Forget Sousa and De Canio...

the last straw for Briatore was a 0-0 draw at Swansea, who played for an hour with a defender in goal and QPR failing to even have 1 shot on target.

agree. i think flav might have put up with the minor irritances and growing pains for a while were it not for this game in particular.

it was a battle of wills between Dowie and FB. FB was fairly new to the game and brought in players De carmine and Parejo. He wanted them played simple as that. Dowie did not think they were good enough, but was told to accomodate them

Looking back, it really is depressing to read that.

Sums it all up really... nice and neatly in that single paragraph.
How anyone can defend that decision is totally beyond me.


Laughable.
