The Big Queen's Park FC Thread
Zanetti replied to Dave's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
It's a decent attempt, but I promise there's absolutely nothing about this ridiculous football club you could possibly slag that we've not already complained about hundreds of times ourselves in this very thread. -
The Big Queen's Park FC Thread

I've reached a point where I don't blame the players at all. They're simply not good enough, or at least not ready, to play at this level. The squad that's been assembled is incapable of competing in the Championship. -

Tommy Robson came over to speak to the fans and it went quickly downhill. A few "f**k offs" exchanged in both directions. Robson very animated, which was surprising given he's usually quite level headed. Not a particularly healthy way for anyone to express their frustration. -
Ton v QP - clash of the titans
Zanetti replied to Hampden Diehard's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I wouldn't say salty is the right word, the way we lost was disappointing but it was also entirely predictable. Most of us are far more concerned about the bigger picture than one result though, we have a club that's a total mess off the park right now and a playing squad that's nowhere near good enough for this level of football. -
No idea but we have a track record of fucking this sort of thing up, so it wouldn't surprise me.

The clubs have agreed that he'll be there on match days for us. Whether he eventually returns to play for Kelty will likely depend on Nuijten being given the job permanently here or not.

We must be the only football club (or perhaps even organisation) in the country that can release such an important statement which actually confuses everyone more than they already were. Unbelievable. -

21.2 which is indeed the youngest by at least a couple of years. -

I still think the atmosphere even at Hampden would be better with anything to actually cheer about. The game last season against Accies when we won 4-0, and even the Thistle match at the end of October (even though we chucked it away) were decent examples of that. A massive factor is just that the product on the park is brutal at the moment. -

Please watch the highlights from our game on Saturday against the team you beat last night. There is unfortunately lots of evidence that you don't need to actually play all that well to beat us comfortably. Our squad is comprised primarily of players who although talented, are not ready for this level of football (at the very least without a few more experienced heads around them for support). There's a reason it'll be 4 months on Saturday since we won a league game. -

I'm choosing to believe it's O'Ware and Kelty aren't too keen on publicising the fact that they've given him the day off for it, but there's probably a higher chance that they just don't care enough to share any information with us as usual. -

I can't see anything other than a comfortable home victory. Our record against Morton is dreadful, and unless Nuijten/O'Ware/whoever is actually taking the team happens to be the world's greatest motivational speaker then our powderpuff defence will be easy pickings for them. Genuinely don't remember the last time I was looking forward to a game of football less than this. -
He's getting paid $2m per year, with a total of $680m deferred until the contract ends. That's absolutely ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed.

I'm not disagreeing with any of this, I just truly do not believe it's going to factor into anyone making a decision on whether to apply for or accept the job if they believe they can work with the squad and decision-makers at the club, and are promised resources. -

I don't think any potential manager is going to even remotely care about Lesser Hampden when we're not actually playing there (if the offer is right), to be honest. -

Brown strikes me as the Owen Coyle man manager type, he'd probably get the players on board. With an assistant who's a bit more tactically astute I think he could do well. -

I fully agree with the rest of your post, but I also think despite the timing if it all there's a third more likely option than either of these. Beuker got offered a job he couldn't turn down, Spiers is 60 years old and simply decided to step down, and Veldman was shown the door because he hadn't won a league game in almost 4 months. I don't think there's necessarily some master plan to fix all of the club's issues nor do I suspect anything malicious is going on. -

Scott Burns in The Daily Record is linking us with Scott Brown and Gary Bowyer. Would much rather either of them than Mackay. Edited to add that he mentions Charlie Mulgrew too, but I can't see us making the mistake of giving someone their first job again after neither Ellis nor Veldman worked out. -

Surely MacFarlane will be on a fortune at Brentford? -
Bobby Bonilla springs to mind. The Orioles are still paying him half a million per year until 2028 even though he retired over 20 years ago, and left Baltimore in 1996!

I love Shohei but that is wild. They're going to be paying a 39 year old DH $70m.
