So wtf is he doing with a dof title.
This club are always moving the goalposts when things go wrong.
Now he is a farking adviser.... Give me a break ffs.
The board are all smoke and mirrors, no one wants responsibility for the farkups every season.

Hits, I don't want to slaughter him but he also uttered "moving forward" and "holistic".
If I'd listened to any more of that crap i would've been late for my Empowerment and Inclusivity meeting

I can't see a lot wrong with what he says there.
Unless, you are particularly looking to find fault I guess.

"My role is to advise, my advice isn't always taken. I understand and accept that, we make decisions as a collective" Comments like this just reaffirm what I've suspected for a while. The structure behind the scenes isn't what it should be. Since when has a Director's role been to advise? The clue is in the job title, his role should be to direct. Why does Tony employ Les if his opinion on footballing matters is often ignored or overruled? |

Who picked Jimmy? Or is he trying to deflect that too. JFH was the worst manager we’ve had since Paul Hart.

I'm sure there were some 'read between the lines' in his comments but what they inferred I don't know...
"I want Tim but the majority don't fancy him"?
"Shouldn't have sacked Holloway"??
He did say it was basically a show of hands vote from those in the collective for these sort of matters - the hiring of a manager in particular. That's what I took from the interview anyway

"My role is to advise, my advice isn't always taken. I understand and accept that, we make decisions as a collective" And for that, he gets paid a fat wage to be director of football. They could just phone him up now and then for advice. I think we need Fernandes and all his appointees out of our club ASAP. |

In the way some clubs have a 'fan on the board' and the like, his own description of his role came across as that of an 'ex-pro on the board' rather than an actual DOF. And who can blame him for taking home, what I assume to be, relatively fat wedge for an advisory position |

This is bizarre. In commerce or industry a director undermined and out voted would resign or his/her credibility would be shot. This drives a coach and horses through the DOF theory as far as QPR is concerned. It would be interesting for the unconvinced like me to see what it would work like if we really did have a DOF.

A consultancy / advisory role really...DoF in name only. Doesn't quite add up though because we were always told he's the one that deals with agents and players' salary and contract negotiations....

This thread seems to be justifying the view I’ve always maintained. Without knowing what exactly he is responsible for, it’s hard to make an accurate assessment of how he is performing. We can all have a guess as to what we think being DOF at QPR should mean, but I suspect with the current owners, the reality is somewhat different.😄

We've also always been told he's the one that deals with player signings as an interface between the manager and the board. So if the manager needs a new LB, Les' job is too find one (via the scouts) that falls within the club's budget. |

I mean it can't be the fault every manager that's been here since Tony took over that we've basically underachieved every season. Massively underachieved in all but 1 actually. If Les wants to spill the beans publicly about the inner workings of the club he should expect disgruntled fans to dissect his comments. |

Unless we're reading too much into it: QPR are in the hunt for a new manager. Les is the DoF Ergo TalkSport want to do an interview. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!  Did he fancy using the opportunity to get a couple of things off his chest? Well sure, it's perfectly possible. |
