    QPR and Luigi Di Canio part ways

    maybe not Zidane but someone is coming in and will have big money to spend, and will also be the favourite imo for promotion next season.

    Considering he has played with QPR before it is an obivious choice suppose they wanted someone who has been there and done it in terms of Championship football with leading a club to promotion to the Premier League...

    In fairness to the bloke, he did well at Oldham and Palace (before stitching them up) and wasn't the main problem at Coventry a falling out over money (or lack of)? He was overlooked twice at Loftus Road before and although he wouldn't have been my first choice for the job, he's there now so good luck to him.

    2 free signings already (Cerney and Rammage) and talk of Portsmouth's Martin Crainie signing next week for £2million looks to have shored up the back line so all we need now is possibly a left-sided midfielder (hopefully Lee Cook is returning) and a 20-a-season striker and all looks promising for a promotion push next season.

    Come on you Rs!:D

    Did anyone else hear the rumour about QPR chasing Figo's signature? Imagine that for a completely unlikely set-up next season: Figo managed by Zidane in a mid-table English championship side.

    That would be cool!

    Why are people assuming that QPR will have a big war chest?

    Motherwells owner is wealthier than these guys combined.....

    I'll start again.

    Mittal is a shareholder in QPR. He is rich. All agreed so far. Where does the assumption that he will pump additional money into QPR come from?
