I am by no means saying he could be a messiah but he steps into this role after a very difficult period as coach, essentially not a lot more than a fitness specialist under McClaren's manager/coach role. Okay we get tonked 4-0 by Norwich and were abject but he's had virtually no time to change things around and the team were already beleaguered by the run they are on.
Last night the team played with an attitude similar to the one when they were actually playing well before Christmas. They were more confident, less afraid, more attacking. Okay, I have no idea why none of our recent managers will play wingers but perhaps that will come in time.
He came here as a coach to learn to be a manager at a higher level. He has a very tough time ahead in the last matches but my question is, given how well he did at Kidderminster Harriers are we not actually giving this guy a chance to show anything as a manager? His record below as a manager...
Kidderminster Harriers
Played 103
Won 55
Drawn 21
Lost 27
Win % 53.40
He's 39, he obviously did okay in his first managerial role, he's not really had a chance to show anything as a number one and perhaps, just perhaps, regardless of Saturday's result, we are going to pull the trigger on someone who given time, his own people, ideas and players could do something? He's taken this on to try and prove a point. If he can guide us to safety, even by the skin of our teeth, does he not deserve a chance? I don't think he would walk and follow McClaren unless he has no other opportunity.
He cannot be judged on being a number 2 here so given that he has no choice other than to lead the team while we talk to anyone qualified or not to come in, should the board actually be thinking that he may, given a fresh season, be someone who could guide a young team to better things?
Just a thought... |  |

24 hours ago he was being called a moron who should be sacked as caretaker manager, |  | | |

And there in lies my point. Generally being judged on the coattails of a sacked manager who had seemingly lost the players and any focus. | |

I think Bosh has a valid point.
We have been linked with some awful managers... sherwood, Pearson, Davies.
I like Bircham but don’t think he has the experience.
Think Bowyer could do well, but why not Eustace, we have to remember that we are a small club, have no money and will be getting rid of plenty of players this year. I can’t see Eustace having much of a say when McClaren was here |  | | |

eustace is here, knows the squad, did well in his last job and would save us a few bob.
If he does well, whats not to like?
like we always go to millwall and win anyway. | | | |

The final five games are his to make a point with. If he does well at the very least it should add his name to the list of candidates. Unless, of course, a decision's already been made. | | | |

Everyone wants the board to implement a long term strategy and stick to it.... and yet we are talking about appointing a novice manager on the back of a few games? Isn’t that the definition of short term? | | | |

103 games at KH, where he did well.
What do we want? We're not going to get a successful big name manager.
Sherwood has been a manager for 56 games.
Bircham hasn't managed over here.
Billy Davies has not managed well.
Nigel pearson and lee bowyer , hmmmmmmmm
Warburton has a decent record.
I'm not saying he should be our next manager, I don't think anyone is, but he should be given a chance.
Fck me, we're QPR, every managerial appointment is high risk, what is the long term strategy in appointing any of the other candidates? Appointing from within could be seen as strategic. you could argue that long term strategy is Les's department anyway - look at watford. [Post edited 11 Apr 2019 22:19]

I'd suppose that the long-term strategy would be the same as Mclaren was (theoretically) working under. Eustace would presumably be more familiar with that than any incoming manager. As the average tenure for league managers these days is around ten months, how reasonable is it to consider any of them "long-term" appointments in any case? [Post edited 11 Apr 2019 22:22]

The players and associated wage costs are much too high currently and must be reduced next season, So the club is going to be recruiting cheaply and things will be much different next season. Younger players managed by a younger coach
Don't worry we are in safe hands.

not sure anyone is asking for a big name manager but going with Eustace on the back of a 0-0 draw at Millwall would be a bit mad. | | | |
| John Eustace on 23:22 - Apr 11 with 2693 views | ted_hendrix |
Bosh, lets see how things are at 5.00pm Saturday and then the following Friday after the Blackburn game, two tricky home games, by then Eustace will have managed two tough away games and two equally tricky home games.
By 5.00pm Friday 19th April we could be either safe in this league for one more season or deep in relegation trouble. |  |

I wish he'd actually speak in an interview instead of just reading off Lee Hoos' autocue.
But yeah, for all i know, he could be the best manager in the world. I'm not judging him yet. |  | | |

FFS he got a point against a dire Millwall side who would of struggled to beat a walking football team, are our standards now that low ? |
Not that I'm disagreeing generally, but surely the point is more that he got a reaction out of the players? The post-Norwich chat about speaking internally, not accepting those standards etc actually bore fruit with how committed we looked away at The Den.
Personally I would like to see him replaced, even on an interim basis, but credit where it's due for actually changing things and inciting a positive reaction. After Norwich when he played the team and system of a man without any independent thought, I feared the worst.
Seemingly he has a lot of potential as a young Manager, but probably not with us. |  |

The point won at Milwall takes a lot of urgency out of the situation. We don't have to panic and get someone crap in. We can now take our time. And get someone crap in. [Post edited 12 Apr 2019 12:04]

Are there any managers out there offering "two for one" deals, I wonder? That way, we have a replacement already signed up when the new person inevitably bombs. |  |
