General 'Championship' Thread 2018 - 2021

Re: Birmingham look at the haphazard list of their recent managers: Rowett > Zola > Redknapp > Cotterill > Monk > ??

There is just no plan there. They are a bit like us; they hire a new manager who has a new plan and style which invariably takes a while to implement by which point the board get itchy feet and they start again.

Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Martin O'Neill, replacing him with former France international Sabri Lamouchi as their new head coach.

Have they said why he's been sacked? He never got chance to change the squad or anything.

I still think overall the game needs to move towards a manager 'transfer window' too. I'd say you can only change in the summer so every manager is guaranteed at least the season.

If you hire a real dud manager that was the club's decision in the first place.

OK here is one for you to consider: Assume we were not awash with midfielders, would you welcome Wayne Rooney as Player/Coach like Derby have done?

I would take him every day of the week. He may be in his 30's and his legs might have gone but his football brain is going to be better than any Championship player. His experience in top flight football and the fact he is still fit enough to play would make him an asset for any club.  What he could teach and show the youngsters would be invaluable. 

Just need to make sure that we keep all the local grannies at a safe distance.

100% no. 110% no.

Simply because this is QPR. Simply because this type of move never works for us. We probably said word for word what stoatey has said above about Rio Ferdinand when he joined. At other clubs this type of move is win win. At QPR none of the positives end up coming true.

With Rio he was meant to offer invaluable experience across the squad and help teach/develop Caulker alongside him. In the end Rio was a crock who could barely get out of first gear and Caulker became a depressed alcoholic.

For some reason these kind of players can never motivate themselves at QPR and just see us as some kind of retirement pay off. Let's stick to signing hungry, motivated players with something to prove.

Huddersfield sack their manager 3 League games in to the season.

I imagine Stoke will follow should they lose today.
