Window Cleaner Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 qpr Ah right, as we've successfully proved this season, you don't need to spend money to be shîte.When you're broke and selling everything that isn't nailed down,well it stands to reason that you're going to be crap.When you've spent a lot of money only Dolly Parton can justify it.

Saints67 Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 get him in I disagree Joe. If QPR don't think he's good enough to lead them to the Promised Land then I doubt if he'd be able to do it for us on a zero budget. Also I feel changing a manager midway through a season (or even 12 games in) isn't a great idea. We have been down this route before and it hasn't always worked out for us.

saintjay77 Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 TBF QPR may be the richest but they have speant bugger all compared to other so called rich clubs.

It's not what you pay for them it's what you pay them that counts, as we found to our disadvantage. QPR have had wholesale transfers, last summer and the January before. I mean they might have got Ayemang for 350K but I bet he's not on 50p a week.All those Italians, Busaky...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labibs Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 Don't want Dowie here, don't rate him at all. Did okay at Oldham and then got lucky at Palace as Andy Johnson turned into a goal machine out of nowhere. Hasn't really done much anywhere else. QPR have spent a fair bit and will be paying big wages. The likes of Bukzaky and Lee Cook will be on massive wages, as will the foreign lads they have on loan. I can't imagine a man like Damiano Tomassi will be there on the cheap either. I guess they are comparing what he has done with the likes of Wolves and found he has come up short.

Fan The Flames Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 overrated manager and failed in most jobs except one season at Palace Failed is a hard way of putting it. He has a average record with average teams, won more than he lost and has managed for 6 years. I would have thought for someone who played over 150 games for us you may have choosen a better turn of phrase. But having respect for ex-players is just something 'flat caps' do in these days of hard nosed business approach to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failures the lot of 'em!its funny when they havent managed us their past record is put in front of their failure but ours move on to international jobs and are still slaughtered. IMO Dowie is not a good manager as his record at Charlton where he spent big and failed miserably, Palace where he got them up on a roll and went straight back down again, where they kept their squad and added to it and still failed badly. Football is about opinions and my opinion of Dowie is that he is not a good manager, you think differently. I dont know how well he did at Oldham but was he sacked or headhunted by Palace?

I guess they are comparing what he has done with the likes of Wolves and found he has come up short. Tomassi wont be on much, this is a guy who refused his wages after he broke his leg and then would only play for the minimum wage for a year after to prove himself. It was only a matter of time before the golden axe fell, it always happens when a club is taken over like this. I'm surprised its taken so long and there will be a foreign manager there within a week, he is probably packing his bags as we speak. Dowie was appointed by Flav which is what confused us all. Mancini has been mentioned in the papers and I wouldnt mind him. Also, he might not even get a payoff, we had a couple of loans who had to be played as part of the agreement and he refused so he could have been sacked for gross misconduct.

Only if it was written in Dowie's contract that he had to play who he was told, surely? And if it was, then that's not much of a manager's position is it.
