Lee Hoos appointed CEO

[SuperHoopNik]

53 year old American. Got him from Burnley. He's also worked at Fulham, Leicester and Southampton in the past.

hmmm... ex burnley, leicester, southampton and, er, foolham.

fits with the supposed plan, i guess.

[West Acton]

So QPR appoint CEO who has previous experience of running football clubs (plus four clubs which have a reputation of being well run) and at Fulham and Southampton good youth set ups and Burnley running the club with what it can afford not more...... seems good appointment on face of it

No doubt moaners will find some angle to find a complaint about this and dig out TF etc

[Brian Wilson]

Hoos he?

[Fraggy]

Hoos he?

Looks happy.

[upperloft]

Looks happy.

Give him a few months a LR I'm sure he won't be smiling.

[Greg1882]

All we've got to do is insert a p into his surname and were sorted

[acricketer]

Poohs?

Leicester fan here.

Hoos was here when Mandaric owned the club, Pearson famously detested the bloke and he was one of the reasons he was happy to walk out and go to Hull. We never got the full gory details of what went on, but a lot of stuff that leaked was about botched transfers and the like. With ex players and staff around the club voicing their dislike of Hoos when he went.

I think one famous example was us being due to get Tom Cleverley back on loan from united after his first loan spell here. The talk was that the deal was all set to go and Hoos decided to try and strong arm united, making out we were doing them a favour and shouldn't be paying them a £50k loan fee.... the phone got put down and Cleverley was sent to Watford instead, with Pearson clearly being furious.

Burnley fans also aren't particularly keen on him... again stating transfer failings and the like.

Now that sounds more like someone QPR would hire

[RoryTheRanger]

He was also the CEO of Southampton back when they were a shambles and has no bearing on the club they are in now. In fact they went into administration when he was in charge there.

[Fordy]

Apparently he's really bad at getting signings over the line. Burnley fans are well happy he's gone.

[West Acton]

Hopefully signings are done by Les

[Rangersw12]

His job for us will be similar to what it was at Fulham i.e putting an infrastructure in place

Signings will be dealt with by Les
