Neil Warnock finally moved across London last night after the compensation fee was agreed between his former employers and his club QPR. This will be the end of the manager merry-go-round at White City having had 11 other short stay managers and caretakers in the time since Flavio Briatore waltzed in and adopted the club as a hobby. The fans grew to hate the man whose constant false promises and dressing room interference caused problems for manager after manager. If they had their own opinion they were quickly shown the door and this is why a strong personality like Warnock would never have worked under the egomaniac.
However, now that Amit Bhatia and the Mittal family have increased their stake and Ishan Saksena is the new chairman of the board fans have a brighter view of the future. As long as Warnock can keep us up this season then I have faith the next 2 years will see us build a quality team with things down right off the pitch and the manager left alone to manage and highlight players he wants to bring to the club. There is no doubt that Warnock likes hardworking players and he is a motivator that gets the best out of his players. He has no hesitation in using young players which can only be a good thing for our youngsters such as Antonio German who has shown no fear since his full first team debut against Doncaster where he got his first goal.
Personally I feel Warnock will get the best out of Akos Buzsaky, our Hungarian star in the number 10 shirt. His form was poor under Magilton and Hart but the Watford dressing room incident must have had significant negative effects on him that fans seem to have dismissed. He has played better under Harford, making things happen and looks to be on his way up. We will never see him make a crunching tackle in a 50 50 situation because he isnt this kind of player when he will still work hard, demand the ball and want to create with it. Peter Ramage comes in for a lot of stick from the Rs faithful, I personally really like him. His workrate, passion and effort is 2nd to none and is one of few who applauds the fans after every game. His crossing is poor but as a defender I feel he is solid and Warnock will appreciate the positives he brings to the team.
With talk of Speroni, Clyne, Danns and Ambrose being brought in surely we will only need a quality left back and a couple of goalscoring strikers in the summer. I feel we should try our utmost to bring in Jay Simpson on a permanent deal, surely Wenger doesn't think he can play at the very top level with Arsenal. Tom Cleverley and Henri Lansbury would be excellent midfield signings having both had great seasons on loan at Watford and their parent clubs would seem willing to let them go.
We have the big pieces of the jigsaw in place; a board that cares, has funds at the ready for the right players and will give the manager time and space, a quality manager who has a lot of experience at this level and will gain the respect of the players as soon as he enters the room. We have players of quality. Connolly, Gorkss, Cook, Simpson, Buzsaky would be loved by most teams in this division. Next season is going to be big.
U Rrrrrrrssssssss
