I got curious about it, sounds like Smith turned down the Wolves... new face every day...they must not be offering a contract that is inviting.

Who knows? Paul Ince might be considered now as they move on to the next candidates. Roy Keane was even mentioned in stories but I don't know if he's been actually involved in interviews. Wolves might give some manager who has had hard luck a chance.

"I knew I was more of a fall-back than anything"

That's the problem they're going to have trying to appoint any manager now. That's four that have turned them down.

I've got a feeling they'll go back to Curbishley with a better contract offer. Whatever they are proposing must be really unattractive.

I never rule out that a club could be feigning chaos, they feign injuries, i.e. "Will X play?", HIGHLY UNLIKELY I know but the next match is less than 48 hours away.

Maybe not, so I'm sure many people know better than myself but Terry Connor is the caretaker right now.

(also wanted to apologise, believe I got my facts wrong, Bruce managed Wigan, silly me, said another club, my error).

Today, the appointment of Connor and the sale of Samba means one of Wigan, Bolton & QPR will now join Wolves & Rovers in next season's Championship.

very negative again.

instead of calling the team and thinking we going down, why don't you cheer your Club on and get behind the team/players.

I will be doing that tomorrow and every other match this season!!!

Are the two mutually exclusive?

I wouldn't go that far especially with the Connor bit (he may just surprise), but I have to agree with the Samba comment ....

Evening Chaddy, well in 16 months we've lost one of the shrewdest managers in the game, a whole host of excellent business operators, about 5,000 season ticket holders, a shirt sponsor, much commercial support, some excellent and talented footballers, £19million pounds in 2010/11, our credibility in the game and our finances are now fecked.

We've gained...... struggling to think of anything.

Like many, the club as I knew it for 50 years or so has died. Like many, my feeling and allegiance for the club are fading.

Apart from all that Chaddy, everything with Rovers is wonderful !!!

There will always be one man and his dog watching footie at Pleasington and that will probably be you !!!

I did that at the Emirates the other week Chaddy, and that didn't turn out so well. To believe that this club will be relegated under Venky's is not being negative, simply realistic. There are five clubs involved and three will go down and on what has gone on so far this season there is a very good chance that the sale of Samba might very well be the thing that tips us over the edge. We all hope not but being realistic the chances of survival are not great having already lost to Bolton and Wolves at Ewood.

Definitely "+1" [at least] for that, Mercerman.

It proves you don't have to be thousands of miles away in India to do stupid things as a football club owner.

I can only hope it proves to be a stupid move, let's pray he does not turn out to be a messiah that Mick was holding back.

More media attention than I can remember, albeit bad press.

Just thought I would add a response to people thinking QPR are safe due to Hughesy and some of their signings (who I think are average for the wages received).

I saw this on the Wolves board.....

31st March - Arsenal (H)

8th April - Man United (a)

11th April - Swansea (h)

14th April - West Brom (a)

21st April- Tottenham (h)

29th April - Chelsea (a)

5th May - Stoke (h)

13th May - Man City (a)

QPR's last fixtures, very tough run-in. In my opinion they need points soon, if they're in the bottom 3 come the end of March they could well be doomed.

In the same time line we have....

United (H)

West Brom (A)

Liverpool (H)

Swansea (A)

Norwich (H)

Spurs (A)

Wigan (H)

Chelsea (A)

I see 2 winnable away games and 2 write-off away games and a few winnable home games too. Nether the less the key games are Villa, Wolves and Bolton which are coming up. Although I doubt Super Steve is even targetting these games as there is no chance of our relegation :blink:
