It takes two hands to clap
But which hand looking for an applause is something difficult to ponder from the outside |

There were some terrible games. The 5-0 trashing in the last home game by burnley surely take the cake. Burnley had secured promotion, probably on vacation, did we down tools? It was his last game and it the players were anything but they should be fighting hard for a memorable send off.
I hope we support the new coach as much as the last coach and cont be bias just because he is a Nourry Appointment.

We are all reading way too much
If cook is made captain, some will think why a player that is not going to play regularly be made captain on the pitch
We don’t know, Cook could be playing day in day out, so
Dunne is a good choice, he is at the club longer, relates better to the players and maybe the club is thinking longer term
Dunne, Cook, Field, Chair - if any of one of them is made captain I don’t think the fanbase will disagree. To me they are all captain material on and off the pitch |

Hope Kane and Olise at Bayern will help him decide.
It will be a fantastic move for Eze |

I agree - he is same as everyone else, precisely the point
If he is more successful at QPR, he would have better offers, PL teams would be circling around Loftus Road
Not sure why we are still fixated on him when we have a new coach in the house |

We need to move on from Marti.
Marti was popular, did well in some games, but was terrible in some too. We had promotion runs but also relegation runs. Overall he did alright vis a vis the fans support.
Julien it seems needs our concerted support, and it is not funny
As for Mari, history (empirical behaviour evidence) will be off to another club in 12-18 months time, if not sacked. |

Our last match was 3 May in the championship
Castellon finished the Segunda on 1 June
If they have already been ahead in pre-season, we need to be pretty serious about ourselves if we perform like this |

Sell Nardi. Walsh to be number 1
It is a bold move, but one I support
We have been saying for years we are not profiting from players sales when their stake is “high” and while still contracted
If we make business by selling Nardi, I won’t argue against that |

I think if they hit £8 million I think it is very difficult to reject.
Are Espanyol, Rapid and Basel flushed with cash? They may be bidding around the region of £5-6 million, if that is the case definitely we should keep.
Varane has the potential to kick on and fear not, Ben Williams is back on site |

“Selling is an art form” I agree absolutely
If Bus Stop can do it, it can be done. We have to learn.
If Varane goes, and with decent money, it can kick start our reputation as a selling club with players other clubs want, players want to come and clubs look into our squad for reinforcements - we hold the cards and negotiate to our best interests
If you look at the first team, players like Morrison, Morgan, Dembele and even Kelman can be the next Varane. Our development squad is teeming with interesting and promising young players, that is a strong sign.
So far our contract negotiations and extensions with our players seem to go well, we are not being held to ransom especially in Dunne case, and we managed to wrapped it up eventually with win-win to both club and player. Maybe Nourry is getting it right? Maybe that is his forte? Maybe he has assessed our history with players like BOS, Manning (walking away free due to OOC), Dickie, Dieng, Willock (not selling and missing the windows when stock was high) and came out with a strategy to do these things better? Do you think we sold Armstrong at the right time and at the right price?
Certainly other aspects can be improved massively like Celar and Madsen, these are the negatives but they have the potential to improve and find their feet this coming season - all is not lost, yet [Post edited 20 Jun 21:55]

Let’s not be overjoyed and calm down
Whether it is worth will be based on the injuries or the lack of in the coming season
For his sake I wish the squad remains healthy, he needs to justify why the club should bring him back on site with a full-time role. Bloody hell he succeeds. |

If the relationship has broken down and irreparable, QPR would be getting rid of him anyways and that is understood to mean a payment of compensation with regards to what’s left of Cifuentes’s contract.
We are known to do that (compensating managers while still contracted) re Critchley and Ainsworth when they were both sacked to make way for the new guy. QPR loves to pay especially for their mistakes time and time again, so the Cifuentes situation will be no different once they know they no longer want the manager. I think in Beale we made some money, how unlikeable he is nonetheless
I am just speculating that the gardening leave is imposed so that Cifuentes, under the terms of the “sanction” cannot discuss, reveal or comment on anything that is relating to his role at QPR, so basically that is to shut him up and cocoon him. It might be a punishment (however stupid one might opine) but I think in this case the club is thinking legal. They have to pay him anyway to leave but to sack him (as he has done nothing legally wrong - agents talking to WBA notwithstanding) the club might have to pay more than to impose gardening leave (meaning here he could be doing the “wrong thing”) so club and Cifuentes sits out the gardening period once the new manager is sourced and in place, the compensation then gets paid.
I might be totally talking bollocks but I think, rightly or wrongly, the club main priority is to protect the interest of QPR by imposing the gardening leave on Cifuentes. You could argue it was Nourry’s ego but I don’t think he has such a clout over the whole board including Ruben that the club would allow him to execute his own little vendetta
Just my view, apologies if it is all rubbish! |

Was it Nourry’s company when he was consulting that scouted and recommended Cifuentes to the board? Apologies if I’m sprouting rubbish |

Looking for 3 teams to finish below us already, any promising candidates?
Hope it is a lot more competitive at the top rather than the usual 3-4 suspects blowing away the league. Unlikely eh |

Has anyone thought that now he is back "full time" we may be paying more for his services?
Perhaps having him work remotely is one way to cut some cost, but working off shore clearly didn't work
Now we may be paying him more but not sure if he is any good cue the Brooklyn stint and his first season here might be attributed to luck as people here have you believed? |

The club has the list - but none in the list wants in?
Marti has his list - but none of the club wants him?
The position of Head Coach at Queens Park Rangers is still a very attractive role, if you ask me [Post edited 5 Jun 3:40]

Or play 11 goalkeepers instead?
A few can venture upfield to create and score goals
All 11 on the goal line trying to save a penalty
Easy to play possession football passing around at the back
That will boost the defence a lot and minimise injuries as they are not going to run a lot |
