Here's an idea Stephan, pick the side yourself and challenge the child to sack you.

It's called having a backbone.

I don’t think he understands.

If the players don’t want you at this place, this is what they do. He needs to go tout suite.

I thought the interview was perfectly fine, to be honest.

He started off with an apology, he promised better, he didn't hang his players out to dry, and he didn't hang his bosses out to dry.

Yeah, what he said was ok. What else could he say though? The question should really be is he being hung out to dry by his bosses?

Less interested in his after match statements as I am his team selections currently.

Not saying he's spolit for choice but my god he's all over the place in terms of selection and game managment.

After four games if this is how they're showing their devotion and togetherness, God help us when it really goes nipples north!

That was as abject and embarrassing as it gets out there today. The problems at QPR emanate from the top down, which has been rotten since the useless tubby Malay fellow rocked up 14 years ago.

Everything about how this club is run is encapsulated in the apointment of a smug pup who's literally shitting on everything because he's not been potty trained. He needs to be sent packing. The fitness of these players is nothing short of scandalous; and frankly, the manager looks like he's on the cusp of being QPR'd.

A complete shower!

Good post. Thought the same. He also emphasised the “collective”, which is important because for things to improve, we need to stick together.

"Less interested in his after match statements as I am his team selections currently."

Me too, Hooping_Mad.

The problem I have when I think about Stéphan's selection is that I have no idea who's fit, who's partially fit and who isn't available at all.

And I think - I think - that we may as fans be concentrating too much on the availability/unavailability of certain players, as concerning as that is, rather than the much bigger problem of even the players who are technically available being nowhere near fit.

In old money, there was always three main components of fitness - speed, strength and stamina. There are more components these days, I realise, but let's just look at the old three for now if that's ok.

Speed - we're slow to breaking balls, even early on in games.
Strength - we're getting horsed off the ball.
Stamina - we're gassed, we're getting cramps.

When we look at it like that...

What chance does Stéphan currently have?
What chance to the players have?
What chance does our club currently have?

Fitness is one of those things that fits into the category of "be the best you can be at the things where only work is required".

I'm not sure that many other clubs would accept this.
I'm not sure that many of our past managers would accept this.
I'm not sure that many of our past owners would accept this.

And I don't think that our club, our manager and our owners should accept it.

Problem is the fitness/conditioning is mostly done pre season, they are now going to have to play themselves fit.

It's a bizarre approach. Does anyone know if any other club does this anywhere in the world?

You could set your watch with Dembele's cramp.

I would add a lack of aggression to the speed, strength and stamina, we are too nice all over the pitch incuding the keepers.

The thing that hit me like a slug in the guts at the FF was the utter lack of passion from anyone set before us. Is it any great surprise, therefore, if the team today mirrored the staff's ennui? Gutless just about covers it.

Not wanting to just repeat Clive but "Bibs, balls and cones" not a manager. First team coach, and quite probably CM's yes man.

Fitness, the fans were asked to help fund the new training centre and all we've had ever since is constant muscle injuries. We did and do our bit every week, isn't it about time the club got the basics sorted? are we within our right to ask why does it keep going wrong?

I recall a recent 4 yr 'project' where Gianni Pallidini was part of actually deleivering on a stated aim, and oh how we laughed at the pompous fat chancer. That was a guy who was in tears at news we got promoted and no points deduction.

Shall we compare the quality of Palidini's signings and his squads 'Fitness' over the Nourry bots tenure.

The question I ask is this, if Palidini was a joke then what is Nourry?

The DOF is responsible for First Team affairs not the head coach, Ben Williams what are his KPI's? what are the consequences for missing them? Does JCS still exsist? Nothing makes sense Brian absolutley nothing !

If you want to talk old school then I agree in as much as we should spend more time in the 'breaking balls' aspect of club management

I agree the owner shouldn't accept it, which is why it falls to the fans to pass on the message as for some reason I very much doubt Christian will be telling Ruben all about his winning rapport with the fan base any time soon.

Lee hoos appears to have left the building in all but spirit so we are in essence a hobby horse for a pubic school bratt.

I've had two of the worst weekends of my life losing my Dad along the way and the club serve up this. It's not much of an escape any more is it?

Sorry wasn't having a pop at you Brian.

Games Smarts and Guile are sorely lacking though, Colback types who know how to grind a result out. Maybe JCS, Frey, Smyth enough to have a effect on a game.

Cook won't be first choice for much longer, Field and Chair don't seem as effective against physical sides. What we are lacking is any real upper championship experience. Loans are going to have to save us.....again.
