@Joey7Barton
I could obviously be wrong; but I would imagine you will never again manage another English football club. The stain on the club would be too great. And that will apply to your (major) television or media career. Just going too far. Far beyond "open debate."
It is with a heavy heart we have learned that QPR legend Stan Bowles has passed away.
A footballing icon and arguably the greatest to have ever worn our famous blue and white hoops.
All our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
RIP, Stan. Forever R’s. 💙🤍
Don't agree with the view that relegation to League One (Division 3) would actually be "good for
