Marc Bircham has rejected an approach to take over as director of football at Nottingham ForestThe QPR youth coach, who made more than 150 appearances as an R’s player, was offered the role at the Championship club, where former Loftus Road chairman Gianni Paladini has recently been involved in an advisory capacity. Forest remain interested in appointing Bircham but have so far been told he is keen to stay put. Bircham has been asked to manage a newly created development squad at QPR as part of major changes to the club’s structure. www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/bircham-rejects7-nottingham-forest-job83-offer/

I'm sure it took him 5 seconds to work out he didn't want to have anything to do with GP "professionally" again.

Not sure if you all know this but a few weeks ago Bircham completed his EUFA Pro License so he is now fully qualified to be a manager.
Really think he will be QPR manager one day.

Flashback to 2008 Bircham QPRNet Q*A "...MB: Yeh it does affect you cos it filters down, that started us being a bit of a joke team in the media really, there was a story about us every week and it was never anything to do with what was going on on the pitch. There were always rumours of administration and that didn’t help and then Olly got the sack. At the time we had loads of injuries but we were still in about eleventh place and they sacked him. I think the only reason we stayed up that years was because we ran out of games. Waddo came in and that was a bit of a disaster to be honest. He’s done really well at Aldershot and perhaps if he was allowed to do things his way it would have been different but he was a bit of a puppet really. We had that pre-season in Italy the following summer and they left me behind as well as people like Lomas, Doherty and Evatt, I think we had a better team at home than the one that went. It set it all up for the season to go badly, then we got locked out of the training ground because the bill hadn’t been paid, it was just a shambles really. ... ...: Yeh but I’m a man of principles and I wouldn’t buckle to that. They wanted me and Kev to do a press conference welcoming the decision and welcoming Gary Waddock in and I wouldn’t do it because I didn’t believe in it. I thought the way Olly was treated was terrible especially after everything he did for the club. If they wanted rid of him they should have given him the decency of sacking him not putting him on gardening leave. They were just trying to save money and I thought he deserved more than that. I’m not one of those players to kiss up the Chairman, I didn’t believe it was right and I stuck to my morals and that probably was the downfall of my time with Paladini really. I wouldn’t change it though, I’m a loyal person if someone’s good to me I’m loyal to them. ...: It was weird, Gary Waddock was a central midfielder like me of course and I’ve known him since I was about ten. He was being dictated to but he didn’t want to admit that because it would have undermined him. The players coming in weren’t good enough and all the lads knew we’d be battling relegation which is how it turned out. I did feel let down by Waddo to be honest, I’d like have a chat with him one day because I would like to think he regrets the way he handled me. .. ....Ultimately it was down to my relationship with Gianni to be honest, I don’t think he liked that me and Kev cared so much for the club and we didn’t like what he was doing to it, plus I believe he hated the fact we had a better relationship with the fans than he did ETC www.qprnet.com/interviews/bircham.shtmlRead more: qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=241&page=1#933#ixzz201cV3ZAc

To be honest its a massive job for somebody so new to that side of the game. We all know about palladini's transfer dealings so my guess is Birch would end up as some sort of patsy. We know what a slippery little sod gianni is he'd be stuck defending himself while gianni swanned around buying italian 4 th division players on 5 year deals

Fancey trying to entice a real QPR fan away from the club? DOH! However Paladini and his very few friends should jump at the chance to go to Forest. Although Arsenal , Man U & West Ham might miss them.
