I hope he does well for them, quite a nice guy but as I have said before I really did not enjoy the football under him so regardless of the manner of his departure which has been done to death, thanks good luck but I could not care less.

Three different issues: 1) How QPR played under him (I obviously won't comment! 2) How he was axed (I won't comment again right now) 3) His "potential" as coach (There were a lot of highly complimentary things being said about him as coach. The question is whether QPR acted precipatorily - and got ridden of someone truly "Special"!

QPR played cautious defensive football under Sousa.
He was axed for talking to fans outside the ground, but I think we all have an idea that perhaps that was just an excuse.
His potential as a coach, I think could be very good only time will tell.
Would you not rather focus on Gorman and Magilton though Report rather than talking about a manager that lasted 20 odd games?
He's gone lets move on.

Sousa will be a massive success. I can see him managing someone like Arsenal in 5 years time, or at the very least, one of the big Portuguese teams in the Champions League. You dont treat someone of that standing in the game the way we did, we deserve everything that comes our way as a result, mainly scorn & derision. The football was pragmatic & professional, on the flip side, you could say it was dull & defensive, but then you would be missing the point, he was doing exactly what he could do with the players he was given, he was making a point to the board with every pragmatic professional / dull & defensive 0-0 draw. How do you expect me to play good football with no width ?! no wingers or full backs ??! The most laughable thing was when you had the usual bunch of sorry fat idiots trying to talk about Sousa like he was some kind of joke in football, no respect, in the end the joke was on Queens Park Rangers football club & it still is.

Alright, everybody ready to tear me apart.? so yes he is special, will manage someday in champions league or prem or Portugal.
So why in the world does he come to a club where the owner has the reputation of firing people because he had a bad headache.
Just look at what preceded him, a coach axed even when we are not doing too badly, manager after coach. He knew he wouldnt have any control when he came here. Ok charge your bowstrings. He came here only to make an entree into British football and
already knew something was waiting for him, so he shows his stuff first. How do I know, I dont, why do I think it, because to me nothing else makes much sense. Why did he leave, wont touch it.
Who makes phone calls to owners looking for jobs, wont touch it. Theres another possibility. He felt so talented and special that he would charm the kishkes out of brie who would be in awe of his football. This brilliant special talented man knows business as well as anyone. Being "special means nothing" unless the buyer can make money off it. This buyer doesnt believe he can make money off a small championship team with dropping attendances. He bought the club as a speculation that it could help him in the future in his other business enterprises. It helps his business portfolio, it can also help him with loans, diversions, help business in his overseas businesses. Go to a Bank and tell them you want to open a line of credit. So what are your holdings Sir. My potential, Im a specially talented football coach. Its the future.
Our team is owned by someone who sees the future as now, not the future of QPR but the future of his finanancial positions and holdings.

As a critique, I would say that it is true that Sousa does a lot of "Talking The Talk", but I do believe that giving the right backing / support he will both walk the walk & talk the talk in equal measure, its just a shame that wont be at our club. I nailed by colours to the mast early on, I felt in my heart that he was the one that was going to do a good job for us & finally move us forward, it was my opinion & I stand by it 100% Only a complete idiot can even think about defending the manner of his sacking, indefensible, simple as that. ONWARDS & UPWARDS!

OK moving on....
But I bet you that there re some fervidly and feverishly hoping that Sousa "fails" - however that is defined...So they can besmirch and besmear...Denigrate and defame...Mock and minimize... (Looking for a few more alliteratives...!)
