« on: April 30, 2025, 10:36:46 AM »Who says? Can’t say I’m disappointed.
Everyone including Percy. He's not on the shortlist apparently in contrast to what was said yesterday

QPR twitter announcement:
"Martí Cifuentes has been placed on gardening leave.
Assistant coaches Kevin Betsy and Xavi Calm will take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis and prepare the squad for our final fixture of the 2024/25 campaign against Sunderland."
Sounds like a deal can be done. The relationship between QPR and him is now beyond repair at this point unless someone pulls out a big wad of cash

Dood saying no formal talks yet. We won't be paying anywhere near the compo they want either way.

If it wasn't for the squad he got Moore would have done way way worse. His record post us is not exactly glowing either.
Tried to run before he could walk for me

« on: April 29, 2025, 04:46:21 PM »Woeful, really? Better points per game than most of our Head Coaches in the last decade Bruce you can describe as woeful Darren Moore no.
Not that I am saying that I would want him back that boat has sailed.
I felt his reign was a massive disappointment. Thoroughly unimpressed although I will say I think things got worse when Jones got in here.

Not big Dave again please.
He was woeful. He's doing now what he should been doing 7 years ago. Learning and paying his dues.

I don't think he's a bad player as such l, more he was completely unsuited to the speed and intensity of the Champo.
3 goals and 1 assist in 9 games for Braga so far apparently

« on: April 27, 2025, 06:50:44 PM »I'm reserving judgement for now but the Racic, Frabotta acquisitions seem like seem odd to me and raise questions. I don't think they were down to Pearce; I wonder if he could pick out Italy on a map.
Think both.of those are Nestor.

« on: April 27, 2025, 06:50:14 PM »Why Cifuentes , what’s he achieved at QPR that makes him seemingly one of the top choices !
QPR fans don't seem too sad he might be leaving. Hard to tell from social media

Don't know much about Blessin but I think Cifuentes will be closer to what Bilkul wanted than Mowbray.

« on: April 27, 2025, 05:27:55 PM »Just wanted to add because it feels relevant. Foster did say on his podcast that the year they were threatening European places he was mailing in performances at the end because he didn't want the extra matches the next season. Not sure how widespread that mentality was in that squad.
I believe he also said that it was Peace that didn't want Europe so the players were told not to worry about pushing too hard for Europe

Ipswich relegated and Delaps 30m release clause is now active - Romano
The boy proved me wrong. I said he would get 8 goals. He got into double figures, fair play!

Last Match Forum - 26/04 Cardiff City (A) / Re: After Match Debate
« on: April 26, 2025, 07:08:15 PM »I thought Price struggled all game, nothing was falling for him and he was a yard short most of the time. Wallace came on and did pretty well, offered some running going forward that we were missing.
Not that it's the way things should be, just that, today, the substituion wasn't ineffective.
I agree Wallace has done ok last 2 games he's come.on as sub but it was just so unimaginative and obvious, even if he had been playing badly he would have come on

« on: April 26, 2025, 06:47:07 PM »Yes, but that's a whole year more to have to put up with them, unless we have a new manager who will drop them to the bench and/or have a wonderful transfer window this summer. The Heggem/Price/Bany/Johnston signings give me some hope moving forwards, but we need a good few more of that ilk.
Let's pray that Bilkul can get it done and some of those players moved on
