Lads,
A few years in another life, i was serving queen and country and a part time QPR fan living in East Devon, (when i was in the UK).At that time we were about to go into a dark abyss and not re-surface for another 17 odd years.
We did have though, a manager at the top of his game, good tactician,good disciplinarian, and someone who ran the football club his way.................and then he left.
I wrote a letter to GF asking him not to go............i did recieve a reply.
Cheers,
Jay

25 Years ago a few days ago: QPR Played Liverpool at Loftus Road....AND Won
But the big story was Rodney Marsh in the Stands set to be appointed General Manager or Chief Executive of QPR....under Chairman Richard Thompson
Gerry Francis reacted by...Resigning (and taking over at Tottenham)...an we know what happened at QPR...
This was Francis' last Loftus Road game in charge
AFter this game, there was Newcastle away - and then the Official Francis Resignation a few days later
The game
Rodney Marsh Interview on QPR Net a few years ago
QPRnet.com: When you were in discussion for the Chief Executives position at QPR could you see problems at Rangers then that ultimately led to our collapse?
RM: No is the short answer! A lot of people were anti Richard Thompson at the time but I always found him to be an extremely astute businessman and a very clever man too. I certainly didn’t see the demise of QPR, all I saw was potential success. QPR’s collapse coincided with Richard Thompson leaving the club and Chris Wright taking over. You couldn’t possibly predict it at that time and I don’t think you can blame Richard Thompson.
QPRnet.com: After the job offer was withdrawn your reputation took a bit of a battering amongst Rangers fans, do you feel you came out of that situation unfairly?
RM: I did take a battering yes but I’ve always looked at life as being relative and what I do, what I’ve always done and what I continue to do on television that gets me into trouble is I tell the truth! The problem is people are offended by the truth sometimes. I told the absolute truth about the situation at the time and when I’m asked now I tell the absolute truth. I don’t bullshiteeeeeeeeeeeee and if people don’t like the truth then F*** them.
QPRnet.com: I think at the time people saw it as you trying to muscle in on Gerry Francis and certainly from reading your autobiography that doesn’t seem to be the case.
RM: Well I told the truth at the time, I told it in the book and I’ll tell it to you again now. The first thing I said to Richard Thompson was before we do anything I want to meet with Gerry Francis. That was the first thing I said, so how in the world that ever got misplaced I don’t know.
