If those press stories are true, first: Best of luck to Iain Dowie...
Unless Briatore totally changes and butts out - or offers insane wages - can't imagine any successful English manager would come to QPR and work under Briatore after what he's been doing.
Being impatient for success/Putting pressure on the manager to succeed instantly: That ain't always too smart. But ok. But the team involvement - and so blatantly? Can't see it.
Ditto for any of the successful overseas coaches. So that leaves us either some English flop desperate for a job; or some overseas coach - would never say lackey! - And I'm not sure that's going to lead to great success.
And it's not as if Briatores poured in the tens of millions. Reminds of Romanov and Hearts.
And it's so illogical; since bottom line. We and Briatore both want QPR success/promotion, etc. And can't see how this is the way to go.

I agree but i cant understand why Dowie was appointted in the first place! I dont think Dowie was ever the first choice. I dont think the board could get a high profile manager in May. Thats why we got Dowie in the first place. Now it seems even more unlikley we will get a good man in the hotseat!

Well he knew Dow got a team into premier straightaway. He didnt care about any other issues. We will get an italian who speaks good english and knows what side to put olive oil on his Italian bread and can teach beautiful flowing football which induces transports of delight in Bari and Napoli ansd Brie. Hall, Agingman and Busak will be exempt because, well no matter how hard they try Brie relents and says"Ces non dansa que non pointa lets call the whole thing off. Jussa getme to Premier on time.

And if you think Flavio is bad - remember Fabio Capello's previous job before England Manager - he was coach of Real Madrid, who won the league, but he was still sacked, and they do not seem to have any problems filling the post of 1st team coach. |

I disagree. It is entirely possible that Flav is only interfering because things aren't going well. If things were going well he wouldn't be interfering. We will get an indication of intent when we know who is going to get the nod. If it is a successful established manager with a reputation and track record, then chances are he won't be interfering. If Ains keeps the job, then you could guess that Flav will stay involved.
As for the question as to who would take the job ... to use a couple of US examples that you will be familiar with -- the Yankees (baseball) never have any trouble filing the managers job inspite of George Steinbrenner and the Cowboys (American football) never have any trouble filing their managers job in spite of Jerry Jones.
