A question for #OllieOut brigade

[davieqpr]

Surely Sky or BT have got some more has- beens lurking about.

Stick with Wollie and real risk is we will be looking for a manager to get us back to the Championship next season. Look at his record since coming back. Pretty much relegation form. Finding it difficult to see how we could do much worse.

Agreed, and his record since coming back is relegation form.

Grayson or Karanka would imo do a better job than Hollowhead.

As for those blaming the players, yes blame the likes of Mackie and Washington for their lack of goals and good attacking play, but it is nonsense to blame the squad that at not being selected to play to their strengths. The likes of Sylla and Smith need wingers like Wyzsolek to provide the crosses into the box.

There were 6 wingers in the squad plus Freeman who is capable of playing the role, but how many times have they started games in their positions with those 2 strikers as their targets? The squad is geared for a 4-4-2 system.

As Hal says, there are plenty of managers out there who could at least be tempted to come to QPR on a short term deal if that is what they ask for, but sticking with Hollowhead could be a disaster that sees him taking QPR back to the third tier again.

Really wouldn’t want Pulis and Gerry’s had his day, sadly.

Kind of for fun look at who is available (and almost available). And this is only a tiny %.

Many of these wouldn't come anywhere near us, but if we were prepared to offer a degree of control and a realistic transfer policy, then some of them might pop by for a chinwag.

Montela, Koeman, Guidolin, Ismael (young manager sacked by Wolfsburg but has a very decent ppm record) Bilic, Enrique, Pulis, Nigel Pearson*, Tuschel, Garcia, Jens Keller, Blanc, de Boer, Carrillo.... and that is just a sample. All the above bar Pulis have a PPM of >1.6. The problem with PPM is factoring in quality of opposition, but I reckon most of that lot could handle themselves at championship level at least.

* = under contract abroad

Finally young Graham Potter looks like he could be one for the future. Anyone who says quality gaffers are thin on the ground is simply wrong. The problem is that QPR are thin on the ground, but we must start getting appointments right.

Karanka would possibly be the worst appointment this football club has made and yes he really is that bad fact

Don't particularly have a view on Karanka but virtually anything would be an improvement on what we have. I'd take a garden gnome dressed in a tracksuit.

[WeAreQPR12]

Significantly better stats than Wollie. Would surely be a massive upgrade?

A few months? I'd give it 2 games max before the hashtags and nicknames start

Its obvious who the next so called manager will be its got to be Timmy Ferdinands mate and he is desperate

Not even I could see a positive if that happened. I'll be firmly in the #timmyout camp from day 1 unless he sends us on a winning streak and has us competing again...

[dogsrrs]

Now that GF has left WBA Ollie needs help and should get him up at sipson

There are plenty of candidates.

The big problem is who would actually come. I think we could do a lot worse than Nigel Pearson, good record here and abroad, sorts out a decent system, good signings record, wants to come back, but I just couldn't see him working under Les. Same applies re Pulis. Why would anyone with a decent record get into bed with an unproven dof under a chairman whose record is woeful, for all his enthusiasm?

Ollie was desperate to redeem his managerial reputation, fair play, but the appointment was made for all the wrong reasons. Sentiment wins nothing. Be very interesting to find out who was rejected in favour of Ollie, could be that decent candidates weren't falling over themselves to get here. That still doesn't excuse the appointment. They'd have done better to wait until someone worthwhile could be enticed.

A big point people miss in all this is that managers have to earn respect, and Ollie's achievements in recent years don't exactly demand that. But without it, the dressing room goes, and as we know once that happens its all over. Warnock had respect, but I wouldn't blame him if he never bothered coming here again, even as an away manager.

I would love to know Holloway’s first choice 11 if everyone was fit, not sure he even knows it or what formation we would play, I personally think a top number 2 would be a better move atm, Francis or Mc Claren would do me

[Ginger Ninja]

Seriously can’t believe people are saying Pulis. As mentioned on a previous thread a few weeks ago he would never come here due to the massive drop in salary and, even if he did, I would love to see this forum after a few months of drossball.

Graham Alexander or Simon Grayson
