Reply | The QPR summer managers rumours thread
at 17:00 18 Jun 2025
Well apologies for liking a QPR manager that in my eyes did an excellent job with a terrible squad. "The worst QPR squad ever" - is I believe what Dave Mc called it.
Look - if Nourry has picked right and Stephan leads us to top half at Christmas I will come on here and say - you were right, Marti wasn't all that.
But if we are deep in the mire by then...perhaps the MC love-in was actually well founded?
I guess the point is...we shall see. [Post edited 18 Jun 17:01]

AND Nourry actually speaks in plain English about him in the press release. Nothing about his ability to transgress from the #6 to the #2 around the essential ball release zones in Level 2.
Just "blood, sweat and tears". :-) |

Yes fair play all round. Great news in my opinion, a tick for Nourry there from me. |

It's OK I am sure Nourry's PR company will be spreading the good word across the whole football world.
I remain appalled by the owners committing to Nourry over Marti. I blame them the most. Get involved, for lord's sake. Get to the club during the season on non match days, see what is happening. Do something. Do anything apart from tweeting once every three months when we win. Talk to us. Give us a plan. Do an interview. Hello? Hello?
I see Plymouth are getting taken over by some consortium. It can be done, and whatever our cash flow disasters surely we are just as attractive as them. |

Absolutely, totally embarrassing. I don't think it is particularly bright of the club to set this up for that reason alone, plus losing a pre season friendly to them 6-0 or whatever, just highlights how low we have sunk and how clueless we are.
Let's hope it is a "full circle" thought, rather than any other shape - we will at least be going around again. Dream on. |

Farage wasn't a helicopter. Greene and Smith was 1988 and I think trees saved them. But you know what I mean....little chance, not no chance. |

Hate helicopters, as Clive says one of the few modes of transport where if you crash there is literally no chance of survival. My father was a good friend of Matthew Harding, despite the (much keener then) Chelsea rivalry, and he never took a helicopter after that, having done so quite a lot beforehand. I went on one once, never again. |

Well that is undoubtedly true, a real shame. Having watched him bowl recently he still looks quick but just not quite with the same venom. |

How has Archer been mishandled? Aside from bowling him into the ground in that Test to cause the long-standing elbow injury, I reckon they've treated him with absolute kid gloves in a way that has not been afforded to many other players? Contracts, support...everything. Inevitably, not sure that will be rewarded as he is bound to be not as good as he was. |

Little chance of getting them out sadly. Wood and Archer will no doubt not be fully fit, leaving Atkinson who will be struggling to be effective out there I suspect and Carse perhaps the only promising option left. Woakes will no doubt be given yet another go to prove he can't bowl out there. Leaves Bashir who whilst you can't argue with his stats at such a young age, but you would have to fear for him.
It is annoying as the Oz batting is weaker than it has been for ages; although the bowling still formidable of course. At some point age will catch up with them and an injury to one or two of their big four would change things a lot as their only proven back up is Boland and although he is better than anything we've got he's getting on as well.
Our best chance will be in four years time - no Lyon, Starc, Hazlewood and possibly Cummins and their youngsters aren't looking amazing. Then again, we will have no Stokes and possibly Root which doesn't bear thinking about. |

Oh yeah, that was awful when they started getting "real" celebrities. Bob Wilson was bad enough but then the Kemp brothers. I know why they did it, but compared to the rich characters like Guthrie and Gray and all the others - a real shame.
You can follow the guy on Twitter who did some of the work - Barrie Tomlison or something, fascinating. |

Absolutely loved Roy of the Rovers. Always had the xenophobia in the summer when they would go on foreign tours and face despicable cheating foreigners with big moustaches. Then half the side got blown up by a terrorist bomb when abroad too, in some Dangerous Place - RIP Vic Guthrie.
Even Roy of the Rovers wouldn't be appropriate now! |

I suppose all keepers have one worldie in them, even Roberts. I even remember Lee Harper saving a penalty in a second leg cup tie at Charlton once. You knew he would because we were already about 4 goals behind and it was totally pointless. Total waste of his one penalty save.
At least that Judas Seaman save in the cup semi final when it was behind him is not being mentioned. Always thought it was overrated, he was slow to move which is why it was behind him (being 57 at the time) and the ball was going incredibly slowly. Not that I bear him a very long-standing grudge, of course. |

Reply | Would you want the club to re instate Marti Cifuentes ??
at 22:49 4 Jun 2025
I have absolutely zero inside knowledge, I can only say what I see and feel as a fan. I remain totally uncomfortable with Nourry's appointment. I disagree vehemently with his pushing out of Cifuentes, I disagree with his approach to not reveal contract lengths. I like what he is saying about the women's team so far (tentatively) and going for young signings through the DS looks good to me. I have no idea what his involvement was with Celar and Madsen, two terrible signings, or his role in the excellent signings of Varane, Morrison and Edwards.
I abhor his drivel-speak in press releases, and that he seems to be trying to influence social media and boards.
Overall - I think he's a bit of a prat, out of his depth, and as that is based on no claim of insider knowledge, I hope you agree I am allowed to have that opinion. [Post edited 4 Jun 22:50]

Very true, and if you are running a business and you hire an agency to do some consultancy on a new hire / new project - then, as many agencies will do, they recommend themselves....you laugh loudly, say "nice try" and ask them to focus on the job in hand. |

Ha! It is how the standards have fallen at QPR, over many years. Now the fans are happy to put up with an appalling home record, a consultant recommending himself for the top job and even give kudos to players because they are "usually available".
Watching that Joel Lynch thing just brings it all home recently. We're being taken for mugs.
Ah, but the owners loan us money each month to keep us going. I still can't believe it is beyond the realms of possibility that someone could invest who actually cares about running the club, wants to be present at all times and could just buy a small share of it (a la Parrish and his 10% of Palace).
So poor, so frustrating. |

Born in Queen Charlotte's, lived as a child close enough to walk to the games. Dad opening the sunroof to punch the air when on holiday in Scotland and Clive Allen scored to put us in the cup final. The pride of outplaying Spurs in the replay, but having no luck.
Totally smitten from that point on, everything always QPR. Going home, and occasionally away, with Dad with that excellent mid-late eighties early nineties period. The West Ham cup tie at home. Gary Bannister, of course. Super Ray, Les, Tricky Trev. Then going with mates home and always away during the complete rubbish that came after that.
Then having a son and watching him become just as nuts about it as I am. Seeing Dad grinning from ear to ear at Wembley after Bobby Z '89. Dad's final top he wore being blue and white hoops.
The ecstasy of Luton away with my boy last season, the last before he went to Uni. Missing him like crazy but still going to games. Loving having him back during the holidays.
Family + friends = what QPR is all about for me. |
