QPR were shite but did have individual quality tbh, Charlie Austin scored 18 league goals in that 14/15 side which is insane. I don't think there's any magic formula to be honest. Forgot about Austin! That QPR side definitely didn't add up to the sum of its parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember QPR signing every 35-year-old hasbeen looking for a last paycheck and absolutely stinking the league out a few seasons later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 31 May 2022 Share Posted 31 May 2022 Michael Beale leaving Villa to become manager at QPR. That's a big loss to Villa - Gerrard described him as the tactical brains of the team. Beale is a great coach, so fascinated to see how he does at QPR. His playing style will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is he tried to get them pressing, and as he came in without a pre season they blew out of their arse at the end of the season. Top class coach for me and he is going to be in the prem for a while with or without forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard bigging his mate up might've helped Beale get the job, why would he do that sort of thing, advertising him out there if he wanted to keep him? Now he's got a friend running a Championship squad, can safely loan his lads somewhere safe where they'll get gametime and eyes in the Championship to help watch for new talent. Football is a big network. We seem to have built up a relationship with Luton in recent years for loans and signings. Before that Burton were quite friendly, and of course naturally OHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionator Posted 1 June 2022 Share Posted 1 June 2022 Is Bale really only good enough to play for Cardiff? I can think of probably 18 premier league teams who would have him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that move would just be so he keeps fit for the World Cup if Wales get there but agree that a lot of Premier league clubs would be interested if the wages are right.

fox_up_north Posted 1 June 2022 Share Posted 1 June 2022 Just seen Pogba has announced he'll "announce his future" in an Amazon documentary. The absolute gall of that. If there's one thing Man United need to learn is to stop signing players with that attitude. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living down south I've never met a Forest fan. Used to having a plethora of fans of London clubs plus the usual Man U and Liverpool glory hunters. As a result hurt just runs off my shoulders as the song says. Let's enjoy the break and recharge for the new season. If you feel queasy how do the Derby fans feel. Sshhh!!! No-one's felt able to tell the Derby fans yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest succeed on a strong defence, they don’t have a striker like Toney, their most creative player is back at United and they’ll be looking at Jack Colback as a creative influence. I just don’t see them troubling many Prem sides without reinforcements. I think they’ll do better than Bournemouth though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not: Maguire Coutinho Dembele Hazard At least Pogba had his moments, even if they were few and far between. The 4 above did/have done F all for any of their clubs. Pogba wins it straight away because United let him go for free, spent 100 mill on him again and he's walking away for free 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
