Is Eustace a managerial option?..

Knows the squad - good, bad and its potential.

Would work with the squad he’s got.

Key point... maybe more flexible and less stubborn?

It’s farcical

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walter If we fancy trying a Norwich/Barnsley instead of hoofball and Territorial Army larping I'd nominate this guy. Sort of a German Chris Wilder who did awesome stuff with a small club before getting chewed up and spat out at a dysfunctional bigger one. Why yes I do have a Twitter account how could you tell.

Unlike Barnsley, we would never be that left field thinking. If Warburton goes it's almost certainly someone off the managerial merry-go-round.

My point being that I remain unconvinced that the squad is the problem, it’s Warburton’s stubbornness - one might hope Eustace would not demand a new squad and could work Socratically with this squad (er... ffs and etc)

Eaustace showed quite a lot of potential in that earlier stint but no idea if he'd turn this fcuking iceberg fixated mess around.

Do agree though, this squad should be more than good enough to survive. The 'only 4 decent players' stuff is complete balls.

For me eustace would be utterly pointless. I can see thd arguments for and against sacking Warburton, but just replacing him with someone less good? Its a football team not a carpet shop

Worst squad in a long time.

this squad does look dysfunctional, physically a bit lightweight and inexperienced, but Warburton has got a tune out of them at times. I suppose to make a full assessment we'd have to know where he and the heirarchy think we are in terms of the squad rebuilding process, and what's planned for the next transfer window. IMHO a big mobile stopper in midfield who can retain possession, even simply, would make a big difference.

One plea though, can we stop with the insults and put-downs. Because I don't think it's particularly viable to sack Warburton right now (unless another manager could explain to me how he'd change things without a wholesale revamp of the squad) doesn't make me happy, clappy or a fan-boy, and people who think a change is needed are entitled to that view as well. I definitely understand it.

I was going to add that Warburton needs to change and be more pragmatic, but I think maybe we've seen signs of that recently - is it 3 goals conceded in 4 games now? And no, I haven't a f'kin clue why he takes Chair off either, he's got a great engine and is at the heart of everything good we do.

I'd like to see us get the old Fulham manager Jokanivic (I know I can't spell) if Warburton goes.

Nigel Pearson is an interesting one, could be a modern day Warnock or Jim Magilton.

I've no idea if either of those are realistic though. Paul Cook is a good shout as well

I don't think Pep would turn this lot into promotion contenders but Warburton in the face of awful results run, inability to either defend or score sticks rigidly to same tactics?
Why should anyone expect the outcome to be different?
He must go today, he has now failed in the same way at his last 3 clubs.

Ollie, McClaren and Warbs were somewhat off the beaten track as domestic hires go, it's not really true to say we've been throwing jobbing chancers at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Doubt Chris and Les will be much minded to go full continental though, yes.

Like the vast majority of us, I don't know what is going on at the club apart from what I see during the 90 minutes or whether now is the time to change the manager.

I do believe that a manager has a shelf life and that players will get bored listening to the same voice and essentially the same message, especially if things are not going well. Have we reached that point? Not sure but we must be close to it.

The club needs to decide very soon if we are going to stick or twist. Unless, there is a big change in the next couple of games then I don't see anyway they can justify a new contract, at least in his current role. Therefore he will either need to leave or Les will need to move on and MW can become DOF. (unlikely).

Eustace with Bircham or Ainsworth with Eustace might be options.

Presumably each time we sack a manager we lose money that could have been spent on buying better quality players...

Eustace won 2 in 7 last time he was in charge. By all means give him the caretaker role but let's not consider him for anything else.

Sherwood has been the Turd of Damocles since the very first day Les sat at his desk. Football soulmates, first choice every time. TF listening to Twitter saved us initially, we only got away with it last time when he apparently bottled it over the finances.

Les is still butthurt about it too if you recall.

https://talksport.com/football/efl/520885/ian-holloway-exclusive-qpr-axing-worst

Ferdinand stressed that he was more than happy with Warburton’s appointment, having admired the former Brentford boss from afar for many years, but says the sheer dismay many QPR fans expressed over the potential appointment of Sherwood baffled him.

“When you go in somewhere you want people to welcome you and with Tim it felt very much like people had written him off before he had even got the job,” he stated. "As a threesome Chris [Ramsey], Tim and myself worked really well at Tottenham together, ask anyone at that football club, and they produced a load of young players during that time.

“So why would you not want that for your club? Why would you throw all sorts of opposition against it? Why would you not try and replicate that elsewhere? [...] when he comes through the door I’m not hoping he’s going to do what we’ve spoke about, I know he’s going to do it.”

I have always refused to accept Dave McIntyre's take on him but unfortunately I see enough on this board every day to know it's true.

Laughable outrage re Sherwood. Don't tell me passion, couple of decent results & some tribal soundbites wouldn't quickly get fans on side.

He doesn't and this is something I've gone on about for years. QPR not a club for reserved characters (Harford, Waddock, Hughes, Ramsey, others). Sherwood though does have personality/bullshit of successful #QPR managers. Few wins and sounsbites and he'd turn tide of opinion. https://t.co/v4eRhOZb4Z

Going continental, doing a Barnsley, etc complicated by us "taking back control" on January 1, and a whole load of new rules around hiring managers and signing players from abroad. Any manager coming here after that date has to have managed in a "top league" for at least two consecutive years or three full years in the last five. Top leagues are classed as the first and second divisions in UK, Spain, Germany, France. And the first divisions of a clutch of other countries including Portugal, Holland, Belgium, Turkey, Russia, Scotland.
