Who should be our next manager?

[Qprnw10]

Howe would be my first choice with hoddle second.

[Stanley]

Only one way to find out? Can't say he hasn't served his apprenticeship? Wonder what Eddie Howes record looked like before Bournemouth and Burnley?

Who's he discovered though, unlike Howe?

Have no idea tbh but who can you discover being manager of Newport?

[qblockoompah]

Who's he discovered though, unlike Howe?

And also Howe has discovered 1 player, not exactly Wenger is he!

He brought through 3 Players: Austin, Ings and Vokes.

Sorry mate but I couldn't disagree with you any more!!!

The last thing we want to become is a stepping stone for some rookie manager. I've said this before on another thread a while ago. But if we're to get a new manager he needs to be able to handle all the pressures of the "big stage" of the premiership- the fast/physical style of football, premiership players/managers, money, press, agents, different lifestyle etc etc etc

somehow I don't think "only one way to find out" will cut it.

Not a bad trio!

[qblockoompah]

Vokes was discovered before him. And austin was well known at Swindon so hardly discovered. Signed yes, discovered no

A few other promising players at Bournemouth now also, and within a shout of the play-offs on a very restricted budget.

Yes, signed would be more accurate, but he was well aware of them when a player himself for Bournemouth. He did bring through Ings though.

All fair points. And I literally just pulled a name out if the hat. Like most my top 2 would be Howe or hoddle but I just can't see it myself and we won't appoint Edinburgh in a million years just hope to god we don't go for another "name"
The point I'm trying to make is I want the club to be restructured from the bottom up, all teams from under 8s through to the first team all playing "the QPR way". And I want that QPR way to be playing proper football, and stick to it. I want us to give our own a chance. I want us to sign young untried players who just want a chance, ie the austins and ings of the world. And I want the manager be given the chance to do it his way eve if it takes 5 years. I want them to do a fergie. I want us to stop being hated one thing I loved as a kid is when told people who I supported people said ah fair play son I've always loved rangers. Instead of oh dear you've blown all that dough and you're awful

....and Howe actually tried to sign Austin when he was at Poole, before Swindon took him, but was unable to due to a transfer embargo.

Haha hands up you've done me. Genuinely think Howe would be our best signing in years. And if we went up with him he wouldn't be after the names we would get solid players like the Bradley Johnsons of this world IMO, would have him over Granero/Benayoun/Kranjcar every day of the week

[qblockoompah]

Wonder if Bournemouth would do a swap for HR?

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Would be great in the ccc not PL though.

So if we don't go up could be a blessing in disguise if we went for him. Would be refreshing getting a young vibrant manager as opposed to the dinosaurs we've employed in recent years bar Warnock.
