I think in general we need to get over making flippant references to things like that and accept them for the dark comedy that fuels any QPR fan.
Otherwise my match reports are going to be absolutely fcked. |

This is the regular pre-match press round they have to do. BBC, WLS, local media, Sky etc contractually obligated access pre and post match. |

Well there's been a story published by a well connected local journalist saying the relationship has fallen apart to such an extent that the manager is considering resigning. That is a big shift. |

Again I agree, it’s basically untenable if that story is accurate, one has to go and it’ll be the manager.
But i still cannot believe after 10 years the owners have finally decided to go down this overarching strategy, manager is essentially bibs balls and cones route, while at the same time smashing the DOF and CEO role into one and giving it to a kid who has never done either job in his life.
Dress it up how you like mate, it’s insane.

Oh yeh we were a huge outlier up there, with Kia/Rigg/Taff and then Captain Fcking Wizard Sleeve spending the money. Disgusting.

When we talk about what went before, you’re totally right, after the Beale/Critchley/Ainsworth debacle anybody capable of turning up dressed for work and keeping away games at Watford down to a slim 2-0 half time deficit was going to look good and be warmly received. Totally agree with you.
But before that we had a manager who, on the whole (with many notable exceptions), at least tried to play the sort of football we want to see us play. He also parred the course for our wage bill - 13th, 9th, 11th was exactly where we should be for our spend. If you read down the Championship league table it’s increasingly just a list of wage bills. Leeds pay the most, they’re top, Plymouth pay the least, they’re bottom. There are a few anomalies as you go along (Stoke and Luton) but by and large that’s what this league is now.
If you have a manager at qpr parring that course, be very careful about getting rid of them because plenty haven’t been able to do it - a former England manager wasn’t able to do it.
Warburton was sacked in part (only in part, I accept he made plenty of mistakes in the final year) because he was seen as stubborn, wanted more control and power, wouldn’t accept what was being handed down by the CEO/DOF, and told them some home truths they didn’t like about their development model, academy and staff. Much of what he said proved to be true. We drove ourselves off a two year cliff edge. We only survived that cliff fall because the current manager came in and did us a solid.
Now here we are again. The manager parring the course has personality clashes etc.
Those who don’t learn from history condemned to repeat it etc. |

I mean it’s possible we just plucked the name of the Spanish bloke managing Hammarby out of thin air in December 22 and slung it in there for clout. |

At the first on the record/off the record fan sites meeting with Nourry, he was very firm that he had led on the Cifuentes appointment.
If you put Cifuentes’ name into the search of this site you’ll see that in December 2022 we said the club had been keen, and Marti also, at the point they appointed Critchley, but the buy out fee had put them off and Critchley was available for free.

Just nice to see Spud out and about tbh. Means he’s probably pitching for jobs again (Wrexham when Parkinson wins two of his first six games?) which makes my season previews so much easier because that’s one team guaranteed to be absolutely fcked. |

A winning goal scored at a point in the game which Man Utd had been treated to so often, by so many referees, that 30 years later fcking wnkers still refer to it as “Fergie time”.
Bite me. My only regret is Onuoha didn’t turn round and whack the thing on himself then run off celebrating. |

After the Cantona goal, I hope it was fixed. I hope it was fixed as fck. I hope we did it deliberately, and spent the money on hookers and blow. Hooray for us and our bent result. Fck you and the horse you rode in on. You R’s. |
