Originally posted by Nick View PostGot a feeling though Les was sort of on board before it went t1ts up.... think he was at the Spurs game with TF. Also in his interview he talks about how at the beginning of the season 'we' hoped to do this 'we' hoped to do that. Sounded like he's been involved for a while or at least in talks..

Just because he is an ex player doesn't mean he is Qualified for the job. Add to that the media team tweeting his best goals, which has nothing to do with his current role and I seriously can't see how this will ever be turned round and really believe Fernandes is the real issue.

re the whole "he knows the club" stuff, Les left for Newcastle 19 years ago now!
I'm 30 and I hadn't even started secondary school when he last played for us. I'd hardly claim any person expertise about my primary school.
Since Les left we've had three relegations, three promotions, about ten different managers, five or six different sets of owners, and totally changed the admin staff a couple of times over. What is he supposed to know, exactly? I get the culture of the club argument, but that is literally it and the culture that Les knew and hopefully loved like we did/do began to die with Paladini, was briefly revived under Warnock/Amit and has been thoroughly killed off by Fernandes/Hughes/Harry.Last edited by Geng; 08-10-2014, 12:57 AM.

Hughes got really lucky when he landed the Stoke job. Pulis had been there for 10 years and turned them from a low Championship club into a mid table Premier League club. Assembling a squad full of internationals and former internationals.
When Mark Hughes had his own building job at QPR he messed up big style. So as I say, he's a very lucky man to follow Pulis.

To be honest, I'm a bit puzzled, what has Les done on the management side of football? sat next to Sherwood and a bit ocoaching at Spurs, but we've had 3 Ferdinand's play for us on;y 1 has been any good and the other 2 have been S**T, thought Anton was fantastic !!!!!!

The fact is Ferdinand was here when we didn't go out and splash the cash on "names" and actually had proper scouts getting gems from the lower leagues and developing them into top class players so in that respect he knows what QPR was all about and hopefully what is needed to go back to that philosophy .
You're correct about Paladini but for me he was the one who killed the club and the rest since have just carried that on.
The next managerial appointment is crucial and if it's Pulis then we will just go back down the route of buy buy buyWe Are The People.....

When Chelsea last had a "director of footballing operations", before Mourinho came back, it wasn't Ruud Gullit, or Kerry Dixon or Zola or whoever, it was this guy: http://www.mikefordeperformance.com/biography

Originally posted by Geng View PostWhat has Ferdinand said or done to suggest he'd be any good at the 'proper scouting and developing' role you're talking about though. People who have excelled in that role have a totally different skillset (that's a polite way of saying Les doesn't strike me as the sharpest in the shed, he never offers any interesting insight into the game). Who had heard of Dan Ashton five years ago? Txiki Beristigian, Michael Emenalo, etc. These guys are professionals doing a very demanding, specialised role.
