Cant help thinking this little old club QPR could be changing quite dramatically over the next 5 years chaps. I've got a feeling things may never be the same again soon.

After the 15 year period from 1996, I sincerely hope that things will never be the same again

QPR last night launched the revolutionary scouting system that brought the Premier League title to Manchester City.

New technical director Mike Rigg has been tasked with making sure lightning strikes twice when he hires up to 100 coaches and others to find a production line of players that lasts for the next three decades at least.

The man lured to west London from City unveiled the plan that sees a top to bottom clean sweep of the existing system at Loftus Road.

A one-off glimpse at Rigg’s laptop showed 45 pages of information on just one former City target that detailed everything from where he shopped to whether or not he liked tennis.

But the simple premise of Rigg’s revolution is to leave QPR the plan, essentially a database in four sections, long after he and boss Mark Hughes have left.

He said: "You should find players and buy them on the back of a great depth of due diligence.

"I would say 90 per cent of clubs pay lip service to that. It’s sloppy scouting.

"I have come here to put in place a structure which, regardless of whether I’m here in the future, will carry on for the next 15 or 20 years."

Rigg’s four tiers start with 10-year-olds at QPR followed by academy hopefuls leading to those just beyond the first team before arriving at the Premier League stars at the top.

Each layer is tightly cross-referenced with coaching, development and sports science monitoring – and the crucial ingredient is that everything about everyone gets recorded.

Rigg added: "Why other clubs don’t do this I have no idea.

"I should have walked into QPR and known what our target list was, but there was no structure. How can a club like QPR not have an identification, recruitment and development strategy?

"I’m currently doing an audit of what we need in the way of extra people. But if I can have the entire programme in place by the end of next season, then maybe three years from now, we can talk about how successful it has been."

There you go.

I love what these guys are doing. They seem to be sorting it out top to bottom.

All this work going on behind the scenes is fantastic. Fernandes and the mittals are a godsend.
Come on u r'sssss

Probably the best article I've read about Rangers so far - and there have been plenty of good news stories of late.

Lets face it weve been a "shell" of a football club for the last 15 years due to all the financial pressures of relegation. Its going to take a lot of time and not a considerable investment in the right people to get QPR back to where we were 15 years ago i.e. punching well above our weight against some of the more "bigger" clubs like Man U, Liverpool & Arsenal.

I am very exited by everything that is happening at the moment - boys n girls our club is changing right in front of our eyes and for the better!!!!

You Rssssssssssssssssssssss

I don't think none of us really understands how bright the future is for QPR. Sometimes it feels too good to be true with Fernandes, Hughes, Rigg, Beard, Amit etc.

Agreed. For too long this club's supporters have been let down by two bob mickey mouse ownership and management.

The revolution has begun my friends. A brilliant hooped dawn will rise from the West and spread through this land and eventually we will conquer all.

I can see that we're in Spurs position within 10 years, nicking a champions league spot every third season. That is my dream and it doesn't seem so far away these days.
