He won't be there at the end of the season!Ray wilkins should form a group of ex players who went on to better things after there days at loftus rd and buy the club and employ someone who has knowledge of this league and how to get out of it.

As a Hull fan, hopefully we'll take 3 points off QPR as they're in transition and maybe not settled. Other than that does the guy speak English?

Gigi needs someone that knows English football and the language.Tell him to give me a bell,i'm the longest serving italian manager in English football and knows what it means when you don't know the language properly.Communication skills are 50% of a manager's job.You know where i'm Gigi and i'll be willing to help you settling in.Enrico

To Mersey Boy What do you know about QPR in your Premiership world ? Ask any one about Wilkins and they wouldnt want him anywhere near Loftus Rd again.. been there wasted £6 million and left. I know that amount of money is Gerrards wife shopping budget, but it was a lot of money to us then By the way Rangers have money now Blues and Reds wouldnt know though as its non Premiership news

In italy football is a sport played by athletes not players hung over from the night before. I hope De Canio realises this

Shrewd board! Relieve the proven manager of his duties (just as QPR were doing well) and appoint a total stranger. I'd be worried. Very worried.

i have nothing against the italians hey ten years ago they had the best league in the world. in the last two to three weeks i have looked on the club website to find out who is it going to be is it vialli or is it hoddle alas no it's de canio and it's not even paulo, i have had to wikipedia the name and to my amazement he has won nowt, what are we doing is he a stop gap until Carlo Ancellotti loses his his job at A.C MILAN

Crime is rife in Italy and Brazil; and when these guys get a chance to get out of these h-llholes, they take them.

I'm sorry to see Jol go after what he did with the club the last two years.

you must be living in a cucko land!crime is rife in this country as much as in those countries!Gigi is viewing this as an experience to manage abroad like Capello,Guidolin,Sacchi,Trapattoni and others.London is a cosmopolitan town to live in and only 2 hours flight from Italy.The worrying thing is:English coaches only go to third world countries and are not requested as 40-50 years ago...Actually there are not many left in the premiership...the same as the players..even more worrying!
