I think we should give Stephan a few seasons here, instead of a few more months maximum.
Before i get accused of accepting mediocrity and accepting of 16th forevermore. I am not. I just think we have to give at least one of our many managerial selections, time to work here over a period of time where they can make an impact.
I just think giving a manager a few seasons to get in as many players, he also likes - appreciate some will be of the clubs choosing and working with all at QPR and how we currently operate and giving a manager time.
Tbh, if you keeping getting rid of the managers after a few bad games, that would be like accepting 16th as the dream, because thats whats happened here for years.
We beat the league leaders not so long ago and comprehensively beat the fourth team away from home, game before last. We can bounce back from this defeat. We played really well and won 3 - 1 against Charlton in the game following the 7 - 1 reverse against Coventry.
Immediate knee jerk reactions and sacking managers instantly, well they have all worked out so well. Give at least one of these guys a real and proper crack. Who knows if it will work but i think a change of approach is required now
Some were advocating Holloways time here. Yes he got us promoted from a lower quality league, but that was after a relegation. We stuck with a manager then for five seasons and things improved.
If you get rid of Stephan, you are getting a similar standard or worse candidate to have four months to a year to get it right and three consecutive defeats and we get rid and start the whole sorry merry go round agaim.
Lets try a different way and see where this takes us.
The way we chop and change so often is getting us nowhere and never will. [Post edited 25 Feb 11:07]

I'd be surprised to see JS last past next season, possibly gone before next season starts in fact. I'm impressed by him but I suspect he will be tempted back to France sooner or later.
We are 3-4 good top championship level players away from making a real go of this division and last night proved it to me. We have injury issues for sure that need to be addressed but player recruitment top priority.
Would really like to think we can keep hold of JS but his ambition will need to be backed by CEO/owners. |
Well it would certainly be a novelty if the manager just left us, rather than being sacked! |  |

I find it hard to have a strong opinion on Stephan really . He seems - fine? Some of the defensive coaching has looked suspect at times. He's done some stuff that has appeared odd from the outside looking in (big rotations out of the blue, then little to no rotation when it would seem the right time for it), but we don't really know what goes on in the dressing room or the training ground. If you had to score him, you'd probably say he's kind of mid-table championship quality - which is what we are as a club right now.
But the point others have made is also true - you're never going to know what a manager can achieve if you don't give them time and support. And he has at least shown he can be successful elsewhere.
And FWIW none of the most obvious problems we have appear to lead back to JS, so on balance it would be stupid to start calling for his head imo.
EDIT: And if the club were to sack JS it would be a diversion from the more structural problems that have been outlined in great detail on this board. [Post edited 26 Feb 9:33]

Until we aim to win every game we play, and by that, I mean, compete to the very best of our ability in every competitive first team league and cup match, with the sole aim of marching on and progressing, we will never amount to much.
We have a very small-time mentality at our club, we have a tendency to big up opponents way too much, to such an extent now, that the club treats games against the likes of Norwich bloody City, even when they're languishing 2nd from bottom for good bloody reason, as if we're about to take on Bayern effing Munich.
Until, we stop tugging our bloody forelock at every bloody club that happens to get a few thousand more through the gate than we do, it doesn't matter how many billionaires, and multi-millionaires, we have sitting on their arses in the boardroom, or even have Pep bloody Gaurdiola as manager, nothing will change.
The last 30 years should tell everyone that. |  | | |

Both Stephan and Cifuentes before him have done a reasonable job in difficult circumstances (smallish squad with key players continually injured).
Can't see any point changing the manager again when our main issue seems to be fitness/injury and availability which isn't down to the manager. |  |
