Paulo Sousa : Four Year Plan shows my job at QPR was impossible

[Hertford Hoop]

And there lies the truth

Truth ...now there's a strange word on message boards

[MKPaul]

Paulo Sousa had plenty of opportunity to single me out

Flavio could have said that "fat bloke Pete" has made my mind up

It was simply messageboarders who had a great incentive to fire some bullets and see if they stuck. In particular the ones I had given a hard time to previously.

FSPete, I dont think you had the power to get rid of the manger, but I am sure your doing Gianni's bidding on a website helped his agenda that strangley became yours. This was the website the leak was on and the one it was left up on ... and the one that tried to change fans opinions at the time and failed .. but the leaving the post up long enough was job done and whatever bonus you got .. surely wasnt worth someones job was it?

And talking of Gianni .. wasnt he slagging Sousa off to Flavio .. and then goes down to Sousa as says Flavio called him and had heard ... blah blah blah ... not I told him ... you definatley backed a wrong un there ... and thats why so many QPR fans see you as a wrong un

Please stop trying to circle round what you did for uncle gianni .. most people would be more impressed if you held you hands up and admitted you we with a wrong un ... but now you see ... we all make mistakes

[MKPaul]

He may well of done though I doubt it but as you and both agree it did not attract many followers to get rid of Sousa if any did it?

It amazes me that some who slate Pete so much still believe he had it within his power to influence the sacking of a Championship Football Manager

Isleworth, i do not think anyone thinks FSP had any influence on teh sacking ... what he did was carry out his masters work to suit the agenda .. left the info up that got Sousa teh sack ... and then tried to get support for uncle and Flavio

FFS PAUL.

You saw the film, the board were not happy with Sousa. Doesn;'t matter two hoots if I was or not.

Problem is you are giving an opinion and trying to influence views, with no factual evidence.

Its your opinion and it should not be confused with the facts.

MKPAUL having travelled up and down the country to watch us play for draws, I am entitled like the next fan to give an opinion.

[MKPaul]

ok if this is the line ... ill leave it there

[haqpr1963]

But you and a few followers did get a free season ticket for getting rid of Sousa didnt you?

It must be true because I have read it on another site

Why do you always bring up other sites?

Why not bring it up on the sites rather than here? If you read something in the Times would you complain to the editor of the Mirror????

[ollyhoops]

You can't simply blame Sousa, he was only given 4 months then sacked!

You have to blame the Board, ok they hired a manager that wanted to play a different system to what we are used to, but give the man 2 years to implement it, not 4 months it was a joke.

That's good advice H and something perhaps you should pass on as well your pals and especially your leader?

Totally agree. You have to ask why did the board bring in an untested manager at that point. They should have gone all out to get someone like NW, but I guess that wouldn't have fitted in with their vision for the boutique club they wanted.

Cheers, I will tell the wife, but since she couldn't give a toss about QPR it might fall on deaf ears.

See we can agree on some things

In theory hiring Sousa showed ambition and that the club were prepared to take a risk with a young hungry manager but unfortunately it did not work out for all parties

Agree with this, for me we never brought in the manager with the correct status until Warnock.Can remember disapointment after disapointment when naming managers, Di Canio(never heard of him) did ok, except in the last 10 mins of games,and appointing Dowie,Magilton,Hart was just doing things on the cheap.

[ProtestR]

makes me laugh that people think dowie, magilton, hart etc were FB's fault - they were on the recommendation of his football advisor i.e. gp - who let's face it is a chancer who knows sweet fa about football and yet some people sold their soul and did his bidding on this site - shameful truly shameful.

Well by that logic they were FB's fault in that he was a fool to keep trusting GP's 'expert opinion' on who to hire.

The buck always stops at the top.

Well to me the owners were at fault because there was obviously a low budget they were willing to pay a manager,so you won't attract the the best,
and lets face it after the 1st year in charge, and all the interference that came out we could have offered any amount and all decent managers wouldn't have gone near us with a barge pole.
