Holloway.
I'm just not convinced McClaren is a massive step up. I hope to be reading this in 12 months laughing at myself because he got us promoted with 105 points and made me look a mug but I don't see it happening.
Will he really attract a better level of player? Will he really create a buzz around the club and gets fans back through the gates? Only time will tell but this is a risky move from the owners.
Northwest, I couldnt work out how to add this to the other thread so hope you don't mind me creating a new one.
No issue, slightly different threads anyway, the other thread is discussing if Holloway is leaving or not, this one is a comparison between the 2 options it appears we now have
Shame we'd can't add an Ainsworth option. I'm sure if we have to get rid of Holloway that Ainsworth would get more votes than McClaren!
Olly for me. Happy with the way things are progressing and he has earned the chance to move things forward next season. If he has to go then McClaren is OK but I don't think he should go.
McLaren for me as I feel we need to change things But I'd of rather had gareth ainsworth Ollie is a passionate man and loves his job and QPR But the brand of football and selections are at times baffling to say the least Ollie starts badly next season he'd be a goner anyway I think the board are probably struggling to find a reason to sack him,and maybe he objected to the board not offering onuoha something to stay for and other matters
If you done this survey after our 5-2 loss at home to forest for example you'd of seen more pointing to mclaren And more to Ollie after the great win at villa
Right decision by the board. Right timing. We have gone backwards with OLLIE. McClaren I'm not sure about but he could take us forward. Should have had a none of the above box.
We haven't gone backwards as such, we were 17th when Hasselbaink got sacked and this season finished 16th. We were also finished slightly higher than last season with a cheaper and younger squad.
The club has plateaued rather than gone backwards.

... and done it with a smaller budget. We've done better than I expected this season. Anyway, he's gone now so all that's left to say is thank you Ian.
We were 12th the season before and on 60 points. The timing of JFH sacking was a shock also after getting a draw at FOREST. OLLIE ended up 18th and then 16th that's backwards.
I agree with North W I don’t see McLaren being a big enough step up. Ollie has done an ok job with limited budget and deserved another year. Ho Hum role on next season...
Ollie struggled with no quality striker; inherited some duff players and others on PL wages; could not spend his way forward; never had a stable Back 3 or Back 4 because of major injuries; brought development players up into the squad; and still managed mid-table! What could he have achieved without his hands tied? We will never know...
