I don't want Warburton he is too old. He is a full year older than the average age of this years champions league finalists.
/sarcasm
I really don't buy into this yesterday's man nonsense. Some times managers have success, or failer, due to fluke circumstances. But good managers are good managers. Out of the 92 only a dozen or so can be successful at anyone time. That doesn't make the other 80 bad.
Of course there are some bad managers, of course we have had some, but most are victims of circumstances.
I wonder how many of the people who don't want an old manager have also been clamouring for Curbs to come back as manager or DoF
Sandgaard's comments since the announcement worry me. He's getting too involved in the running of the team.
Talking about high press & defensive blocks like he knows what he's talking about.
It's a worrying sign.
The recruitment strategy worries me too. Don't think the manager has much say. I cant see the club progressing until he changes his approach & starts putting the team above his own ego
Why can't we just be a normal football club??
I got shouted down, laughed at and told I was talking shite when I said TS was too involved in the team a couple of months back.
The same happened when I said his wife was too involved as well, watch this space on that one.
Will Mrs Sandgaard be in charge of the vol-au-vents? Someone has to pick up the baton from Sue Parkes?

Well earlier we had Adkins lost touch with modern football, because he was outside of the game for 18 months. Yet the solution was Curbs as DOF. This was all in favour of Warburton who had, you guessed it, 18 months out of the game, before the QPR job.
Warburton did very well at both Brentford and Rangers.
Less so during his six months at Forest and then it's been bumpy couple of years with QPR who started this season very brightly but faded away quickly.
Brentford i agree with but saying he did very well at Rangers is questionable. He was there 18 months and for the first season of that they were in the championship. Getting Rangers out of the championship should be the bare minimum requirement. He was let go the following season when they were about 20 points behind Celtic by January.
Championship experience - check Got a team out of this division - check Plays decent football - check Won't be employed soon so no compensation - check
And if Sandgaard is saying it might take a week or more to confirm the new manager then that would also work, as QPR's season isn't over yet.

On paper it looks like he did a reasonable job at Rangers.
But what was the wage bill compared to Celtic's? What injuries did he have to cope with? Did the club sign good enough players? If not who's fault was that? What other mitigating circumstances were there?

Well they’d been relegated previously hadn’t they so weren’t exactly competing with Celtic, even after they got promoted.

Well quite. The "stats" without context are pretty useless when looking at a managers previous record.
Genuinely would go for Mick McCarthy. People will say old school and should retire, but only 63 (don't be ageist), promotion at Sunderland and Wolves, play off with Ipswich, did ok with Cardiff. Somehow made ROI competitive and always come across as honest and engaging. I think young and hungry always sounds great on paper, but IMHO he'd command respect and discipline.
Ipswich fans we spoke to on Saturday said Mccarthy's football was dire to watch and gates dropped off.

Gates dropped off, impressive.
Gates? He must have been nearly 70 when Mccarthy was at Ipswich. A miracle if he was still in the team.
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
Which is why they will never let him go . Ludicrous to suggest that he will come anywhere near us .

You do realise Villa don’t have him chained up. He’s not a slave and if he want to leave there’s not too much they can do about it.

But he will be under contract so they can still refuse any approach, especially if they want a compensation value beyond what we're happy to pay
If he's desperate to take the role, they could piss him off, but he'll still have to get on with his current job until he can leave at the end of whatever his current deal is.

We all know that’s not how it works though don’t we. If someone wants out there’s little point in standing in their way. Villa would be mad to try and hold onto someone who doesn’t want to be there. I’m sure they wouldn’t.

We only ever hear about the deals that work.
How many times will Gallen go to clubs looking to sign a player, yet get told: "No thanks he's not for sale" - We wont hear about those will we

England U19 manager Ian Foster
These are two that should be in consideration IMO.
Twist it, ignore facts, anything for an agenda.
Championship experience - check
Got a team out of this division - check
Plays decent football - check
Won't be employed soon so no compensation - check
And if Sandgaard is saying it might take a week or more to confirm the new manager then that would also work, as QPR's season isn't over yet.
Just employ a (proven?) manager, let him bring his own staff in. And let him make the changes as he sees fit (4/5 out, 4/5 in).
Top half finish next term and go for promotion the following.
No unrealistic goals. No Jason Euell. No Lee Bowyer. No Curbs 16/1
Just a conventional NEW person with some sort of decent credentials.
But what was the wage bill compared to Celtic's? What injuries did he have to cope with? Did the club sign good enough players? If not who's fault was that? What other mitigating circumstances were there?
Michael Beale - Talking though his coaching journey.
The more I look into him, the more I think we regret not getting him in. Especially thinking beyond league one.

The best quote from Gerrard about him is:
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
