McClaren sacked

If it is Sherwood I expect our attendances to drop below 10,000 before the end of the season. I have yet to see anywhere any QPR fan who wants him so why would the board want him?
I'll repeat that he would not get any other job in football. I still don't believe these Sherwood rumours.

I also have to question the club heavily if they do want a quick appointment because there is no rush really and at this stage after 4 years treading water we really need to get the appointment right. We cannot afford a rash decision on this so the club is bonkers if it makes a decision overnight.

They should use the next month to do a thorough hunt and interview process and then appoint the new manager as the season ends.

I'm with you on this one northwesthoop we need to take our time and get things right. I just fear that unless we can bring in several experienced young players our owners expectations far outweigh the abilities of our squad or any manager. 

There will also be an issue In 7 games time  about the out of contract players like Hall, Lynch, Bidwell etc.,  As a fan who has watched most games this season I know who I would keep and who I would let go but a new manager might only see these guys play 3 or 4 games. It's frightening how poorly run the club has become. 

West London Sport are suggesting that we have approached Lee Bowyer of Charlton whose contract as manager expires at the end of the season.

Bowyer has plenty of experience as a player and as the Charlton manager he has certainly worked on a shoestring budget so he would fit the QPR owners criterea. I'm not totally convinced he would be the right man but he appeals more than Tim Sherwood.

Bowyer has just 6/7 months experience at Charlton. I am not sure what really qualifies him for the role of QPR manager at this point. He has past history at Charlton so has been a good fit there. There is very little to suggest why he is the man. He could well be but I'm not sure.

As a few of us have now said it doesn't really matter who we appoint if we have no investment in the playing squad.

They did single matey; but to what effect exactly?
Sure, neither have been unmitigated disasters - though not a few of us might have wished that on Frank!

But neither have done much. The best you could say for either of them, with fingers firmly crossed behind your back, is that neither club is not too much worse off with them at the helm.

Under Lampard, Derby have invested very heavily, getting 9 new players in, spending money we could only ever dream of (Waghorn £5 million, Marriott £3 million, Jozefzoon £2.75 million, Malone £2+ million, George Evans £1million) while signing loans from Chelscum and Liverpool (Mount, Wilson, Tomori) who wouldn't go near us, just to hang around the fringes of the play-off places, which would be the minimum expectation most seasons even without that raft of transfers in, with zero chance of automatic promotion.

Meanwhile, Gerrard has fared perhaps worse. Don't let Glasgow Rangers second position fool you. Despite, again, investing heavily and (like Lampard) using his contacts to loan in EPL team players (e.g. Ryan Kent from Liverpool, easily Glasgow Rangers' best player) Rangers have not closed the gap on a Celtic team who are now worse than they were last season. For instance, currently Rangers have 60 points from 31 games; at the same stage last season (after 31 games) Rangers had 62 points, with a weaker squad, and the Pedro Caixinha/Graham Murty freak show in charge.


As for Bowyer, aren't we just perhaps giving him a little more benefit of the doubt because he isn't (because of his incredibly short time as a manager) a proven failure, unlike the rest of those desperados we are being linked with?
