Interesting. Sack Ollie quick,which, I had no problem with. However I thought this would mean they had a plan B in place. The McLaren rumour came from the WATRBs site I think.The OP has now changed the goalposts as normal. Def signing after last game to, should be next week.
Slightly concerning, but hopefully all in order. |
It depends on what you define as "after the last game". Any time from today into August is after the last game. |  | |  |

If memory serves a "McClaren Consortium takeover" was floated awhile back during one of York City's frequent struggles.
It begs the question that if there was more than a change of on-field management in the offing why would the existing owners have bothered to sack Ollie? Surely it would be the responsibility of the new guys. |
This could have been going on for a while!

The WATRB source has been solid so far. Got the Ollie bit, got the SMac bit, on the consortium front we'll know soon enough (I have doubts, because there is a fair bit of uncertainty on the property portfolio plans and of course dear old FFP).
Re D Mc. This was the man who told us recently that Ollie was definitely seeing out next term..... |
Rarely post and especially don't like to butt in when I'm mentioned, and not I'm doing it here to dig out loftinspace in any way or anyone else who might have been less than complimentary. Absolutely no problem at all. I come in peace.
Anyway, I get the mick taken out of me by some of the few friends I've got that I'm continually (often on Twitter) being accused of saying things I never said. In fact I'll often have said the total opposite. It's a bit of a standing joke.
So I was roped into a childish bet just after the start of the year that I'd see 50 such examples by the end of the season. I was stuck on 49 for a while and this comes just too late, but cheers loftinspace you've at least taken me to the 50 mark mate!

if (IF) there is some sort of change of ownership happening the incoming owners may have thought it wouldnt be a good start to sack a much loved QPR man as their first bit of business so perhaps they have got Fernades to do it and clear the decks as part of the deal |  | | |

That is a fair point.
But if a consortium was coming in then they mightn't have McClaren snooping around in such a visible manner either, maybe? |  |

Surely it would be best for everyone involved to sack Ollie after the takeover, if thats whats happening. ? | |

I can only think that the club was likely going to replace Holloway regardless of whatever negotiations that might be taking place. It would pretty cruel to have protracted rumblings involving a high-profile manager that eventually fall over only to then tell Holloway goodbye anyway. |  |

Pre condition. They hired him, they can sort out the gold watch. Start with clean slate and their own man. | | | |

But wouldn't that suggest that the negotiations were completed? So why wait a week for the announcement? | |

I thought the biggest story of the season was the keep off the pitch notification at the end of the season though we are QPR so still time for a gun in the boardroom. | | | |

No, because in the consortium scenario the Ollie thing is just the prequel. Real negotiations start with QPR Holdings etc = lots to negotiate, %s etc.
All of this assumes the consortium scenario as fact, we don't know that, but the longer it goes on the more likely that becomes. In which case Ollie / SMac becomes back seat stuff. | | | |
