Excellent news... Although this is a move that could make Chris Powell or could break him (like the Blackburn job destroyed Paul Ince)
Just a shame Fernandes is evidently racist, i.e. gets slating for sacking the black Manager and then replaces him with another Black Manager, what is the world coming to
If true i didn't see that coming. Cant think too many QPR fans will look at his managerial record and think he's the man to take them back into the Prem.
Good luck to him though. Always be a Charlton Legend.
It's a good opportunity for Powell to work in a job where he has some proper money to spend. A lot of the people who support Powell, myself included, think he's got a great eye for a player and he's suffered from having to shop in the bargain bin, so once he's turfed out the useless journeymen sitting on big contracts and brought in some quality it'll be interesting to see if he can shape some positive tactics around them. It's not an easy job by any stretch
Will get them promoted next season, if he gets a little backing and the chance to choose his own squad over the summer, just like I believe he would have taken us up if the money had not vanished under the last ownership.
I'm not convinced that's the best place for Powelly.
I wish him all the luck in the world but the players, egos and money at that club are not likely to be anything like his comfort zone.
Depends whether or not he can clear them out really. If he can get rid of the likes of Onuoha, Traore, Hill and Sandro and bring in players with the right attitude he'll be ok. The Mirror is claiming Warnock is going to get the job until the summer now.
Good luck to Chris if true. As someone else said earlier it will make or break him as a manager. I hope he is a success, I really do, until we play them again.
Be interesting if Charlie Austin sees Powell as someone he wants to work under, or whether he sees it as a lack of ambition from Queens Park Rangers (i.e. not going for someone like Pearson with Premier League experience) which'll see him more determined to leave in January... Am sure Alex Smithies will providing his knowledge of working with Powell right now
personally I'll be amazed if he gets the gig, don't feel he's a big enough name for them at the moment, suspect their (deluded) fans expect bigger and better
If he is appointed I feel the job and the expectations will be to big for SCP.
Not really... When he took the Charlton job he was expected to take us back to the Championship... In taking the Queens Park Rangers they're expecting him to take them up to the Premier League
Target is no different, just better standard of players
Good luck to Chris. Hope he does well. If he is a proper manager he will have been learning all the time, from success and failure. This could be the big one for him

He'll do well to finish the season there I reckon
Hope SCP gets it though, think he could do well there.

That being said it is only a rumor.
It takes one to know one, of course!
The players will certainly play for him.
He got us to 9th in the Championship with the financial plug pulled on squad strengthening and the 6th round of the FA Cup the following season.
Imagine what he could do with a modicum of financial backing too!
Our loss.
