      I kind of get it. The football at the moment is dire, the knives our out for the manager, yet it's an appropriate time for TF to use the club for a bit of shameless self-promotion?!!

      Personally, it doesn't really bother me that Tony has written an autobiography and is trying to flog it through online store and club shop. I do however think it's a bit daft given the current climate. I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes in Malaysia where Tony is treated like a hero. I definitely don't see too many QPR fans rushing out to buy it.

      I'll probably wait until the end of the season when they are giving away copies for a quid in the end of season sale. I'm intrigued to read it, not cos I'm a TF fan, but to get his take on the last 6 years and what went wrong.

        Is it dire?
        I have enjoyed the home games this season far more than last personally.

          Fair enough, at least there is some heart about the team this season. I just find myself picking holes in the team selections, tactics etc. every week. But then again, I did that every week towards the end of Ollie's last stint here too.

          I suppose it is harsh to call it dire, but it certainly ain't good. And I suspect that this squad of players could be doing a lot better if a better manager was in charge.

          I only typically make it to 4 or 5 games a season, and haven't been back since we spanked Birmingham away. What is the atmosphere like at the moment? Just following from afar, it seems to me that the majority of the fans are starting to turn on Ollie.

            Hard to say really as we haven't had a home game for what seems like forever. And you can't judge anything based on Saturday as the weather was horrendous, we got farkin soaked and if I'd had any in the first place, I reckon I would have lost my hair

              Just seen where you live Tarbie. You do well to make it to 4 or 5 given that!
              I go to all homes and only a few aways a season so I can only speak about the home games this season regarding atmosphere. I would say there is no sign yet of the fans turning on Ollie from where I sit in R Block. However, a couple of big home defeats may change that. I don't think that will happen though. I think we need to win one of these two games coming up but we will do that.

                I'm actually getting to see a lot more games with this new QPR+ service. Basically every game is televised, rather than just relying on extended highlights like previous seasons.

                To be honest, I only just moved down to Cape Town, was in Johannesburg for 18 months before here. It was a lot easier to make it back for games from Dubai where I was for 7 or 8 years before that. Hard work from down here, the flight to the UK is a monster. Will be back for about a month in January or February I think, so will probably get to every game whilst I'm back.

                                I am wondering if it was about Conor being criticized perhaps?
