QPR fans
Matteo Alberti scored both for us. The report says we stayed in control and should have won except the forest Keeper was in superman mood.
I'm llooking forward to beating Ipswich, then HN might change the tage he's attached under my Avatar.
Back to the top to remind HN to change Ipswich 2 QPR 0 to QPR 2 Ipswich 0.
Ooooh... talk dirty to me JD, you have me aroused.
Paulo Sousa's job a little more secure afyer 2 wins on the trot.
The Rs still a mathematical chance of playoffs you think, Andy? Or start thinking of next season?
Paladini and Briatore need to be taken out to a quite part of the woods and have a bullet placed at the base of their respective necks.

As the reaction to Paulo Sousa�s departure continues we have to consider what Rangers� next decision will be. Will they make a similar move to the Sousa appointment or will they actually use this opportunity to do something sensible and finally win back some fan support?
I said yesterday that I don�t care who the club appoint to succeed Sousa and I stand by that. It�s irrelevant in the current situation. If they choose to appoint another coach to work under the same set up then we�ll be in the same position a few months down the line.
I honestly expect this will be the way they go. They�ll pick up some young European coach to work in the same way as Sousa and De Canio then complain when he can�t get any more out the limited players supplied to him. There�s a chance they might fluke their way into convincing an English �name� to take up the challenge and he�ll just quit when the system proves too frustrating.
The only way forward for Queens Park Rangers now is to take a long hard look at their set up and make some drastic changes. The first of those is getting rid of our Sporting Director as soon as possible.
That means the end of Gianni Paladini, he is responsible for assembling our current squad and he hasn�t given our coaches good enough options to succeed. That alone leaves his position up for discussion.
If we�re going to have a continental system then you can�t hide behind it, the quality of the squad is the responsibility of the Sporting Director not the coach and Paladini should pay the price. Aside from being culpable for our current situation his very presence will rule out a lot of potential appointments from even getting off the ground.
Frankly though the fact that I don�t think Paladini is doing a good job is irrelevant, his position is more of a problem than his performance. He needs to go and he must not be replaced.
Once Paladini has gone Briatore and co must then come out and make a statement that they will be recruiting for a manger this summer, not a first team coach, a manager. A proper, English style, warts and all, football manger. And then they must leave them to get on with the job.
That alone will suddenly bring some interesting names into the frame and maybe, just maybe, get back a little respect from the fan base.
If the club chooses to stick with the status quo then frankly we might as well all give up and go home. There�s only so many times you can make the same mistake and if the club continues with this continental system we will continue to move in circles.
It�s time for the board to take bold and drastic action. There is so much potential at this club, there is much that could be achieved, but it will all go to waste if they don�t open their eyes.
There are only really two ways this can go. Either they make the changes and give us a proper football club to support or they just leave things as they are and watch QPR wilt away in front of their eyes.
The time is right for big decisions to be taken, are the board up for the challenge?
I'm so shallow!
