CEO is a different role to DoF but I take the point. Clearly age alone isn't the only criteria required to be hired for C' level roles. A proven track record of success, education, skill, intelligence, wisdom, leadership, dynamism, organisation, work ethic, charm, courage, steel, temperance, etc are all qualities you look for in a candidate, and some of these come with age and experience. I loved Les the player and his legendary status is cemented. However, Les shouldn't have been considered for the role of DoF as he lacks many of the required skills and capabilities. He was appointed to keep the fans quiet. [Post edited 13 Mar 14:19]

Yep. I just hope that the squad finds it within themselves to "bonce back". |

As I said when Nourry was appointed, C' level roles aren't typically handed out to inexperienced twenty somethings. The average age of a CEO in the UK is between 53 and 56 for a reason. Those who argued otherwise, hang your heads in shame for ignoring basic common sense. |

I wasn't excited by some of those signings as they weren't what the team actually needed. Moreover, if you sign players with a track record of injury, don't be surprised if they get injured. Availability is the best ability. |

Personally I think we need to be getting something from the next 2 games against Leicester and Portsmouth to build some confidence and maintain the gap to the drop zone. Lose both and it's squeaky bum time. |

I think it's too easy and convenient to blame injuries. Many of those who started are first teamers and should do a lot better than they have of late. Losing is one thing, regularly getting beat in 4s and 5s is frankly embarrassing and unacceptable. |

Spot on. And to top it all off we're stuck with another 3-4 year cycle of this rubbish. On our budget you only get the opportunity to rebuild squads once in a while and unfortunately much of the Eze money has been wasted on players we either didn't need, aren't good enough or both. As you say a major overhaul is required including culling much of the bloated and ineffective Methodology and Performance teams as well as demoting Nourry to a post more in keeping with his age and inexperience.

I agree but it's not simply about that. Some of these injuries are linked to poor recruitment. If you insist on buying players with poor injury records then don't be surprised if they end up injured. I mean Obikwo, what on earth is happening there? A daft January signing to say the least. Vale was injured for some months when we signed him. Poku can't seem to manage more than a game without breaking down. And as for Glass Salter, well the less said the better. Yes the performance team needs to pull its socks up but the club could help by being more creative at board level to generate new revenue streams that then enable recruitment of robust players who don't turn up on day 1 with a sick note. |

So it appears that QPR are heading for yet another finish in the lower half of the table. The coach is not the problem. A lack of creativity by the board to generate new revenue streams, poor recruitment when we do have (Eze) money to spend, and extremely poor fitness rank way higher than the coach. Just ask the previous incumbents. |

You can't be in an offside position from the corner kick but you can be from the resulting header. The question then is was he interfering with play. |

I've seen Esquire play for the Development Squad and he was head and shoulders above most players on the pitch. However, he isn't ready for the Championship. He was thrown in at the deep end due to a combination of poor recruitment and Lakerche's injury. The lad's only 19 so send him on loan and see how he develops. |

I agree he's not ready but he does create overlaps. The problem is his runs are largely ignored by inverted wingers. |

Absolutely! Or sign half a dozen midget number 10s when the team is crying out for box-to-box central midfielders, 2 full backs, a goalkeeper, fitness, leadership, and pace.
But if you do sign a lemon and someone is kind enough to take him on loan what you don't do then is compound the problem by recalling him early in order to protect some misguided notion of reputation. |
