The QPR summer managers rumours thread on 13:12 - Jun 19 by derbyhoop | Is that what happened with Taylor Richards. |
And Joey Barton, and Adel Taraabt. It's common to ship a player out on loan if the coach thinks they are disruptive and we cannot sell them at that point in time. I guess a lot of the time the club loses a lot of money on these deals. Do they budget to pay for two managers salaries? Last year we must have still be paying for Ainsworth for a chunk of time, until he worked again? |  | |  |

Yes. |  | |  |

Without the other thread we'd be there already. Incidentally, it is possible that the club will simply never announce him, we'll just start the season with him on the touchline as if he's always been here? |  | |  |

The QPR summer managers rumours thread on 13:28 - Jun 19 by kensalriser | Edit: replying to Mart "Ok , I’ll bite, as the usual suspects crying about ‘ITK’s go strangely quiet when it supports their point of view . Most of what I say is conjecture , not all, I have a slither of info coming my way , but not anything important , so I’ll take your word for it James . As I said before I’m all for people sharing stuff they’ve heard or whatever . It’s why most of us are here (not sure why a couple are ,but it’s up to them ) . But how do you know this ?" There's a lot of going around in circles on this thread! This isn't a secret. Ruben's the major shareholder, so he controls the board. [Post edited 19 Jun 13:31]

I get that . Been a lot of comings and goings and jostling for position and all sorts since March time . People moved in and moved out . I wouldn’t expect to know the ins and outs of all that but this club doesn’t announce anything it doesn’t have too. Ruben may well still be ‘in charge ‘ but getting rid of Marti wasn’t his call so I’ve been lead to believe by 2 or 3 different people . They might be wrong of course But it is odd don’t you think ? |  | |  |

The QPR summer managers rumours thread on 13:39 - Jun 19 by loftus77 | This is the point, isn't it? Normally a new man comes in, give him a bit of slack as he settles in, new environment, new league, new country etc. But Monsieur Stephan, through completely no fault of his own, will get none of this. Everything will be immediately compared and contrasted to a popular, respected, talented previous Head Coach Whose Name Shall Not/Cannot Be Mentioned. It has to go well - considerably and clearly well - for the club right from early August. And that pressure is, apparently, totally self-inflicted. [Post edited 19 Jun 13:41]

Not so sure about that. There was rumbling of discontent regarding the performances under MC last season, lots of 'the worst half of football ever', but in the ground everyone was 100% behind the team and manager. As a group of fans those in the ground can usually separate the team/manager and those above them. We QPR fans are pretty special when it comes to that. |  | |  |

Not really. He's not the CEO or Chair, he appoints people to those positions to run the club and make decisions. He can override those decisions but most of the time he's going to trust them. |  |

Seems reasonable when the average tenure of a Championship manager is 10 months. Marti is currently the 5th longest serving, just behind Rohl. Neither will be in place for August 10th. |  |
