surrifox Posted 7 February 2006 Posted 7 February 2006 According to a story in the papers the Board approached a number of clubs and asked permission to speak to the manager. The discussion would have included terms for compensation. In the case of QPR City agreed that compo would be paid and the amount- this would clear all the hurdles and the Board would then speak and agree terms with a selection of managers and then announce their preferred candidate. It looks like QPR have used this process as a lever to get the manager out without sacking him
bald reynard Posted 7 February 2006 Posted 7 February 2006 My email to Tim Davies: ------------------------------------------- Tim, I have been a fan of the club for many years and will follow you through thick and thin but would be utterly distraught if Ian Holloway was made our new manager as reported in News of the World today. I am certainly not alone in this - take a look at a thread on this on the Foxestalk forum - not a single good word top be said about him: http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.ph...pic=16434&st=40 To give my humble opinion Mike Newell or Martin Allen would be my preferred choice of manager (or obviously Neil Lennon with an experienced assistant) but if neither of these two were available I'd be happy to let Rob Kelly carry on whilst the results are going in our favour. I wouldn't normally email you because I'm sure you must be inundated with messages from fans but this report really did terrify me - please, please ensure that Holloway isn't the new man (or Peter Reid, John Gregory, Gudjon Thordason, Gary McCallister or any of the other dodgy names that have been bandied about for that matter). Thanks for taking the time to read this - I know money at the club is tight bt if there is one area that we cannot scrimp on it's the manager - I'd rather have a good manager and no new signings for a year than a poor, underachieving one and money available for transfers. Regards, Steve Wilson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And his reply: ---------------------------------------------------------- agree with you re the good manager , dont believe all you read in the papers ---------------------------------------------------------- A very good sign and certainly a relief for me I e-mailed Tim Davies - with exactly the same thoughts - and got a very similar reply (proof that he does read and properly respond to each mail sent to him - well done Tim !). I'm confident now that Holloway is "all newspaper talk" and we can get on with thinking about Newell v Kelly (or as I said in my e-mail to Tim Davies, Newell as boss and Kelly as his assistant)
