Just wondered if Clive had approached the club on this front and whether an interview is on the radar. Lots of interesting ground could be covered... |  | | |  |

Me "We haven't even played a fcking game yet."

On the contrary I think there is a lot to ask before we kick a ball when people's views start to be influenced by how the side is playing. | | | |

I don't really know what you mean by that. You want him to publicly talk about tactics? | |

No not that at all.
Why he came, what his expectations are, how he sees the team playing, what his aspirations are short and medium term, what he makes of the Championship amongst other things.
Happy to beg to differ if you hold a different view. | | | |

Have you not seen any of the official club content with him since he was hired? I'm pretty sure he's addressed most if not at all of those topics in as much depth (or lack thereof) as you'd realistically expect before a ball's been kicked. |  | | |

Bored of platitude and cliches to be honest. I can save everyone the time:
‘Squad up for it’
‘Good bunch of lads’
‘One or two signings’
‘Young squad’
Let’s be honest, unless he pulls up trees he’ll be gone soon anyway. I wouldn’t even bother painting his name on the car parking space. |  | | |

Isn’t steady progress what they’re looking for? I don’t think he needs to pull up any trees to achieve that. Holloway left us where he found us position-wise (albeit with a reduced wage bill). The club clearly feel higher is achievable. Very difficult to be sure whether there is or isn’t. I lean towards there being so.
If that’s the case and we finish 12th, would that not be seen as a step forward? I might be wrong, but I just csn’t See that type of improvement being unacceptable to the board and getting McClaren the sack.
As a fan base, we need to give McClaren the slack we gave Holloway.
1) it’s fair
2) it helps a young side
3) it might have a positive impact
I know people can say ‘Holloway deserved some slack because of past achievenents’, but that attitude is one that focuses on “what do I get from QPR and it’s staff/players”, not “what can I give QPR in terms of my support”.
Just look at Union Berlin fans on that support front, in spite of their current boss have a disaster and the club going backwards! Ours is technically going forwards! |  | | |

Met him last week for some off the record stuff, getting to know you etc which the club has kindly facilitated with all the new managers we've had recently. Interviews tend to follow a bit later on.
Sadly, because some wally decided to leak that FFP press release we may find our access restricted going forwards but I hope not. |  | | |

Nothing personal to McClaren, he’s achieved some incredible stuff in his career and he’ll always have my support. Was more a comment on the manager go round in general to be honest. It was only 12 months ago we heard the same stuff for Holloway and 24 months since JFH.
Not critical just sceptical. | | | |

That’s fair enough. I think most (sane) fans want to see a stop to the manager go around. My broad position with all this is that the fans have a role to play to make this happen: less “little emperor” type behaviour and more actual “supporting”, especially vocally at games.
On the Holloway point, I do think he got a fair crack at the whip. 18 months and we ended up where we started with a worse win % (I think...) than his two predecessors. And he had 3 transfer windows and a full season in that time. Given all that, and the fact we now have all these young, apparently high potential kids who, due to financial constraints we’ll have to coach well to get the best out of, i don’t think Holloway’s sacking and McClaren’s hire was quite the “manager go round” you allude to; more a reasoned decision.
And if fans accept that, it’s more likely we’ll see more “supporting” at games. That’s why I think it’s important for those sane fans to back this move and back McClaren. | | | |

I agree in the most part, but would you be honestly be that surprised to see McClaren go before 2019? For any reason?
I don’t trust the club not to pull the trigger too soon. | | | |

Well, depends on whether by “club” you mean Hoos and Ferdinand, or Fernandes.
Given Fernandes is no longer the chairman, majority stakeholder or CEO, i’m not sure he solely should be considered “the club”.
I’m pretty confident Hoos and Ferdinand for the whole season. But i’m also pretty confident we’ll have a better season than last too.
Maybe i’m just too optimistic. But the club is doing so much right in approach on and off the field, I think it deserves my optimism! | | | |
