Parker questions QPR's lack of patience
Former Queens Park Rangers defender Paul Parker has told Setanta Sports News that the club could be making a rod for its own back by opting to dispense with the services of Iain Dowie so early on in the season.
Dowie’s contract was terminated on Friday morning, just 15 games into his tenure at Loftus Road.
He is the latest in a rapidly growing line of managers to be given the boot from West London in recent years, most notably since Flavio Briatore et al arrived on the scene.
The club’s new owners have made no secret of their ‘five-year Champions League plan’ and it seems that ninth in The Championship after 12 games is not enough.
“They’re only seven points off an automatic spot so they are in no bad position at the moment, it’s only October,” said former England international Parker.
“QPR are a club that still means a lot to me and have plenty of money at the moment. But one of the things you can’t buy with money is automatic promotion.
“It takes time, it takes a lot of work and it takes planning. You can’t just look to be top of the league with maximum points.
“You need time to build towards it. It does worry me that at Queens Park Rangers they’ve got themselves into a better state than they were in 12 months ago but are now chasing what they see as a dream.
“They’re doing it a little bit too quick without enough patience.”
