Honest as always. Interesting elements to this and the best is that as far as he is concerned this is his long term plan.

Never knowingly right.

His stock is relatively high at the moment....

Saved us from certain relegation last season

Lower mid table this season with horrific injuries and players he has no say over (let's pretend that's his line to his next employer)

Loved by the fans

Loved by the media...

Yep, stock valuation is still high.

However, another mediocre season next year and it starts to weaken. Let's be honest, unless we spend a lot of money or get really really lucky with our recruitment, we're a bottom half team for the foreseeable.

He's a competitive coach who wants success.

I would +1 to this and say simply I would be surprised if he is still around next season, but obviously it’s impossible to say 100% one way or another as I don’t think either MC, CN or RG knows that right now.

To borrow Brian’s important I think, I think it’s ultimately just a clash of cultures and personalities that have caused friction between him and CN. He is an extremely ambitious guy who prior to joining QPR has never turned down a chance to publicise himself and speak about his beliefs and philosophy and at QPR he has a boss who is fastidious (some would say paranoid) about comms. And again as a supremely ambitious guy, with a very active agent i don’t believe that QPR will ever be more than a stepping stone for him, and his boss has said himself he puts great value in loyalty.

Finally, we go into the summer needing much the same as last summer - at least one solid RB, LB, CB, CM and CF and for an ambitious manager, what would success look like next season having bedded those in - being safe a few weeks earlier than this season? His career to date has been 1/2 seasons everywhere and move on. I don’t see QPR as the club he finally settles down at for a 5 year project when I believe that his relationship with the decision makers isn’t exactly solid.

As Norf says, id love to be wrong as I think he has done a pretty damn good job here in the circumstances, but if he takes a modest payout to shake hands amicably and part, I sincerely hope CN and the data guys get someone even better in.


Yeah but what about us fans eh, we chanted his name when we was proper shit??

I agree though he's an ambitious guy and will jump at the next better offer that comes along (ideally with a CEO /DoF he can get along with).
