Sacked Paolo Sousa now. To quote the article: QPR chairman and co-owner Flavio Briatore has now had four managers and two caretakers in a year and a half.

Should we be introducing a suitability test for individuals buying our clubs? Seems ridiculous to me.

hehe At least he's putting the money in and letting the managers by and large get on with it. We need people to make Flavio and Gillette/Hicks to undergo some kind of due diligence tests.

It is absolutely insane.

Quite frankly I'd rather go back to the days where we had to shake a bucket at matches in order to afford players, that would be preferable to putting up with this!

It simply beggers belief that Briatore thinks that this kind of mucking around will help us win anything. It won't! The reason why we were promoted in the first place is because we had stability, we had Holloway for several seasons, we collected together a motley crew of players, got ourselves mid table security, and THEN went for it.

To get promoted we need two things, money, and stability, from the sounds of it the people at the top aren't willing to spend money on the players the manager wants, and will loan out the ones he has got and wants to keep, nor are they willing to accept criticism but will simply push him out.

No one is going to want to manage QPR at this rate!
