Everton show nothing has changed at QPR since Redknapp's appointment

Well 'Arry's 100% record in 2014 was exploded with a vengeance at Goodison. After the narrow and late, late victory over little Donny, hope surged through the veins of the gRRRRs, but with England's 666, Robert Green, rested, 'Arry's boys folded like an England cricket team in Australia. The gulf in class was huge: bloody hell, Jelavic scoring twice in a game is akin to club cricketer Smith scoring centuries in back to back tests against Anderson and co.

And this was an Everton team without a number of its star turns. 'Arry admitted Rangers were "well beaten today" and confessed "We struggled to live with them at times". Well, should QPR manage to negotiate their way back to the Prem, that doesn't bode too well does it?

What yesterday illustrated is that little or no progress has been made over the last 13 months since Redknapp took charge. Unassisted by McClaren, 'Arry's win percentage in 2013 was a disgraceful 23%, and when you consider the money he has spent, the wages that are being paid, and the ludicrous disparity between QPR's squad costs and the salary bills for the rest of the teams in the Championship, that is truly pathetic.

Of course 'Arry inherited a mess, but look at the players on duty yesterday and this was his team: Simpson, Arsehole-Ekotto, O'Neil, Phillips, Austin, Henry, Yossi and Kranjcar are all Redknapp mercenaries, and Barton was brought back from his French exile too.  Rarely has a manager been given such backing over a 13 month period.

The whole of football is watching, wondering how the Financial Fair Play Rules can be ignored with such impunity, and Fernandes must be wondering why his money has been "invested" in such crap. It was "only a Cup game" yesterday but it was also the QPR fiasco in a nutshell. 'Arry still has a 50% win percentage for 2014, but the team his side struggled to beat on New Year's Day shipped three goals at home to Stevenage yesterday - and lost. And I doubt that the combined wages of Stevenage's squad amounts to the wages of QPR's reserve keeper.

What a farce!

    1. Your kidding, he's a West Ham fan iand he's spending his day's attempting to criticise other teams, very poorly may I add. What QPR ain't and never will become is the new Stoke of London, as West Ham certainly have become.

  4. We will wave at you as you pass us into the championship. Confused how a fan of a team that are sitting in the relegation zone in exactly same position as we were last season has the front to even comment on another team.

  5. You articles are very genuine and point out a lot of our faults and I generally enjoy reading your articles. But please stop trying to focus on stupid stats that do not matter. Talking about our 2014 record just makes you article seem farcical and gives people reason to dismiss the entire article.

  6. In other news, West Ham are shoo-ins for relegation, after spending £26million in the summer. People in glass houses and all that.

  8. Any comment about being a goal down to some Championship lowlifes from Nottingham?

    No, Didn't think so.

    Just concentrate on the financial mess you'll be in when Fat Sam has taken you down to face the mighty Brentford and Leyton Orient next season.

  9. what is farcical is the fact a west ham fan is criticizing a manager for a season where a bad team was inherited that were destined to go down. If I recall correctly west ham went down pitifully as well. But to their credit came back up. Therefore you could at least wait to see if 'arry and QPR can do the same before you be so slanderous and hypocritical. Who knows QPR might even take the hammers place in the top flight- wont that be a bitter pill to swallow when you have a QPR fan laying into big sam.

  12. Where the hell is he gone? Off to buy a Leyton Orient scarf I reckon after that appalling result today, West Ham are not only gonna get relegated but they will get torn asunder in the championship! We'd invest in a few of your players during your relegation sale, but the're all a pile of dung!
