I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that Harford will get us good again and will still be here at the end of next season. He should have been given a chance last time around.
I have no concerns now of us sliding into a relegation scrap.
Whadya think?

Neither one of them has any idea how to run a football club though they pretend they do. They are football fans, and love the game so says the Guardian. Pellicori, Alberti, who Hart wanted to send packing, one could see how terriffic they were. They never played. So thats worth canning a manager after 5 days plus telling Tarababy to shut his trap?. Absolutely when it isnt football that you love but the kind of money you can make for yourselves, if it is done your way and the whole board and other investors are sold out to this concept, which they must be since hardly is heard a negative word.

Report trust me. I wouldn't lie to you. I will happily accept I told you so's if I'm proved wrong. But I feel strangely confident with Harford at the helm. I believe he will get the best out of the current squad. More by luck than by judgement, but I believe the board may just have got their 4 year plan back on track.

OK I definitely don't think he'll be here at the end of next season. That sort of thing doesnt happen at QPR>
I don't think he's incompetent. I think he's less than Gregory, Dowie, Sousa, Holloway ...
I do find those posts I've read about how players won't dare to stand up to Harford. ..Isn't that what we just had with Magilton.
But hey, I have no problem with Harford. Just queries (and I found that long friendship with Briatore quote, very strange) Edit: "Briatore is a personal friend of mine, I've known him a long, long time."
Hope he works

Mick Harford did a good job last time he was here, I remember sitting in the Charlton end when we went down there & beat them 1-0 felt very proud to be a QPR fan that day, havent felt like that for a long time, maybe that was the last time I felt like that.
Truth is, we arent going up & we arent going down, in a division as poor as this division has been this year, I think thats a very depressing thing to say in January. No cup run, no nothing. Players that I feel absolutely nothing for. Yes, of course its depressing.

I will say when we appointed De Canio, I thought we should have stuck with Harford at least a while longer. Not permanent appointment. After the initial loss (Colchester?) we won several.

In my opinion, Gregory should not have gone, West Brom was awful but I think he already knew. Di Canio was Briatore's man. Paladini appointed Gregory and obviously put Harford in temporary charge knowing he was gone, whatever results he achieved. Paladini brought in the players Gregory wanted and had selected from the 5 mill promised by Briatore from the new investors. Di Cannio reaped the benefit of Gregory's selections. Therefore, had Gregory stayed, with Harford, we would most likely be a premier team by now. We may well be struggling in the prem but we would have received all the promised investment funds from the various sponsors along with the premier league money and would be pretty well off. There are a number of fairly rubbish teams in the prem and if you swap the bottom six with the top six from the championship little difference would be noticed. Lawd only knows what the wage bill would be be given what it is now though Edit: Forgot to say, I agree with superckat to a degree, not sure about the tenure but I think he is more likely to receive backing than Hart, or others, still cannot, for the life of me, understand why Hart was ever brought in anyway.

Noted on dot.org - The SKy Video Interview with Harford. Correction: Harford says long association/friendship with GIANNI PALADINI (NOT BRiatore).... Now isn't that interesting that Paul Hart "chose" Harford as his coach despite no real association... Video: www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,12606_5862889,00.html

"Harford says long association/friendship with GIANNI PALADINI (NOT BRiatore)....
Now isn't that interesting that Paul Hart "chose" Harford as his coach despite no real association..." Could we be anymore unprofessional

It was pretty clear to me that Harford was Paladini's choice.
Who on earth chose Hart though? Maybe it was a crafty way round getting harford in charge.
Remember, Gregory only joined us due to his friendship with Paladini. We had fekkall else to offer him at the time.

HOpe Harford didn't report back to Paladini while he was working for Hart.
The nice thing about Gegory: You had the feeling that he had Paladini under HIS Thumb! (I remember the BBC Forum with Gregory, Paladini and was it Bignot)
