Mark Warburton joins QPR

Chris Ramsey won a league out in the States. 😂

I guess only time will tell, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. 👍

Have we ever had a manager that has won a proper league though hits ?

I mean, it's a fair question Gen 😂

This is a Qpr first is it not a league winner before they arrive

Terry Venables won the Spanish league after leaving us for Barca.

Yes Venners did but he wasn't a champion before he arrived 73 was he mate

nPower Championship

macca won the dutch league and league cup

We just need bit of calm and someone stable and reliable next few seasons so we can settle team/squad next two three seasons given spending restrictions.

I’m no expecting promotion or play offs just middle table finish and little bit of progress each season will do me

Not overly excited but will back him. Think we could have waited another month or so and maybe looked for a foreign coach. Most of us on here could manage Rangers to the scot championship title and the stats at Forest don't look good.

He actually won the double mate. The Scottish Championship and the League Challenge Cup (only open to teams outside of the top flight). But he won both these competitions with the 2nd highest budget in the country behind Celtic. It's no exaggeration to say that pretty much any Championship standard manager could have done the same thing. Warburton never endeared himself to the Rangers fans (but he wouldn't be the first Englishman to go up there and not be afforded much patience).

More telling is what the Forest fans think of him, and the thing I hear time and time again is that he had no Plan B, and didn't get the best out of the players he had. To be fair though, he really wasn't given that much time and had to work with a squad of players that were on the most part signed by previous managers. 

I'm hoping it'll be a different story here. He has inherited a decent group of young players, and he has 5 or 6 key positions in the first team to fill. As such, he should be able to put together a team that is to his liking from day one. 

On what basis?

How does that even work?  For once, especially given the fact that JE is staying, it looks as though sense has prevailed. Also MW wont take shit from Les.

I can't even remember how many good foreign coaches have been realistically available at the many different times we've been looking for managers, including as an EPL side, I highlighted most of em on WATRB and many - like Da Silva - have gone on to have decent careers in this country. However, it was became clear to me that once Les was in situ nothing like that was going to happen.
 
We're a championship club now under restrictive conditions and Warburton fits the bill as well as anyone, here or abroad. He's keen on development, his stats at this level are good, and he wont take shit from Les. Tbh I'm really surprised he came at all.  Another plus is that Eustace stays and I've been impressed by the way he's handled himself in difficult circs. Furthermore, we can't be certain that this time we didn't look at foreign managers (ie Almeda).

I can see both sides of this, believe, but I reckon we've actually made a decent call.

Our budget would be a problem for a foreign manager. That is why Warburton and his knowledge when it comes to local players in and outside the London area would be perfect for us at this stage, when we actually have been quite close to being relegated. And to my knowledge, he will also bring a very respected Arsenal coach with him. That seems excting to me. And also, the fact that JE will be his assistant is another plus. Eustace should now know the players and the club good enough to actually have a say on how the club has to be run if want to move forward, I feel.
