    At different times under TF - and in no particular order - Rodgers, Silva, Martinez, Flores, Bilic, Villas Boas, Clement and Montella have all been available and suggested here as realistic targets: eg when Ramsey was appointed we were still EPL with a chance of staying up (even though Harry was allowed to fester and should have gone much sooner). Swansea are struggling right now but for me they still look more organised under Clement than they were before. Slaven has struggled too but like us WHU have boardroom issues and the move from Upton Park was always going to be tough. The fact is we are unable to make quality management choices. It used to be simple incompetence, but now the reactionary fiscal policy in situ means that no credible candidate would come here: peanuts / monkey syndrome. And then of course we're embedded with dear old Les, not a selling point when it comes to attracting decent management. Halfassed nonsense like JFH and Ollie just illustrate the point.

    If I'd chucked over a quarter of a billion down the khazi but wanted to retain an interest the one thing I would do is employ someone credible to run the show, and give him the option re Les. For me Ramsey, JFH and Ollie lack credibility for different reasons. Put it this way - if we really had approached quality managers and been turned down, we should have asked ourselves a long while ago why they weren't interested, sorted that out and made another serious approach to the same calibre of manager.

    All the ones on my list are now in work and doing well, although like I say its been difficult for Bilic and PC. But every single one of them would imo have been preferable to at least our last three appointments. We're stuck with Ollie for better or worse, and given that and the quality of playing staff mid table is respectable. But for the money spent it should have been so much better.
    I do agree with a lot of what you're saying, especially about LF's restricting who might be interested in the job however I am more willing to give Ollie some time, he hasn't done a great job but he also doesn't have a lot to work with yet and maybe won't have depending on fiscal restraints, I think he's a better option than Ramsey and JFH!

      Question, what is so special about QPR that so many think the DOF role should be binned??? The role makes sense and even the mighty Arsenal are looking to bring Overmars in to do it there

            Not as many as previous seasons IMO.

                that`s true, but I would still guess he will be shifting 3 or 4.

                  Yes, it's more about shifting the deadwood.

                  We have the basis of a good squad but just need a striker, CB, possibly a RB or another CM.

                      Do you think we can survive?
                      Or do you think its a lost cause by now?

                        Forget Leicester last year as this will be the biggest football miracle of all time if we manage to stay up.

                            We've been a lost cause since a totally clueless buisness man whose fortune stemmed from state subsidy took over the club.

                            Mathematically relegation is still possible meaning that Ollie is either totally complacent or a complete buffoon. Your choice.

                              The Forest match could actually be important for us to stay up obviously depending on other results Saturday, looking at all the fixtures of teams behind us we aren't just safe yet, most teams play 2 of their last 3 at home and many are playing teams with nothing to play for! Am I being a Drama Queen?

                                We'd have to bring in about 37 players in order to end up with 3 or 4 good 'uns. We are inept at getting good players - most of our signings are somewhere on the "poor to average" scale.

                                It's ridiculous I'm still paying attention to Blackburn's results...... if they beat two of Wolves, Villa and Brentford we could be in the brown stuff. I do realise Rovers are really duff but they did the double over us so it's not in the realms of impossibility they'll win one of next two and ramp the pressure up on us. Yep, it's still well in our hands but it's been in our hands for weeks but we're not actually capitalising on that fact.
