Post by QPR Report on Nov 2, 2008 7:54:33 GMT
Two, three years ago: The old messageboard refrain was sure our current manager is not the greatest (some disagreed!) but who'd want this job, with QPR's financial problems.
Of course there always were out-of-work managers ready to come to QPR even under those constraints.
Today, even without the flash spending some might have hoped for, QPR should be an attractive option for quite a few good managers.
Only this time, the drawback would seem to be the "working conditions" for/constraints upon the new QPR manager
Shame.
Others can draw up the list of those out there who we could probably get, if the QPR conditions were good:
Allardyce, Curbishley, Mancini, Venables and scores more (some probably currently in jobs)
Shame

And Updated: Express and People say: David O'Leary?
- Express" "Former Leeds and Aston Villa manager David O'Leary is in the frame to succeed Iain Dowie as QPR boss. (Sunday Express]" - BBC Gossip
SUNDAY PEOPLE - O'LEARY ALL SET FOR QPR -EXCLUSIVE By Steve Bates
David O'leary is the shock contender to take charge at QPR - with motorracing boss Eddie Jordan involved in brokering a deal to install him at Loftus Road.
I understand Irishman O'Leary is interested in the post and talks are planned with Rangers' owners Formula One bosses Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone and Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal.
O'Leary, 50, hasn't been in management since terminating his contract at Villa Park in July 2006 following criticism of then chairman Doug Ellis.

And this is the complete Express article. To be honest doesn't make too much sense. Briatore may be hands on. But if wants success, why O'Leary?
FOOTBALLQPR TARGET O'LEARY
Sunday November 2,2008
By Paul Hetherington DAVID O’LEARY has emerged as the main threat to QPR caretaker-manager Gareth Ainsworth being installed on a permanent basis.
Former Leeds United and Aston Villa boss O’Leary is firmly in the frame to succeed the sacked Iain Dowie at Loftus Road.
Ainsworth in known to have impressed one of the three co-owners of Rangers – Italian Flavio Briatore.
But O’Leary’s experience, style and availability appeal to ambitious Rangers – and have made him a serious contender for the job.
QPR are one of the richest clubs in the world in terms of the wealth of their owners – Formula One bosses Bernie Ecclestone and Briatore, plus multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who has a 20 per cent stake in the club.
Mittal has been described as the fourth richest man in the world.
Significantly, O’Leary is close to another influential figure in the motor racing world, fellow Irishman Eddie Jordan.
With that amount of financial clout, Rangers have become one of the most appealing clubs in the country, particularly to high profile, out-of-work managers

It was all supposed to get easier when the floods of money miracuously arrived. Brie said on his interview wil take time as long as we play good football? Well whatever happens this is a totally new QPR. The press has got hold of it and made a meal out of it. Thats their job. The sudden jump to Richville and be a Stoke or a Hull with these guys in charge will happen. But we dont know when., but you can be sure it wont be a quiet smooth ride.
