Cifuentes’ camp speak to West Brom

Marti Cifuentes’ representatives have spoken to West Bromwich Albion about the possibility of the QPR head coach taking over at the West Midlands club.

Albion are looking for a new manager following the recent sacking of Tony Mowbray and Cifuentes is a contender for the job. 

His stock seems high after Rangers stayed in the Championship despite a troubled first full season under the Spaniard.

That could open up opportunities for him to move on this summer.

It can be argued that QPR staying up in the past two seasons despite financial restrictions and injuries to key players, while blooding a number of youngsters, suggests Cifuentes would be a wise choice for Championship clubs with larger budgets.

There are currently also managerial vacancies at Norwich City and relegated Southampton – clubs which, like West Brom, would expect to seriously challenge for promotion next season.

    If you’ve really supported since 1967, you’ll know we’ve seen much worse.

    I thought things would improve after ferdinand left , and they haven’t, keeping the manager is a must , but the club I’ve followed for 52 years need a major shake up especially in the boardroom, it seems we’re just happy surviving.

    I have supported QPR since first attending 66 years ago. That will never change , regardless. That said, Cifuentes has worked wonders with what he has at his disposal. The owners and Board now need to step up and back him properly

    Clfuentes must he’s done a remarkable job keeping us in the championship with no money and so many injuries the board should give him what he wants like more money so that we can compete in the championship next season instead of keeping fighting against relegation so stand by him

    Disgracefully run club. Relying on ‘analytics’ rather than seriously questioning whether players suit the Championship. Better get some spending money in compensation if WBA or someone else takes Marti.
    Big doubts about young Nourry as CEO, I’m afraid. Hope he proves me wrong.

    The problems at QPR run much deeper than just with the manager. Change him by all means if that is what they want to do, but I guarantee that whoever takes over will find themselves facing the same difficulties that Marti & countless previous managers have had to endure.

    Not wasting any more time and money on this club if they don’t back Cifuentes totally and utterly. By the sound of it, maybe it’s already too late.

    I have supported QPR since 1967 but if Cifuentes is not kept that’s me finished with them. I have had enough of Directors who do not know what they are doing. And many supporters will agree with me. Enough is enough.
