i agree with mindajax. i think people calling for disaster measures to recruit a new manager only highlight what i feel is the main issue with the club at the moment - fans in a rush to see our "expectation" fulfilled.

lets have a little patience. gareth may not have managerial experience but he has been in the game for a long time and will have seen what managers have done. we're 7th in the league and in alright form we are not at risk of relegation and with a run could cement a playoff place. i don't see any harm in giving gareth a break - i for one would rather wait a few year for this team to go up provided we do it with the right guy and GA is Qpr through and through and would be an ambassador for fans and the board - somewhere ID fouled up on both.

Something I haven't seen anywhere on the subject of Gareth Ainsworth being given a chance to take the job full time is whether or not he has (or needs) any of the appropriate UEFA-endorsed coaching badges.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm guessing that as he's still registered as a player (and as a result will have spent his weeks training, keeping fit etc) he won't have had time to do his badges.

While what you say about Hoddle's management abilities stand up to some degree (tell me what has he actually won, maybe 1 cup with our neighbours????), his views on disabled people are completely vile, in my book someone with views like that deserves to find out what being disabled actually means. A further issue to me are his religious views. Religion is for the socially backward and ignorant who don't want to question their origins, or accept the fact that they are totally responsible for whatever happens in the lives, rather than the over-comforting rubbish "It's God's will"

This debate will not cease until the board appoint someone.I hope they bring in someone with a fresh outlook who will work with Ainsworth and bring him on.Surely if they are serious about their ambitions they must realise he is not experienced enough.If they let things be and to be honest not much has changed since dowie left i dont see us progressing.The world and his dog know we need an experienced striker ( look at the reading game ) we were superb but no bite up front.Besides that I think the squad is good enough.A new manager with a fresh outlook PLEASE !Any new names out there ? For me Poyet might be a good choice.Not too old , did well at leeds ( all went wrong when he left )well spoken and seems to be his own man.

First thing, Jurgen Klinsmann is the Bayern Munich manager and not in California and won't come to QPR. Secondly, while I would like to see QPR back in the PL, you need to spend more money. Signing Cerny, Ramage and a few youngsters on loan isn't going to win you the league, with what you've got I would see you finishing in the final playoff place at best. OK, you won't be able to attract the top top players but you can sign the best championship players. I think Ainsworth has done reasonably well so far, although admittedly not that experienced.

Decanino 1. Like the thought process, but don't you think these guys are a bit "yesterday's men"? Now, David Coulthard? He hasn't got much to do at the moment. Doesn't he run up mountains to keep fit? Gerry Francis recognised that fitness was an issue, giving away goals in the last 10 minutes was a sympton of this last year, could David help? But is he able to complete the course?

But, yesterday's men? Hoddle, Allardyce, Venables? I still think we need an apprectice of that ilk, not the man himself.

Zone 1. I agree, patience. Let's see what Ains can deliver, he's got the vote of the Board, and no one is exactly breaking down the doors to join us. The Board don't want them and they don't want us. Let's see what Ains can deliver with Flav's input of what the Board require. There's still next year, but after, how many years in the wilderness, does a little longer really hurt?

HA5, I've been trying to "bottom out" this coach badge issue - forgive my ignorance, but what badges are needed? Are they somewhere in the club? Does Flowers have any? Could he be "badge minder" in the interim?
