...by appointing Iain Dowie as manager.

Right, so you've got two wealthy, take-no-prisoners businessmen with the hardest of noses, they've got a sea of cash to spend (I assume) and a club that's risen comfortably from the threat of relegation to look forward to a rosy future.

And they get Spudface, himself.

If there's already a thread about this, replete with deviously-deceptive title, then mucho apologies, but I'll ask the obvious....why?

i think its a good appointment, especially as zidane was busy

Already one e-mail on 606: 'English players in the team and now an English manager. Dowie is the man'.

That's the sound of a chill running up the spine...

Why would you fire Di Canio to appoint Dowie?

Did Fabio just want someone around who is more physically repellent that he is? The old Briatore wouldn't let Dowie land on Sardinia, let alone let him into Billionaire.

This is very, very strange. I feel for Amor and our other R's.

Dowie, Zidane, much of a muchness really.

Is the fact that Dowie's title is ( I believe ) "First team coach" significant here?

They are going to get a General manager/Director of football type in and Dowie will be in his tracksuit 4/5 days a week, which he's pretty good at isn't he?

Edit: not wearing a tracksuit per se, more coaching.

Ah, that could potentially make more sense.

A Lippi/Dowie "dream team", perhaps.

As a Palace fan, I can confirm that the spudfaced liar is extremely good at the coaching & training, yet utterly hopeless in the buying of players.

My only hope is that the fradulent git is allowed to spunk away milions on rubbish signings for QPR.

He won't be.

QPR take delivery of Dowie



Yes, I know it's an old joke.

This story brought the topic of QPR's new badge into my eyeline, along with the usual bilge of 'rebranding, world brand, exciting future' blah blah blah.

Doesn't do it for me. Looks like the kind of thing I've seen on, say, the uniforms of private security guards loitering in shopping centres.

R's?

The R's are not amused (scroll to bottom of page).

Really.
