It’s absolutely jobs for the boys as it has been in every department at QPR since Nourry joined. It’s not surprising though, when you’re as insecure in yourself as he is you need ‘your’ people to back you up. |

No. They’re going to pay him up in full with a clean break as the club quite rightly doesn’t want him lingering in the background still on the payroll if/when Stephan has a run of a couple of bad results and the twitterati turn on him. |

No, you’ve invented a scenario I never suggested that fits with what you wish were the case, as you regularly do.
As I’ve said countless times since he left, he was never on the shortlist for any jobs that might interest him and so he will *have* to take the summer off, get a chunky payoff and reassess next season now. He could have taken several jobs outside England this summer but he wants to manage in the championship (and ultimately the PL) and didn’t want to leave lots of money on the table for a role outside England. If he isn’t in a role by winter he will have to be realistic and get back in where he can.
The idea that he wouldn’t want to join mid season and manage someone else’s squad is a daft one even from yourself as his career to date has been as a ‘head coach’ with no input on signings and majority of roles taken mid season.
As you keep ignoring for obvious reasons, we can revisit in either 6 months when Stephan has been sacked already, or 12 months when he’s trying to force his way out already and you will, I’m sure, be calling him a cnt for doing so.. |

Once again Ned, even if Cifuentes was on the shortlist for any of the jobs, why would he give up a substantial payoff now that the toxic relationship has turned nuclear?…
And as you’ve already ignored, I’m quite sure Stephan didn’t grow up with QPR duvet covers, so if he gets us a comfortable mid table finish this season his agent will be working the phones like crazy to get him a move just like Cifuentes’ did last summer, so by your criteria the only managers worth appointing are those washed up enough to have QPR as the height of their ambitions |

It’s great news for the club, every club needs as many Dunne’s as they can get.
As I posted back in January, I was told back then that a new contract had been essentially agreed before Sheff came in and understandably turned his head. It was always either renew here or go there and Wilder being booted makes renewing here a much smarter choice. |

He would love I’m sure to have a new role now, but he was never really in the frame for any of them and was never walking away from the thick end of £1m settlement.
If he wanted any job he could’ve taken half a dozen outside England but like lots of up and coming young managers they want to be on the extremely lucrative English football merry go round.
The new guy will be exactly the same too. If he’s half decent he will be looking to move on up asap and if he is crap he will happily take a lucrative payoff. [Post edited 18 Jun 14:07]

Bit of a naive take. MC was going regardless as the relationship was unfixable. Either he went or Nourry & Hoos went which quite right was never going to happen. |

Cifuentes isn’t going to get a role in this round, he will get a chunky payoff and wait for the first round of sackings next season |

If it makes you feel more optimistic, Hoos & Nourry have been trying to raise enough American funds to buy the club from Rubinho. |

I mean City, United, Chelsea were all fine as they engaged with uefa and took action to meet the rules on having two clubs in Europe.
I don’t have much sympathy for Textor when the rules have been known for a long time and their only mitigation is ‘well palace aren’t that good so we didn’t expect Europe’. Don’t own more than one club and you won’t have an issue 🤷🏻♂️ |

It’s a delicate one because Air India have had a sketchy history on maintenance and pilot training but obviously it feels a bit low to try and point the finger so early. |

The 77 & 78 in fairness have been extremely successful and extremely safe planes.
There are so many fail safes and redundancies that it makes me suspect that this is going to be that 1 in a million incident that they couldn’t legislate for, but let’s see.
If it turns out to be an issue with the carrier there will need to be some serious introspection in the airline industry. |

I’m young/old enough to have been going out when Superdry was the red hot thing to have. I always thought it was a bit shite though for the money - two washes and you were wearing a Suprdy tshirt [Post edited 15 Jun 22:00]

The RAT cannot generate enough power to enable engines to be restarted, it only generates enough power to ensure the flight deck retain access to control and navigation systems to allow them to ANC - aviate, navigate, communicate.
If you lost both engines at 36000ft the RAT buys you time to run through your checklists, communicate with ATC and if engines couldn’t be restarted, navigate to a landing spot within gliding distance.
At 200ft, it couldn’t help in any way - all the pilots could do is try and crash in the least devastating location, however if it was a full hydraulics failure, even then they probably couldn’t do even that. |

100% the RAT has deployed so it’s a sudden complete loss of power.
In the ‘second’ video from the airport CCTV you can see that the plane achieves positive rate of climb before suddenly falling so I would rule out the idea of misconfigured takeoff. I would also not take seriously the idea that the PIC adjusted the flaps rather than the landing gear - he was ‘inexperienced’ but will have done thousands of takeoffs in the sims alone, let alone real life and it becomes second nature to you, let alone the controls for flaps and landing gear not being next to each other in the cockpit.
You can see in the ‘first’ video that the front landing gear goes slack and is moving, so my expectation is a sudden catastrophic loss of hydraulics, which seems to be a popular theory on the pilot subreddits too.
*disclaimer, not a CPL but PPL and have been lucky enough to spend some time in 77 & 78 sims via a family member working for a simulator company. |
