Bollocks QPR have sacked Hughes, so they'll have Redknapp in by the time they play us.

[placeforparks]

got a copy of the script here:

harry's first game will be against us, it'll be qpr's first win of the season and the sunday papers and match of the day will be fawning over him.

[supertom]

See this was my worry. QPR on paper have some decent players. Nothing great but mid-table level. If they get a manager who can get them playing together then they could turn things around. I'm not worried about Reading or Southampton because they're just not good enough at this level.
Bollocks. Was hoping they'd carry on with Sparky till it was too late.

Saying that, we can look on the positive side. David O Leary and Alex McLeish are both out of work. Who knows???

[PaulWinch again]

I see Sky already believe Redknapp has agreed to take over. He'd bloody tell them too.

[supertom]

Anyone else slightly amused at how the mighty Harry has fallen? From being at "wonderful" Tottenham, the future champions under his reign, to being the new saviour of the national side, and it's all gone a bit shite since. Karma's a bitch. Ha ha. He'll have a whale of a time at QPR. Sadly I do think he'll have enough to keep them up, but when he can do no more than turn them into a midtable outfit (back to his own level IMO) then he'll be out on his arse and a long way from the really big job he thinks he's worthy of.

Similar to when he took over Spurs when they were bottom.  Look what he did with them.  He'll have a lot more to spend at QPR as well, I think he could do very well there.

I think he had a lot more to work with at Spurs. A bigger and better club. I just think QPR is too much of a circus, even for the ultimate circus master Harry. We'll see just how much money they actually have (left). They'll doubtless want to be a new Man City or Chelsea, but I don't see them being more than mid-table. All they'll do is a attract more mercenaries who don't give a fuck about the club at all.

Not even remotely similar.  Tottenham had a very good squad of young players that Ramos couldn't find a pattern for.  QPR are a retirement home for overpaid nearly men who never quite made it (consistently) in the premier league and are now on the way down.  If Redknapp takes the job and keeps them up he'll have done well.

When was the last time we beat a team managed by Redknapp? Was it Southampton the year they went down? He seems to have had a bit of a jinx on us since then. Not good news with a QPR game coming up that we could do with winning.

[danlanza]

Harry will keep this lot up and have a lot of money to spend in the process i think.
We will still beat them.

[Monty]

I think we'll win the next four then lose the four after that. Or something interspersed in between. Either way, come March I think we'll be clear of the real trouble, maybe not mathematically safe but hopefully by then reaching genuine safety will be a when-not-if situation.

M'bia, Granero, Hoilett and Cesar all looked like excellent signings, Taarabt is a talent as well and Park, Zamora and Wright Phillips can still offer plenty.  I think Harry will have some good tools to work with down there.
