24 March 1959 from www.11v11.com
Jesse Carver resigned as Tottenham Hotspur coach after only four months in the job. A former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United centre-half he was looked upon as one of the finest managers on the continent in the post-war era having managed six Italian sides and the Dutch national side as well as a short spell at Coventry City. As a player he made 213 League appearances between 1931 and 1939.
24 March 1959
Watford appointed Ron Burgess as manager. One of the finest Welsh wing-halves of all time he joined Tottenham Hotspur in 1936 and made his debut in February 1938 at Norwich. After the War he captained Spurs to their successive Second and First Division Championships in 1950 and 1951. He first represented Wales in unofficial matches during the War and when peacetime football resumed he was an automatic choice until 1954 making 31 appearances. He was given a free transfer in the summer of that year and joined Swansea Town first as a player and then as manager. His appointment at Watford lasted until June 1963.
24 March 1961
Burnley were fined £1,000 for fielding ten reserves in a League match against Chelsea a week before their F.A. Cup semi-final. Ironically they drew 4-4 in the League but lost 3-1 to Spurs in the Cup. This was a record fine for this offence at the time but in 1966 Everton were fined £2,000 for the same thing and fines have grown ever since. happy birthday to.......

And from FIVE years ago: March 24, 2008BBC Gossip "QPR are set to launch their new kit on Tuesday and club owner Flavio Briatore has lined up his supermodel friend Naomi Campbell to show it off. "The Times - QPR becoming a club of model professionals Queens Park Rangers’ changing face will be underlined tomorrow when Naomi Campbell is expected to parade the club’s kit for next season (Gary Jacob writes). The supermodel will unveil the largest sponsorship deal in the club’s history. Campbell is a friend of Flavio Briatore, the QPR owner. QPR have made an agreement with Lotto Sport Italia to become kit manufacturer and Kingfisher, the beer company, to sponsor their shirts. The relationships are intertwined. Vijay Mallya is chairman of Kingfisher, which is also an airline. Mallya owns the Force India Formula One team. Briatore is the Renault team principal. QPR are looking for a location for a new stadium in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. They have considered a site near Wood Lane, now occupied by the BBC, and a ground-share with Fulham or Chelsea has also been mooted.

Edit:
8 Years Ago: re Taarabt possibly being sent back to Spurs...!Warnock can make it work for Taarabt24 March 2010 HARRY Redknapp believes QPR's on-loan midfielder Adel Taarabt has the potential to become a 'world beater' under new boss Neil Warnock. Former Rangers manager Jim Magilton, exasperated by Taarabt's fluctuating form, was keen to shorten his season-long loan and arrange his early return to White Hart Lane. But the Moroccan has begun to find some consistency since Warnock's arrival earlier this month and Redknapp feels the player will continue to flourish. "He's had good spells, he's had bad spells. QPR wanted to send him back halfway through the loan at one stage," the Tottenham boss confirmed. "I said 'we can't take him back, it's a season-long loan', so they were upset with that. "But since Neil's been there, he's found some form and he's playing very well. And when he has good days, he's a world-beater - he's got great ability. "When Adel puts it all together he can be an amazing player. I'm sure Neil's getting the best out of him now. Everybody else tried at QPR, but if anyone can sort him out it'll be Neil Warnock. "Maybe he's responding to Neil's management style and he's getting the best out of him." But Redknapp made it clear that the Rs can forget hopes of luring the 20-year-old to Loftus Road on a permanent basis. "He's under contract here and he'll come back next year unless Real Madrid or Barcelona pick up the phone. That's where he sees himself playing! "He's got to get on with his football, try to make his way in the game and become the player that he could become with the ability he's been given.

Edit: Also 9 Years AGOMarch 24, 2010 - When Saturday Comes (WSC)/Thom Gibbs
Hope for stability at Queens Park Rangers24 March - After six games Neil Warnock is almost a third of the way through his tenure as QPR manager. Admittedly this prediction is based on the nebulous statistic that the club’s five "permanent" managerial appointments since Flavio Briatore's 2007 takeover have lasted on average 21 games, but another swift departure would be unsurprising given my club's recent track record. As with anything in football a purely statistical analysis is misleading. Naked numbers barely do justice to the mad turmoil at Rangers since the buyout: 11 people have taken charge of the team, 47 players have been signed permanently or on loan and we've had six managers this season alone. These are crazy figures but they don't come close to evoking the tangible disquiet among the fanbase that has made Loftus Road a very unpleasant place for most of the last two seasons. Becoming a joke club isn't as funny as it sounds. By the time of Paul Hart's farcical exit after just five games in January I'd given up trying to write replies to friends' text messages. I didn't want to talk about it, I felt appalled by the club. We'd become too absurd to be amusing, just churning out C-list material for the "breaking news" ticker on Sky Sports News. While Warnock is due his P45 in mid-August statistically speaking, the new mood emanating from the club and its fans tells a different story. Briatore stepped down as chairman in February, improbably making way for the popular duo of Amit Bhatia and Ishan Saksena. Both are connected to the Mittal family, who increased their shareholding in the reshuffle. Saksena is the new chairman, saying when appointed "our fans are the real owners of this club". Not a controversial statement, but a long way from Briatore openly deriding the feelings of supporters who pay £20 a fortnight to watch the Rs. Warnock appears a viable long-term appointment and he seems re-energised away from the misery of administration at Crystal Palace, speaking of "looking forward to every game" – quite a feat for a 61-year-old. With Bhatia and Saksena's sensible public statements preaching stability and more transparency between club and supporters the mood has predictably picked up on matchdays. Another stat: 15,502 watched Rangers draw with Swansea on Saturday. The Swans brought a good travelling support, but that's up more than 2,000 on this season's average at a time when QPR have little to play for. Supporters around me, the sane ones at least, seem to be encouraging players when they would have been slating them a couple of months ago. Every member of the team suddenly seems to be doing a lot more running and purposeful pointing. As Clive Whittingham has been saying for months on his excellent QPR site Loft For Words, it doesn't take a genius to work out that a well run club needs to appoint a good manager, assign him a realistic set of goals, support him financially and then leave him to get on with it. This is the blueprint Rangers must now follow in a potentially crucial period of the club's history. Worryingly the erratic Briatore remains an ominously large shareholder and divisive ex-agent-cum-charming-chairman-cum-liability Gianni Paladini is still at the club despite his foibles. Extravagant millionaire owners promising Champions League football to a middling Championship club was never likely to end in glory, and there's every chance that this is false dawn number 104 of an ongoing series. For the time being I'm enjoying watching QPR again and it feels like, as our support has sung recently, "We’ve got our Rangers back".
