Life After Depor...

Go for Huddersfield. Sometimes get a really nice budget if promoted to the PL and would be a decent challenge.
I may be biased though :)

Keep up with Notts, See how this season develops, Already looks like an improvement is on the cards from last season and if you sneak promotion they may even give you a decent WB/TB to play with!

Q.P.R. Unveil Manuel Pablo

View attachment 292749

Queens Park Rangers chairman, Tony Fernandes, has today announced former Notts County boss Manuel Pablo as the clubs new manager.

Manuel Pablo has impressed in his short time at Notts, taking the side from relegation candidates to promotion challengers in less then 12 months, however the move is seen as a gamble by many with the Spaniard's time at Notts his only management experience.

Q.P.R. currently sit in 19th on the championship table after a disappointing start to the year that saw Ian Holloway removed as manager.

Squad Overview & Key Players

Sandro

The former Tottenham DM is, without a doubt, the best of the bunch. Upon Manuel's arrival he was obviously unhappy at being relegated, however after a brief chat he has committed himself to helping the club bounce back to the top flight. Good news as he will be a vital cog in the QPR midfield & just the sort of dedication Manuel was after.






View attachment 292659 Leroy Fer

Another unhappy camper following the clubs relegation but unlike Sandro, Leroy does not want to help the club get back to the top. Manuel is obviously disappointed by that but in the end a return to the Premier League will require commitment from all involved so if he cant offer him that he has no business being here!

The guy is obviously a talent though so a 12M asking price seems fair to Manuel.






View attachment 292658

Jose Antonio Reyes

Not the same player he was 10 years or so ago when he played for the Arsenal but the Spaniard will still be key for QPR. His skill on the ball, flair, vision & ability to pick out a pass will be important factors in unlocking Championship defences & his experience may prove invaluable in the push for promotion.

Expectations

View attachment 292655

Only a mid table finish expected by the board after the bad start. The Championship will obviously be tough however, with the squad & funds at Manuel's disposal he is hoping the guys can make a late run at the playoffs!

Absolute nightmare performance. Managed to concede both an own goal & a penalty! Luckily JA Reyes spared our blushes with a couple of late goals.

Goals - Taylor (7), Berntsen (37), Rosenior, OG (39), Flint (66, pen), Reyes (68, 88)

P.O.M. - Jose Antonio Reyes (QPR)

Manuel's Musings

"Not the start I'd hoped for at my new club. 3 draws from 3 matches, 2 of which were against relegation contenders! On the plus side I suppose I can boast an undefeated record...

The squad is not as strong as I'd imagined it to be. Yes we have some very talented players but we are thin on numbers in just about every position & a lot of the players we do have are still upset at being relegated. For the most part I have convinced them to stay on & help us achieve our goals but if results don't improve it wont be long before they are asking to leave again."

Q.P.R. have today secured the signature of former Juventus goalkeeping prodigy Nicola Leali. The Italian youngster arrives as new manager Manuel Pablo's second free signing since arriving from Notts County in November.

Leali has often been referred to as the next Gianluigi Buffon & his arrival at the London club has come as a surprise to many pundits.

Bournemouth 0 - Q.P.R 1

Goals - Strandberg (61)

Two In row as we scrape a hard fought win & keep a clean sheet to boot. Sandro was immense screening the back 4!

Q.P.R. 0 - Chelsea 2

Goals - Costa (29), Cuadrado (38)

P.O.M. - Juan Caudrado (Chelsea)

No real surprise here. We held our own but for a 15 minute spell where they blew us away. Think they had plenty in reserve tbf.

Q.P.R. 1 - Brighton 2

Goals - Traore (25), Sandro (44), Baldock (48,pen)

Very unlucky in this match. Dominated from the off but conceded a penalty & just couldn't break them down after that.

Q.P.R. 1 - Fulham 1

Goals -Willis (21), Mitroglou (22)

Fell asleep after taking the lead & never recovered. Once again Sandro impressed protecting the defence.

Brighton 2 - Q.P.R. 3

Goals - Greer (22), Strandberg (25), Keane (45), Hamalainen (73), Bostwick (90+3)

A Bostwick bullet in the dying seconds gets us some revenge after being unlucky in our previous meeting.

Watford 0 - Q.P.R. 3

Goals - Murphy (2, 12, 41)

P.O.M. - Daryl Murphy (QPR)

Big Daryl couldn't miss in this match, in fact his 3rd goal was only our 4th shot on goal! A nil all draw on most other days.

Player of the Month

No prizes for guessing Sandro, the Brazilian DM has been mighty for us defensively this month winning us points with his last ditch tackling & faultless positional play.

Manuel's Musings

A much better month this one. Our midfield has really stood up & taken control of games. Along with POM Sandro, Abou Diaby is beginning to find his feet & develop a nice combination with Samba Diakite, who I have been starting ahead of Leroy Fer (the latters first touch losing us the ball far too often).

In the league we record 4 wins, 1 draw & a loss for a grand total of 13 points which moves us into 9th position only 5 points from the playoffs.

A loss to Chelsea in the Capital one Cup was to be expected although it would have been nice to get one over our London rivals, not to mention that Mourinho *******!

QPR have today confirmed the capture of Russian International Denis Cheryshev. The dynamic winger arrives from Real Madrid for a reported fee of 1.6 million with fans already excited by the prospect of seeing their new man in action.

The deal wraps up a busy first week of the January window for the London club who have also sold Canadian winger Junior Hoilett to Derby County for 2 Million, announced that Uruguayan striker Diego Ifran will join the club on loan from Real Sociedad & confirmed that French winger Jires Kembo-Ekoko will join the club at the beginning of next year.

Denis Cheryshev

Absolutely stoked with this signing! Cheryshev looks to be almost the perfect winger. At any other club he'd have been a key member of the first team but at Real Madrid he was surplus to requirements & we've picked him up for 1.6M which in my book is an absolute steal! I have no doubt that he has the potential to go on to be a club legend.

Diego Ifran

A bit of a value signing here. Felt as though our attack was a bit one dimensional with my current options (Carlos Strandberg & Daryl Murphy) so bought Diego in on loan paying just 20% of his wages & slipping a buy fee of 300K in just incase he impressed. Obviously not a key player but handy none the less.

Jires Kembo-Ekoko

Have taken a bit of a gamble here. Jires is not a player I'm familiar with nor can I scout him. Have decided to bring him in on a free at seasons end because he ticks a lot of boxes for what I'm looking for. As long as his work Rate & Stamina aren't at the lowest end of the spectrum I think he will do well. I hope!

Fer Out, Palacios in!



View attachment 291288

In what can only be described as a bizarre set of circumstances QPR boss Manuel Pablo has today announced that Dutch international midfielder Leroy Fer would be leaving the club on a free transfer to join Italian side Parma.

The move comes as a shock to many as the Spanish boss had previously slapped a 12M price tag on Fer.

To add even more intrigue to the situation the Spaniard has simultaneously unveiled Honduran International Wilson Palacios as the Dutchman's direct replacement.

Pundits are at a loss to explain the bizarre deals questioning the logic of swapping a Dutch international in his prime with an Honduran, who at 31, has perhaps seen better days. Time will tell on this one folks....

Manuel Pablo sez: Hmmm, Fer 30k p/w, Palacios 3k p/w & Palacios doesn't have the first touch of an arthritic pensioner! Do the math people!

Am just about finished with January &, not to let the cat out of the bag, but there is at least one more big signing to unveil. Bit of a risky one but I'm excited!
 
"Lord Bendtner"

Seals Return to London!


View attachment 290978


QPR have today unveiled the self proclaimed "Best striker in the world", Nicklas Bendtner, as the clubs latest addition.

The Danish striker arrives for the cut price fee of 450K after failing to lock down a first team role at German club Wolfsburg. For his part Bendtner was typically reserved declaring the deal " the biggest bargain of all time." & going on to declare himself "the best marksmen in English football."

Great story mate. I've got a feeling Bendtner is going to fire you in to the Premiership!

Yea mate, amazed at the funds they had at their disposal despite relegation. I even agreed to work with lower budgets to get the job!

Well the Russian winger is a decent signing! What happened with Fer though?!

He kept losing the ball in midfield so had been starting Diakite instead (who has actually complimented Diaby perfectly) & in the end I thought why pay him 30K p/w to sit on the bench? Wilson can do that or a 10th of the price!

tried to get something for him but in the end I was happy enough to let him go for free as I used his wage to bring in Bendtner.
