There was an article posted on here I think yesterday about JFH and how we are perceived as a club and lack of stability etc. That got me thinking which isn't always a good thing.
I actually think a lot of work has gone into trying to create stability over the last year or two. I personally believe the board have seen where they previously went wrong and are trying to do things the right way. Youth system appalling, will take years to put right, but things put in place. Owners know little about running a club so installed a hungry DOF to assist them on football side of things. Lots done with coaching staff. Working to get training ground through and trying to progress new ground. Board seem largely settled.
Types of players we go for have changed from older mercenaries to hungry younger ones. Still going through that process and suspect a couple of transfer windows away from being where we need to be.
Where it has gone wrong has been managerial appointments but hard to criticise them ignoring the benefit of hindsight. CR extremely well respected coach in the game, was at club already and apparently had the backing of players. A clever guy. Sadly didn't work. JFH, up and coming League 1 boss, great profile in game. Not worked. Doesn't mean everything about QPR is **** frustrating though it is.
Ignoring media hype we have a lot going for us to an incoming manager. Supportive board, lots of work going into infrastructure, club wants to progress and has potential. Granted there will be some who will be nervous of working alongside a DOF but that can actually be seen as an advantage if you get the right mix of personalities and is the norm abroad.
As fans we maybe need to draw a line under the negativity this season, caused at least to a degree by some awfully tedious football, and hope that if we get the right manager in this time that better times could be around the corner.
On the other hand could go horribly wrong again!
