QPR ditch Dowie

QPR part company with boss Dowie

Thank God for that … what took them so long?! Quite why they appointed the serial failure in the first place is beyond me – lovely bloke and all that but he clearly wasn’t the man for the job.  We could have done without this disruption but after just one win in six games, it’s probably better to do it now than waiting until after Christmas. My concern is that the club’s ambitious new owners may be too impatient for the team’s good. As former player Paul Parker said on Setanta, reaching the Premiership promised land takes time and planning. Let’s hope our next manager gets that.

Poor old Joe Kinnear (Or Joke Kinnear as Guardian Fiver readers now know him) has only been in his temporary Newcastle job for a week and he’s already letting rip at the media boys. This transcript is priceless. No wonder they’re now referring to the place as St. Jongleurs Park!
