Norwich 4 QPR 0 (6/4/19. 26,796)

I'm keeping away from the whole thing. Can't be arsed watching it or hearing about us taking that inevitable slaughtering. I'd love to be wrong, I doubt I will be.
In short, after how this year has gone so far, fuck em.

Any streams please post em up.

acricketer often gets some good ones...

Angel for captain next season?

We want to go through a season with Furlong at right back? 2 players we should try to keep as we need experience Cameron and Rangel

Ain't gonna happen, but I will LOVE it if we beat them, LOVE IT!

I, being of Sound Mind, do hereby declare that Today's EFL Championship Fixture between Queens Park Rangers Football Club and Norwich City Football Club will Result in a 2 goals to nil scoreline in favour of Queens Park Rangers Football Club.

I'm not sure I'd go with a manager from Europe at present. The benefit of a manager from Europe is some fresh ideas and access to players from the continent that a British manager may not have considered.

With Brexit looming, is that a smart idea? Imagine if there are immigration issues borne from Brexit at the same time as the transfer window, and we're stuck with a manager that doesn't know any English transfer targets?

For me, the next manager must have an idea of realistically priced transfer targets from the Football League.

100% disagree Tarbie about not wanting a coach from abroad, For me it is exactly where we should look as these guys pick up gems for far less than EFL teams want for their better players. They also make players better as their coaching is clearly ahead than the English guys at our level. After all the shit that this board have brought in as coach/manager it is time to accept that the recycled crap that is out there is not for us.

Bloody hell mate, I'd hope they would be thinking about it.

I do a fair bit if recruitment for London based clients, and I promise you, they've been considering it for over a year now. At the moment I'm not seeing anyone hire EU nationals that aren't already living in the UK, just in case the immigration laws change before they can get them started!

But this is my point mate. None of us know if there will still be free movement of EU nationals by the time the transfer window opens. And if there isn't free movement, nobody has any idea what the work permit situation will be. It would a huge risk to plan our whole transfer policy around picking up players from the continent.

No bigger risk than given a washed up continually sacked coach coming in.

And if Ainsworth is the choice then look who he has up front which will give you a very good idea of style of play which was a problem for the two managers before McClaren.

Mate, I don't disagree that the brand of football that Ainsworth plays at Wycombe is a little uninspiring, but you do need to bear a few things in mind. They are currently playing with one of the smallest, if not the smallest budget in League 1. I also heard somewhere that he actually got Wycombe promoted on the 4th smallest budget in League 2. 

This is the primary reason I think he is worth considering. He is accustomed to running sides on a shoe string and finding a way to win. That is in essence what we need at the moment. Yeah, I'd prefer to be playing flowing football with some of the best players in the league and a real chance of promotion, but is that really realistic for us anymore? 

The new manager will most likely be seeing a number of senior pro's leave in Lynch, Bidwell, Pav, Rangel, Cameron, Wells & Hemed. He will need to rebuild with free transfers, loans and cheaper signings from wherever he can find them. He will also need to integrate these new signings with the likes of Smyth, Chair, Furlong etc. For me, this isn't a job for someone like Sherwood, and it wouldn't have been a job to give McClaren either. We need a manager than knows the football league, and is accustomed to operating on a very small budget. 

Same here Tarbs.
