Warnock couldn't direct traffic.

Love the bloke for what he done with us but he's a football dinosaur & a motivator at best.

Yep, and we only need motivating in a three game 100 million pound shoot out matty.

Eddie Howe. Young. Plays good football. Found Austin and Ings. We would be a step up. No brainer. The big name managers don't suit us, Hughes and now Redknapp have proved this. The day we're not linked with players like Crouch and Kenwyne Jones will be a happy day for me.

To be honest West I'd be disappointed if Howe or Robinson came in. Like I said to Langue, I don't want to be that experimental club for a young up and coming manager who's trying to get to the next level. I want someone in who's been there, who knows the premiership, who knows how to handle the speed of play, the different styles of play and the other pressures that come with the premiership- money, media, expectations etc. Its a much tougher league not only to the lower league's but arguably the toughest in the world.

See for me this is the exact wrong attitude.

Signing players who had been there done that at the highest level has completely failed for us. So why do we think this same approach is the way to go at managerial level?

Surely we want a manager on the rise, someone who sees us as the pinnacle of his career (thus far). Someone for whom whether we get promoted, or whether we finish 18th, 17th, or 8th in the PL, really, massively matters.

I don't think the experience stuff matters too much. Didn't seem to hurt Lambert or Rogers, or even Adkins. I'd much rather someone with experience of contemporary high level training, match preparation, tactics etc than some dinosaur who's been around for years but stopped learning a decade ago (hi Harry)/

hahaha what on earth makes you think Warnock is remotely qualified to be director of football?

[MYU]

Anyone of these...

Glen Hoddle, Roberto Di Matteo, Malky Mackay, Michael Laudrup & Sean Dyche.

I trust Malky with an open chequebook less than Harry!

[stanistheman]

why what is Mackay going to be able to do with an ageing injury depleted squad without a decent fit striker , other than perhaps get to know what players to keep or let go for next season?

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

What's the obsession with Malkay plucking Mackay?!' He's pony. Might as well of kept Warnock.

One good season & spent a fortune on crap at Cardiff. No thanks!!

Precisely this approach has worked for City. We tried the big-name route (Sven-Goran Eriksson - big enough for anyone) and the players with top-level experience, and none of it worked. We got, lost, and got back Nigel Pearson and his team. Took him a while to clear out the crap like Danns, Johnson, Beckford etc and bring in his own people and his own training methods. It's no accident that we are (a) top of the league and (b) have very few training-ground injuries. For me, QPR will need someone of that quality, though it won't be easy to find them.

I think Redknapp has a year left on his contract, but unless he goes of his own accord I can't see Fernandes firing him. Maybe he'll do the decent thing if you don't win the playoffs?
