bring back gerry

[rblockells]

It would be a chance for Gianni Paladini to really prove to the fans how much he loves QPR by stepping down as Sporting Director and accepting a role as Club President and allowing Gerry Francis to take over the running of all football related matters.


Come on-prove it to us...

Why not have a petition ?? If the various fans groups, websites + fanzine can agree on one - Well bang goes that idea !! and if the club ignore it, well, AFC Rangers + stick your season tkt/match day money into a fund and form our own club, coz the one we had would have gone - We could get some bloody good players based on how much people are spending on season + match day kts

GF is one of a very limited minority of ex QPR managers who have a rapport with the fans because he IS a fan.I list John Gregory and Gordon Jago as others.GF personally looked up my phone number and rang me over the debacle of the extra 9 mins the ref played on the night we were leading Man Utd 1-0 only for Cantona to equalise in the 99th minute when there were no stopages or injuries in the second half.This was in response to a fax I had sent congatulating the team on a great display and bemoaning the extra minutes and asking how the ref could justify his decision to extend the game for so long.I've got a lot of time for Gerry just based on this one action alone.

He was manager of Spurs then, so that is real fan dedication.

I'm always surprised GF came back into the game, given he owns half of Bagshot and has numerous other interests and a young-ish family. Still, if it's in your bones, it's in your bones.

Ray Harford was a huge football fan but left a whole pile of sh.ite to deal with by Chris Wright, Rioch and Houston. Anyone attending any of the Fan Forum events Harford attended will know exactly what a fantastic football person he was.

Check again - GF was definitely manager of QPR that infamous night of the extra 9 minutes.

It was Ray Wilkins. It was a saturday afternoon in 1996.

GF was at Spurs.

He did a lot of great work for Stoke last year and has forgot more than the chuckle brothers who we have here at the minute. A QPR legend who has qpr blood running through his body, and who knows where we might be now if the pathetic stupid board had not tried to go behind Gerry's back all those years ago. We played the best football under Gerry since 75/76 and those who slated him 2nd time around, no manager on the planet could have done anything with the garbage that he had to work with, with no money what so ever to spend. It would be great to see Gerry back here but doubt it very very much:very_sad::very_sad:

With Gerry running the football side of things, it would bring some street cred back to the club, instead of being a laughing stock.

A respected man throughout football in this country .........BRING IT ON.

[THE FLYING COW]

well

well once a week i dream of gerry returning,and it could happen but every messageboard would have to unite then next season no season tickets will be renewed untill the re enlistment of the boy wonder
but we need to unite and stop all this silly squabling
YOUVE HEARD OF THE MAN WITH THE MAGIC WALLET WELL WE WANT THE MAN WITH THE MAGIC MULLET

Yep, that's pretty much it.

I'd still rather we didn't bother with that layer of management at all though, and spend the money saved on paying a Sporting Director and a management duo... on a top proven manager.
Spurs finally realised that last season.

But if they insist on the current set-up, then Gerry would be ideal.
To restore some trust and credibility at least.

I have to add that it is nothing personal against Gianni... he has his qualities, and they can be used elsewhere within the club.

(No, not as a waiter in C Club. Before anyone says it.)

[THE FLYING COW]

yeah

yeah lets get a petision to re instate him next season that would be the start of a new era
i bet he hits the top six in his first season

Sorry dude - Season 1995/1996 - Wilkins was manager. Dichio/Irwin og for us (depending on your view) Cantona header in 6th minute of stoppage time. Remember it as clear as day as the little kid next to me burst into tears.

Francis left in November 1994 after the Thompson/Marsh ferrango and was managing Spurs.

Sorry - I hold my hands up.57 years of all things QPR has adulled my brain and shot to shreads my street cred.I shall never be the same having given such misleading information.My memory is not what it was - am I forgiven ??

[stainrodisalegend]

gee mate you are forgiven - but only if you dip into your pockets for those £4m big ones to buy a certain division one striker...

LOL mate.Thats one thing I do remember as it was only a few weeks ago.GP definitely said he would get the guy you're talking about if I gave him £4m, a quote he has since denied,like the porkies surrounding the "gun to the head" saga and the £1m offer he made for Hooper.

[THE FLYING COW]

your

your forgiven as i am 54 years of age and my brain has also started to play tricks on me
i actually thought that gianni would bring in venables or francis this year
