Following the departure of Mark Hughes on Friday the club issued the following statement prior to our match at Old Trafford: ‘Queen’s Park Rangers Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Harry Redknapp as the club’s manager. The 65-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at Loftus Road and will watch his new Continue reading

For those who read my wake, ahem…report, on the Southampton game, I’m pleased to inform you that it is much easier to write about a positive performance than an utterly abject one. Unless you’d been under a rock for the last few days before the game you will fully understand why the build-up to the Continue reading

Mark Hughes arrived in January and during his 10 month reign at the club failed to secure a single away victory. Furthermore, crucially after 12 games this season the R’s are currently rooted at the bottom of the table without a league win. Unrest had been growing amongst Rangers fans for some time and the Continue reading

Northern Ireland X1 v Queen’s Park Rangers X1 When I heard that a game was to be played in tribute to Alan McDonald in Belfast I knew it was a match I had to be at – a game for one of my all-time favourite players. My old school friend Darren Clark and I booked Continue reading

It was with a mixture of pride, anger and frustration that the 3,000 R’s trudged away from the Emirates on Saturday afternoon; Pride at the Tiger Cubs walk which encapsulates so much that is special about QPR; Pride at the battling display that this team had put up against the predictions of the pundits for Continue reading
