Good, detail oriented coaching.
The difference between this and when they had Ainsworth mic'd up is quite a lot... |

You can be suffering from mental health problems and still be an arseh*le.
It's not mutually exclusive. |

My mate has ~4 QPR linked support accounts, each of which have at various times had a season ticket or membership.
So, when buying him a ticket I often just have to randomly pick one of the linked accounts.
He has asked whether he should try and get them linked - and I have always told him no for this very reason. |

As long as you're using the same sign in, then it should be in your calendar.
You may have to tick the box in Google Calendar to select the QPR fixtures, as when you sync to a calendar, it creates a separate sub-calendar so you can create different views. |

How do work permits work for Australians?
Assuming their division isn't ranked all the highly?
But, also, assume we aren't using up one of our exemptions on a backup right back? |

To get this team from where it was under Ainsworth, to where it has been in some performances was some achievement. The Leeds result and performance being in the same season as us vs WBA under Ainsworth doesn't seem to make sense.
He gave the players and us some belief and dignity back.
He always seemed to speak publically with dignity, and he never talked the club down. One of the best managers we've had in a good long while in my opinion.
I'll follow his career with fondness, because he seemed like a very decent bloke.
Don't blame him for looking for another job - doesn't sound like he had a good relationship with Nourry, and I don't think any of the people on here believing that he's a "snake" or what have you would have done anything different in his position.
Obviously, fully behind the new manager, and he seems like a bit of a coup, but I will miss Cifuentes and will always be grateful to him. |

Depends. With a release clause you can have lots of stuff in it, like it all being needed to pay up front, or the number of instalments it needs to be in.
Arsenal are paying more for that Zubimendi fella because they're spreading the fee out longer than the release clause stipulates.
We could have a release clause of 7 million, but they're offering it over a few years.
If he has a release clause, his agent would likely be telling teams it if Varane is interested.
I know that's what I'd be doing if I was in his situation.
Equally, he might be really happy and have had some good discussions with the new manager!
Just good to see our players have top level continental interest. Going on the right direction.
Should have plans to reinvest if we do have to sell |

Fair play, out of interest, what are these analytics categories?
I'm a loser and I'd actually enjoy an analytics based article about our own team over the past season... |

Interesting why he's getting so many bids from such different clubs.
Usually suggests an active agent or club trying to sell.
Got to assume the former in this case? |

Reply | Ben Williams announcement?
at 12:19 20 Jun 2025
Don't see how Ben Williams, who actually went and got another job, and clearly has ambitions that extend well beyond the little old stepping stone of QPR, being welcomed back after failing at his two jobs with a fanfare is at all a good thing.
It's very, very tinpot.
And also a lose lose situation surely for Nourry? If we have no injuries then surely it's I told you so? If we have a lot of injuries, then surely it's a bad decision to give him a big role?
Just odd in my opinion. |

It kind of depends.
There's apparently usually a clause where you'll get a years salary to cancel the contract. But, it depends what has been negotiated. Think top level managers tend to have compensation clauses in, or get their full contact paid up. Lower level managers will accept lesser terms.
In Italy it's normal to just tell the manager he's no longer on charge but continue to pay them their contract, which is why you'll often see a manager be employed again by the same club after getting sacked, because they're already on the payroll.
Think Graham Potter was getting paid by Chelsea up until he took the West Ham job. |

I think at one point they worked out that defenders were under priced in the market (or something) so went big on them as they believed they would have a lot more resale value later on.
Seemed to work as they sold a few for fairly decent money (Ben White etc.)
Maybe they've identified keepers in the same vein.
I also read somewhere that they looked at testing out renting out their analytics systems to other teams, and used Ipswich as a test house when they were in League One? And they had to stop doing that when Ipswich made it to the Premier League? |

Based on the articles shared he played two up top with a back 3 that turned into a back 5 without the ball.
Considering we currently don't appear to have any fullbacks, that's an interesting prospect.
I note these comments from the Guardian that I present without comment.
"It demonstrates a lack of clarity that has highlighted Stéphan’s inability to get the best out of a poorly constructed squad."
"It is not only that lack of experience but the volume of players arriving and departing – roughly 10 in each direction this summer. With many of them being asked to quickly take up key roles, in a team with unsettled tactics and personnel, it has simply a bridge too far for many of them. The failure in changing systems and personnel must lie at the feet of Stéphan. The manager has been dealt a bad hand, but his time is running out to fix things." |
