Yes; something that the people who want everyone in sight sacked never seem to address is who then is left to appoint their replacements ? Mrs Desai ?

No club in the Championship can hope to compete with Premier League clubs on the wages front.

Er no

Young men make mistakes - always have, always will. Main thing is he learns from it.

Football,mate. It happens.

I know what you mean,mate, but just have a look at the post below yours - I ask you ?

If true, good work by Mowbray.

Thanks. Must be a very difficult conversation for those at the club who have to tell a young man of 18 that unfortunately he's not going to make it. Even harder for him if he's the only one of his year who isn't going to go on.

I have never seen the player in question so am not in a position to express an opinion on this decision, if it has been correctly reported. But to be fair to those at the club who have to decide who goes on from youth level to the pro ranks, I can't offhand think of a single mistake in the last 10 years in failing to hold on to someone who proved to be any good.

Great spot by Mowbray to bring him in on loan

See above - but even so money etc does not guarantee happiness

I feel sorry for Lambert who I think has "gone" as a manager. As noted before on this thread the decision to give him that new contract looks like madness - unless there is some kind of break clause.

Brilliant !

They've also got a lot of players injured. Not the manager's fault.

Absolutely !

The poster I was asking works negative remarks about our manager on to this board regardless of the relevance. He even managed it on a discussion of the attendances at Newcastle United a couple of days ago.

QPR are certainly motivated.

What are your views on a manager whose team lose like that to 10 men ?

The great Alex Neil, eh ?

The Venkys share price is down about 30% over the last month .

Chris Brown surely.

They are also great supporters - yes.

That was a protest against the owner.

Success is relative. I think Darlington fans do deserve some success - but they are not going to win the FA Cup.

Rovers fans had a title win in 1995 and league cup in 2001. Newcastle fans have had nothing but are still there. I've had a quick look at past attendances at Ewood Park. Opening home game in 1984-85 v Carlisle had an attendance of 5,121. The 12,000 were nowhere to be seen.
