No not that 😂

 

The thread was started as a piss take at all those who were absolutely losing their mind of Rohl throughout the week.

 

They didn’t notice though, and have started losing their shit of this bloke now instead 😂😂😂

The fact you used this  and nobody battered an eye lid is a testament to how numbed people are to nonsense terms that are creeping in to football

I’d put good money on one of the reasons we didn’t get Röhl being the fact we are both Thai owned.

And one of them is Chansiri.

Conflict of interest / Against the EFL rules?

Yeah, I wonder if they’re business rivals and don’t get on. I think we all assume because they’re both Thai that it would be straight forward, perhaps because they’re both Thai it’s the absolute opposite. Who knows?

I was more thinking along the lines of external pressure not to make Chansiri look any worse/weaker.

I think it's probably more the case that people just clicked on the thread to talk about the guy who is apparently the leading candidate and didn't pay too much attention to what is a really weird opening post

I think this is likely to be pragmatic- I think you will find most QPR fans are wanting a new striker next season as a priority. Goals scored last season were barely above 1 per game.

But they don’t have the quality out wide that we have. We have dangerous wingers who have goals in them. If we can bring the defenders out to occupy a false 9 with our wingers attacking the space it could be dangerous.

You’re probably right but in truth no one knows but I imagine dealing with either Chansiri or Ayiwatt and our DoF would make any deal more complicated!

Only we could end up paying compo for a manager who's been sacked

Exactly 

[mozartfox]

Is he in yet?  Need to switch sharpish our collective attention to shifting out the deadwood…..

[dannythefox]

Hope this is a massive smoke screen, got disaster written all over it if not 

[Fox 4 Life]

He definitely has a look of fat Spanish waiter about him

[Levi Port]

Biggest positive i see is that we have a squad that largely suits the style he would like to play. 
 

He will also play the style of football this squad wants to play, as post Enzo it’s evident most are wedded to that style of football and believe they’re good enough. 

[sylofox]

Ffs anyone seen him at Morrisons yet.

Simon Jordan says Cifuentes is a disloyal rodent. GET HIM IN. 
 

As usually SJ only sees one side of the story and ignores the other, Cifuentes had a complete breakdown in relationship with the CEO because of the direction of the club, just as Pearson did post promotion for example. 
 

If you’re in a role and you feel like your immediate boss is making decisions that actively harm your chances of success in your role and the effectively tell you to suck it up, of course you’re going to want to go somewhere else. 
 

The fact he’s willing to pay out of his own pocket some of the compensation money to join us, when he could easily just sit at home picking up a paycheck until a new job comes along is a good thing imo.

I think he bridges an important gap, he’s definitely closer to Enzo than for example Rohl or Klopp in approach, but he’s far less wedded to his setup, he plays to dominate the ball but he comes across to me as less patient to get shots on goal and is happy to let wingers run free and create chances rather than looking for the perfect moment. 
 

I think he could possibly be the compromise that gives us entertaining, fast paced football but blended with a style that focuses on ball retention.

I'm drooling at the thought of this behind Abdul.
