I think a lot of people have forgotten how poor we really were in the Championship. Nothing and No-one would have kept us up last season (IMO) and we are back at the level we can consistently compete at.

Boring yes, but not poor.
Had Phillips and Austin not got injured QPR would have finished 2nd.

[stanistheman]

We were indeed very poor. How we got to the play offs I have no idea. Recruitment wise some not bad players but hopelessly unbalanced squad with exposed defence and really just Charlie up top.

For me board made mistakes but main person to blame was wise old 'Arry.

Anyway new plan, new management team, lets see what they can do.

i agree redkrapp was to blame. However I disagree with Shepherds Mush about nobody being able to keep QPR. That is baloney at best.

phillips was wasted by Redkrapp. Had he been playing in Nov Dec and Jan QPR would have won more points without any doubt whatsoever.
pulis also knows abput organisi g a defence. There is no way Caulker Dunne Onuoha Ferdinand Isla Hill yun would have been ad poor or inconsistant under his managememt. How many on here thought he could have got Palace to keep the clean sheets they did with the defenders he inherited?

Have to agree totally. All in the past now, let's look (hopefully) to a bright future

Nightmare for sandcastles Brights

Yes, but good for stuff to throw at our youth team coach.

[Shepherds Mush]

Much of last season could have been avoided had Fernandes had the sense to sack Redkrapp in October. November or December.

Pulis would have kept QPR up as he did WBA and Palace last season (the latter had a team much worse than QPR's yet ended up comfortably in mid table).

I'm sure you have seen us relegated plenty of times, like many of us.

I have seen us promoted at least as many though. All about perspective and a positive outlook.

How long have Middlesboro, Ipswich, Birmingham, Sheffield Weds, Forest etc been trying to get back to the Premiership? 2 or 3 seasons huh.

In the end they got extremely lucky last season, but the hard work had been done by signing players who had been there and done it before like Simpson, Dunne, Barton, Henry, O'Neil, and of course potential match winners like Krancjar, and Phillips along with a natural goal scorer and then the inspirational loan signing of Morrison when the latter 2 suffered long term injuries.

So far the signings made appear nothing more than a hopeful gamble. I have seen enough relegations in my time to know just how difficult the future will be.

Do us all a favour mate, STFU!!

[stanistheman]

Don't think any of us want that. Having said that, I would much prefer two or three if it means we can compete properly thereafter in the top division, rather than repeats of the last three years we spent in it. Absolutely embarrassing, shameful and horrible seasons.

I am not looking forward to this season or spending the next 4 or 5 seasons at this level.

Blimey, it's like Marvin the paranoid android has morphed into a QPR fan. We've been relegated. We are cutting our cloth to suit. We are inevitably selling our most wanted players. All this is simply how it is, and certainly nothing to get depressed or stressed about. Personally I think the club is finally going about things in the right way, after nearly 4 seasons of doing it the wrong way. And this is a reason to be cheerful, not to wail and moan endlessly about it. Some people must actually be addicted to seeing the glass half empty. The reality of course, is that a glass can always be refilled.
