This is the best podcast relating to QPR everything pointed out in this edition is spot on our recruitment has been awful, as pointed out by Kevin in a previous addition of the podcast buying average foriegn players to play in the Championship is a massive gamble which is proving a disater !
Both Spot on re Masdon he reminds me of a player that played in a Pub team that my sons played in he used to run around in midfield making sure he didn't touch the ball
Just watching Sky Commentator on the Leeds game, saying QPR just havn’t turned up, not one shot on goal, and Celar had an absolute nailed on chance….and shot so poorly it was embarrassing! Now 5 points from safety, and seemingly doomed to go down without so much as a whimper. Just how bad does it have to get before MC goes?
straight im agreeing with kev...lack of pace badly, who is worse though celar or madsen or santos...my bet is you can find better than all 3 in the national league
How on earth can we have the same head of recruitment for so long, when poor recruitment has plagued this club for over a decade? Time for heads to roll imo
Funnily i did a post on one of our fb groups saying exactly what Kev has just said on here and got slated saying i know nothing about football. Glad to see Kev doesn't either 😂😂 But i make both of you totally right on everything. Outside looking in, the club at the moment looks a shambles with so many issues going on all over the place at the same period. Fans saying we have to supports the lads and not have a go at them but sometimes thats needed to get them to wake up and change what they're doing wrong. The manager also needs to stop tinkering with players positions, i get we've got injuries but some of these choices are ridiculous. We also never seem to have anywhere near a settled side in terms of playing together and building partnerships. Again that could be due to injuries but even when they were fit it was chop and change left right and centre. I wonder if those in recruitment are facing questions too or do they keep getting away scott free
By the way our back up left back is playing very well every week in Scotland. Bother inspired choice. We didn't even include a recall clause. Not even for January
David, As a globally experience management consultant, my first question is always about where the leadership derives ... it always come from the top. But who is really at the top ... invisible owners, a commercially adolescent CEO, a cyclical recruitment director or an impossibly compromised coach. In my experience managers need to be allowed to manage. But allow the front liners to say what they need ... probably my only criticism of MC is knowing how to deal at this level. Not easy. But please don't recycle him.
I agree about Madsen and Celar I said this at the beginning of the season they have no presence on the pitch which is killing the team we also need a left back
There is stuff going on at board and subsequently at ceo level. Why hire a kid who just started a consultation company with zero football experience who then decides to appoint himself ceo and dog.. Whilst keeping belk as head of recruitment who gas a terrible record at the club re his successful signings. It's almost like nourry is the son of a close friend of a major shareholder...
I've already consigned ourselves to div. 1. I can't see this squad or management turning this around, they simply are not good enough for the Championship. The signings are not good enough, so the CEO's data recruitment plan has failed. The owners were hoodwinked by the CEO's promises. He is an inexperienced kid trying to run a football club. That is a really poor decision that is costing the club dearly. Time for new owners, CEO, and most of the squad. Sorry, but I have never seen such a lack of quality at QPR in 4 decades. I hope I can eat my words, but I doubt it. 4:31
Like Kev said Masden & Celar are just not good enough for the Championship, that's nearly 5 million for 2 useless players, I've been patient with Celar but fed up with him now.
Sad fact is, we're dissing Madsen here, but he's our second highest goalscorer! Concerning. Tactically & Formation wise, this 3 at the back looks awful compared to last seasons 433 which suited us so much better.
Anyone watching the game could see the left hand side was a weakness. Doak was slicing and dicing Santos and of course both goals in the first ½ came from that side.
Hi Guys, great show as always. I have a theory. One of the reasons why we recruited poorly and with players not familiar with the championship is , because we couldn't afford experienced championship players or some gems from the lower leagues. I may be wrong. What do you think?
Great podcast David. On the Director of Recruitment issue, is there any truth in the rumour that he is often remote from Dubai? I read it somewhere and cannot believe that would be the case.
As always Magic Hat calling it straight. Santos Madsen Celar All not good enough as their performances and stats prove. Get larkeche back. Get some hard working players in jan. get rid of Celar and get a striker.
It looks like MC is a dead man walking. He clearly didn't ask for these players? what manager would? There are lads in league 1 and 2 who can run around and put a tackle in. Why are we touring Europe to spend money on a guy who is no better than a lad who lives and plays in the English league??? Something is going on that we are not allowed to know.
The Leeds game could be the last straw......MC could be part of a financial restraints policy....no money, no signings.......Div 1 next season with Marti......
I love MC. brilliant for us last season incredible and I would love him to be out manager for a long time...however he's not without blame and is complicit with the signings given a) he allowed then to come in ..over his head possibly b) he signed a new deal in September so must have been OK with the set up
The youngsters are the ones taking the spotlight all over the world now because theyve been given the chance to go out and express themselves it is also naive to not mention Kolli when half the episode is complaining about celar . Kolli is our best prospect but treated badly by the club and it is beyond me how he does not play over celar or even given the chance and proper minutes to show something of himself.
i really dont know what to say , apart from im so distraught at what QPR has become. madsen and celar look a total waste of money and the rest look gutless. ( cookie seems to give 100% ) but there is no passion and pride . i dont know the answer and im fed up of complaining on various other youtube vids and instagram posts but i will say one thing .............'super kevin gallen!!!!!'
Hey Madse, in football you have midfielders who help the attack and defense, they also tackle the other players to win the ball...would u mind doing this ..thank you
GET rid of nardi he is shit. Why does he always plays around in 5 yard box you can't even stop a simple shot but you want to dribble the ball in your area in front of opposing side total crap learn to save a ball leave dribbling OUT
Kevin, why are you all so hypocritical? You know it takes time to form a team. Everyone including yourself all praised Marty. Now we have young players who need time. Marty has not had this time, we are losing and now everyone is pointing the gun at him. It is terriable for me to see this but I love the Rs. I am a fan who sticks by my team. Be crictical but dont slag the trainer down by being hypocritical. The easiest thing in the world is to criticise, so please be fair and get by the team. I think Ainsworth must be laughing his head off. Just one more thing, Sir Alex took along time before United started winning trophies. I just hope Marty has the last laugh, Come on you Rs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recruitment is definitely an issue. However, I don’t see the issue with the recruitment team attending QPR games - every professional match across the world is recorded. It is more efficient to watch recordings than travel the country/europe to watch one player only.
Faith won't save you/qpr anymore... qpr had there chance to give a good shot in this season and get they're acts sorted after the great escape but has tremendously failed. Sorry bud but qpr are following reading I'm afraid
Good insight from Kevin, thanks both.
Great analysis even though it’s depressing
Good to hear from you guys. It’s been too long.
Spot on chaps - Tough days indeed - Not looking forward to my trip to Leeds.
Appreciate your podcast - Kevin was always a favorite
Top quality video!! Madsen looks terrified tbh. playing with 9 players at the moment.

Great podcast 👍🏼
Enjoyed that
Great show lads

Just how bad does it have to get before MC goes?
Thank you gents.
Armstrong wasnt the finished article but at least he was a willing runner and would cause a bit of chaos late on... Get madsen on the gear 😅
straight im agreeing with kev...lack of pace badly, who is worse though celar or madsen or santos...my bet is you can find better than all 3 in the national league

Why don’t we pass first time,why do all of our players stop the ball before passing it on.We are so slow and pedestrian
By the way our back up left back is playing very well every week in Scotland. Bother inspired choice. We didn't even include a recall clause. Not even for January
Lol how do u possibly know that
David, As a globally experience management consultant, my first question is always about where the leadership derives ... it always come from the top.

The CEO is a 24 year old. What can the manager do when he’s given 🤡 ?
I still can't understand why sinclair Armstrong was sold
He didn't want to stay
And we got decent ££ for him.
But they used the money to buy Celar, who is hopeless. Armstrong did alot to hold up play when he played.
Let's be honest lads, Armstrong was a donkey
I agree about Madsen and Celar I said this at the beginning of the season they have no presence on the pitch which is killing the team we also need a left back
*Madsen
There is stuff going on at board and subsequently at ceo level. Why hire a kid who just started a consultation company with zero football experience who then decides to appoint himself ceo and dog..

Few QPR players don't go for a 50 50 balls in midfield
I've already consigned ourselves to div. 1. I can't see this squad or management turning this around, they simply are not good enough for the Championship.
The signings are not good enough, so the CEO's data recruitment plan has failed.

Time for new owners, CEO, and most of the squad. Sorry, but I have never seen such a lack of quality at QPR in 4 decades. I hope I can eat my words, but I doubt it. 4:31
We are a poor team
We have been for the last 5 years
No defence
No midfielders
No strikers
Another beating at Leeds coming up
Like Kev said Masden & Celar are just not good enough for the Championship, that's nearly 5 million for 2 useless players, I've been patient with Celar but fed up with him now.
Sad fact is, we're dissing Madsen here, but he's our second highest goalscorer! Concerning.

QPR need you Kevin at least you score goals
Been papering over the cracks and getting away with it for far too long. Big reset needed, which will probably involve relegation 🥺
Up stairs has a lot to answer for
I’ve been supporting QPR since I was about 9, I’m now 39 and Celar is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen closely followed by Madsen
Question for you guys
Do you think some players have given up just don't want to play for us anymore
Just want their wages
That's what it looks to me
Where do we start!! Weak, soft, no hart, no plan, no pace, no passion, quietest team in the league and that's just to start with!!!
No shit. Has been for years. Poor recruitment. Poor managment. No identity or fight. Going down this year and maybe its for the best
Agreed with everything said
Get Belk on!
Whoever thought that bringing in a 26 year old with no experience to run the club was a good idea?
Hi Guys, great show as always. I have a theory. One of the reasons why we recruited poorly and with players not familiar with the championship is , because we couldn't afford experienced championship players or some gems from the lower leagues. I may be wrong. What do you think?
Madsen was £3.5 million
Great stuff but perhaps worth giving praise to Saito, no?
Get your boots on kev better then what we got shocking team
Great podcast David. On the Director of Recruitment issue, is there any truth in the rumour that he is often remote from Dubai? I read it somewhere and cannot believe that would be the case.
it's Ben Williams who is head of performance that works out in Dubai, head of recruitment is based at the training ground
That's a fair postmortem chaps. It's looking dire.
As always Magic Hat calling it straight.
Santos
Madsen
Celar
All not good enough as their performances and stats prove. Get larkeche back. Get some hard working players in jan. get rid of Celar and get a striker.
Kev said you need to go and watch a signing at least 6times but via data that’s obviously not needed by the CEO
It looks like MC is a dead man walking. He clearly didn't ask for these players? what manager would? There are lads in league 1 and 2 who can run around and put a tackle in. Why are we touring Europe to spend money on a guy who is no better than a lad who lives and plays in the English league??? Something is going on that we are not allowed to know.

CEO fault
Wanted : Three goalscorers + Warburton
Madsen looks lost to me... it is like he has no instruction
Hey Madse, in football you have midfielders who help the attack and defense, they also tackle the other players to win the ball...would u mind doing this ..thank you
GET
rid of nardi he is shit. Why does he always plays around in 5 yard box you can't even stop a simple shot but you want to dribble the ball in your area in front of opposing side total crap learn to save a ball leave dribbling OUT
We are going down, how can our CEO be 24 years old what a joke
1-0 already 😒
Kevin, why are you all so hypocritical? You know it takes time to form a team. Everyone including yourself all praised Marty. Now we have young players who need time.

Qpr are a bad team that simple. You guys are gonna have a fun year ill tell you that for certain 😂
Recruitment is definitely an issue. However, I don’t see the issue with the recruitment team attending QPR games - every professional match across the world is recorded. It is more efficient to watch recordings than travel the country/europe to watch one player only.
We finally get rid of Dozzell, only to spend the best part of £3M on an inferior carbon copy. Only Rangers! 🤡
Got rid of players much more suitable to QPR ,
Celar hattrick vs Leeds incoming
Playoffs are still on, keep the faith
Faith won't save you/qpr anymore... qpr had there chance to give a good shot in this season and get they're acts sorted after the great escape but has tremendously failed. Sorry bud but qpr are following reading I'm afraid
No shit Sherlock
No father figure like Austin. Too many young overpaid clowns running around with no direction
