Post QPR: Should Rodgers remain?

[Royal With Cheese]

We miss Doyle far more than anyone.

Sort of agree but in this team I doubt he'd have more than a couple of goals so far this season. As a talisman he is sorely missed.

Sacking BR now won't help much at all. What we need (if we are in the same crap position in December) is for a new manager to come in then with enough time left to plan the January transfer activity properly, and we will need SJM to cough up at least £10M for a couple of proven strikers and to fill the gap still left after Sidwell.

Are you on day release or summit?

No, but I am taking a short vacation on Button Moon.

We miss Doyle far more than anyone.

The player who couldn't hit a barn door in the 2nd half of last season?

I think he was using the Royal "We"

[brendywendy]

Then why are people asking for refunds on their season tickets if they were not expecting promotion or to have stayed in the prem?

because they are plastic johnny come latelys who think football is entertainment, and that you have a choice whether you support a team or not, who come to the game with their picnic blankets, and seem to think paying 10 million pound for a plaer is fine regardless of your clubs income
or just old people who have fallen out of love with the game in general

IMO football has always been about pain, humiliation, and a certain perverse enjoyment of it.
gallows humour, crap football,ironic clapping, resigned looks to the sky after every hoofed ball into teh stands, or pass out of play
grumbling and complaining to your mates about the shite youve just been served up.

TBF i feel far more comfortable with this shit than i ever did in the prem, which was all a bit of a weird unreal blur


hoorah for the crap

i love it

[Man Friday]

That's alright then because whilst Rodgered is here they'll be plenty more of that for you and 5,000 other people to enjoy.

LOL at people who stop supporting their club because they are rubbish then
and LOL at 5000

not yet!

[RoyalBlue]

Interesting that despite all of the wailing and nashing of teeth, there is still a reasonably significant percentage of people who feel he should be given more time.

But still put in a tremendous amount of work and achieved a lot for the rest of the team.

I would also suggest that he acted as the model professional, hence the captaincy.

Jesus, when was the last time a championship club spent £13m in a season? Is it never? Thought so. Where do you think that money is going to come from, the magic money fairy?

We could do with a striker and a right back. But most of all a decent manager to pick the team, tactics, formation, make substitutions and run training.

Any new manager needs time to assess the squad and plan where he needs to strengthern and with who. He needs to have decided that before the window opens and he'll need games to be able to do that as well as training.

He needs to have already begun working on morale and training so the atmosphere at the club is improving so new players aren't coming into a wake and preferably he also needs to have started turning round results so his targets are more likely to want to come.

He doesn't need to turn us into a promotion challenger, just get us out of a relegation scrap, or look a bit more like winning one.

The longer we wait the harder that job becomes. Rodgers HAS to go if we lose the next game. He HAS to go if we fail to win in the next two. If we achieve that he HAS to go if he doesn't then build an unbeaten run over a few games, preferably with a couple of wins.

[Terminal Boardom]

Just seen the highlights. What was with giving their players 10 yards of space in our area? oxf*rd joke! Watching that has depressed me.

[firstdivision]

Yes I think he should be given until Christmas to turn it around.

His system relies on quality it is clear that he doesnt have enough of and he needs time and money to sort it out.

He inherited an assett stripped squad, missed out on Tommy Smith, and I can't scapegoat one man for the failings of others at the club. I really cannot see that anyone else would take what we have now and turn them into match winners.

The Premier League now seems exactly what it was, a couple of years in fairyland, and we are now back where we belong until we get some money to invest in the squad. I am seriously depressed about our prospects this year but it is clear we are not going to bounce back to the premiere league for @ another 5 years at the earliest.

Sack BR? pointless window dressing that keeps the baying mob happy.....

[Maguire]

I know. The third was particularly bad - Bryn's on the goalscorer but goes to the thrower when the ball comes in. Mills has to get on the free man but he just stands 8 yards off him and lets him light his cigar, turn, and pick his spot. Terrible defending.

Then for the last one Mills steps up to try and play offside instead of going with the runner. Unfortunately if Andy Gray were to freeze the video right there (you can do it yourselves on bbc.co.uk if you like) then you'll see that instead of the back line being square across the pitch, they've managed to get themselves in a perfect diagonaLOL, playing Agyemang onside by miles. Pathetic.

Oh yeah, and getting all teary-eyed on the radio? Nobody likes a ghey, Brendan, man the fck up.

Is this true? Brendan's tears are just ego dissipating from his body in liquid form.
