in

Shit but local

It shows the greatest impertinence to have even asked the question. It's obvious that games of football shouldn't be allowed to interfere with Rio's media career. He's bigger than that.

At his age I cant see him starting every game, he wont be risked in that way. If he makes 60% appearances for us I'll be impressed. And he's capable of influence off the field with the youngsters too so no big deal for me. Came across really well in his video signing for us/medical etc, I think his integrity will stand up.

Fir the 2 home games against Wigan, i left Manchester at 4:30 and, it was only going into extra time in the playoff that meant i missed part of the 2 games.

He went up to Manchester yesterday for a "charity game" - Salford (The club Giggs, Scholes etc have taken over) v an "All Stars" team.

He was "Assistant Manager" according to the Fail - so didn't play!

He's clearly long-term injured, so will rarely be playing for us anyway.

I'd like to see a segment of Rio criticizing his own defending after our 6-5 opening day win over Hull (five Barton 45 yard free kicks and and SWP bicycle kick since you ask)

I'm not too bothered how may games he plays as long Ned and Caulker are getting picked, we only need one OAP in defence so him Dunne and Hill can be rotated.

Somebody HAS to tell me how to get MOTD on a stream or something because thats the most time I will see him.
He better wear a QPR pin on his jumper or tie and mention us at least 9 times per show...

I'm not bothered as long as back 3 (as rest of the team) are picked on merit and form.

Just because Ned/Caulker are young , doesn't mean they can't be dropped if they aren't performing.

Lets try and avoid , for once, pre conceived ideas about certain players

X can do no wrong, while Y can do no right - something we're very good at doing on this board at times!

I'd rather him sit in the BBC studio on a Saturday night than go clubbing so could be a good thing.

While I agree with you in principle, I think we can all agree that Shite-Phillips should not be given a squad number and should figure nowhere near the 1st team!

I dont think Ned /Caulker's youth will have no bearing on team selection. If Rio is anywhere near half fit he will play. H does not do 'youth' he does players he knows ,players HE rates.
Youth is way down the scale..

Always found the oft repeated 'only plays his favourites' accusation quite funny. What else should a manager do? Play players he doesn't like?

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

I found it hilarious when one of his old favourites had to say .'No Boss take me off ,play the younger option' TWICE..!!

Him and Danny Murphy were the best pundits along with Lee Dixon during the WC so good luck to him. Will stop the BBC slagging Rangers at least.
