afternoon all, It seems that this afternoon that Roy Keane has gone to evens on the tote, which has caused a split amongst us rangers fans, the other names in the list don't seem to cause the same amount of indignation, it reminds me of when Iain Dowies name was mentioned on $ky by ITK Kammy last year, has anyone seen him about to if there is anyone else that we have not thought of that can stop us talking about the Keane man? the list is here, www.skybet.com/skybet?action=GoEvType&id=10002896also can anyone else see an inverted symmetry with the odds of Ipswich towns quest for a manager? It is funny how we judge a type of manager for a type of club. looking at the list what do you think our list of possible contenders tell a neutral about our club and our style of football? time starts when you turn your papers over!!!!! ;D

If we appoint LDC as most think, the neutrals will know what we have known for ages.

At Ipswich, Hoddle supposedly favourite. And he does fit the Ipswich style and the Ipswich-England Manager connection.
Whoever is our new manager, will be interesting to see whether a good guage of our owners' happiness (or otherwise) , by guaging the level of praise/or criticism on a board.

What I don't understand is why the club let all these rumours circulate that De Canio had been axed without issuing any statement comparable to the one they issued last week or week before.James Higgs at May 15, 2008 - Telegraph QPR ditch De Canio for Dowie So much for managerial stability: QPR have replaced manager Luigi De Canio with Iain Dowie. I'm not happy. First of all, Dowie is surely among the ugliest men ever to play football, and just think how hard that is to achieve. Granted, Carlos Tevez has changed the ugly game entirely in recent years, but no one, not even Mrs Dowie, is going to accuse our new gaffer of being sexy. I joke, of course. It's the football that needs to be sexy for our new global brand, which must be why Dowie beat the other two rumoured candidates, Steve McClaren and Sam Allardyce, neither known for their crowd-pleasing tendencies. But Dowie's not known for much himself except walking out on a club only to join their near neighbours, and for wearing a silly earpiece thing that makes him look like an extra from Star Trek. I'm disappointed because I thought De Canio had done an excellent job. When he took over we were odds-on relegation candidates, and yet we finished in comfortable mid table. Along the way, we played some of the most attractive football QPR fans have seen for years. But that wasn't good enough for Flav and Bernie; they have a plan. In their cold, businessmen's brains, hiring a guy for three years and then sacking him after six months makes sense. Rumours persist that De Canio, like a certain other Italian coach working in England, had trouble learning the language. If only he'd had a few months with no games to take the time to learn it. Oh, wait, that can't be it. No, I think this was always part of the plan. Let the players go off on holiday so they can't group together and start bitching about it, and then pull the trigger now that the first milestone on the plan, survival, has been reached. To be fair, if they were always going to do it, at least they've given Dowie the entire summer to plan the next campaign. De Canio had given an enthusiastic interview to the BBC the day before he "left by mutual consent". In it he admitted that he leaned heavily on Chairman (now Sporting Director) Gianni Paladini, a former agent, for transfer advice because of his unfamiliarity with English players. Of course Dowie doesn't have that problem, so it'll be interesting to see whether Paladini lets him get on with it. There might be trouble if he doesn't. Ultimately, results will show whether Flav and Bernie were right to choose Dowie, but they won't resolve the question of whether QPR could have achieved the same, or better, results under Gigi, and in a more attractive way. One thing is for sure: Rangers fans, me included, will remember De Canio with a great deal of affection. We forgave him some poor performances and some bizarre substitutions, but I'm not sure Dowie will be granted the same indulgence. It really is a results game these days at QPR. blogs.telegraph.co.uk/james_higgs/blog/2008/05/15/qpr_ditch_de_canio_for_dowie

He's much derided, but I'd take Kevin Keegan over quite a few of the touted people. Just appoint him. Get out of his way. "Move" Paladini. And leave it to Keegan.

The next manager should be good in Europe. "I wonder if one day that you'll say that you care"
