    Excellent news... Although this is a move that could make Chris Powell or could break him (like the Blackburn job destroyed Paul Ince)

    Just a shame Fernandes is evidently racist, i.e. gets slating for sacking the black Manager and then replaces him with another Black Manager, what is the world coming to

    Would they be happy to have CP as 'their' manager?

    If true i didn't see that coming. Cant think too many QPR fans will look at his managerial record and think he's the man to take them back into the Prem.

    Good luck to him though. Always be a Charlton Legend.

    It's a good opportunity for Powell to work in a job where he has some proper money to spend. A lot of the people who support Powell, myself included, think he's got a great eye for a player and he's suffered from having to shop in the bargain bin, so once he's turfed out the useless journeymen sitting on big contracts and brought in some quality it'll be interesting to see if he can shape some positive tactics around them. It's not an easy job by any stretch

    good luck to him - he'll need it.

    He'll do well to finish the season there I reckon

    Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Gary Rowett were both mentioned as well.

    Hope SCP gets it though, think he could do well there.

    Any word on our managerial situation?

    Will get them promoted next season, if he gets a little backing and the chance to choose his own squad over the summer, just like I believe he would have taken us up if the money had not vanished under the last ownership.

    QPR look set to name Colin as manager till the end of the season.

    Shame really, as i despise QPR as a club, but i hope SCP gets them up, he deserves it.

    I'm not convinced that's the best place for Powelly.

    I wish him all the luck in the world but the players, egos and money at that club are not likely to be anything like his comfort zone.

    Depends whether or not he can clear them out really. If he can get rid of the likes of Onuoha, Traore, Hill and Sandro and bring in players with the right attitude he'll be ok. The Mirror is claiming Warnock is going to get the job until the summer now.

    Good luck to Chris if true.
    As someone else said earlier it will make or break him as a manager.
    I hope he is a success, I really do, until we play them again.

    Will that be Warnock's final job in football? He's said that about his last 6 jobs I think.

    I personally think Chris' strength is in man management rather than being a tactical mastermind. It may well be what some of the QPR squad need.

    That being said it is only a rumor.

    Be interesting if Charlie Austin sees Powell as someone he wants to work under, or whether he sees it as a lack of ambition from Queens Park Rangers (i.e. not going for someone like Pearson with Premier League experience) which'll see him more determined to leave in January... Am sure Alex Smithies will providing his knowledge of working with Powell right now

    personally I'll be amazed if he gets the gig, don't feel he's a big enough name for them at the moment, suspect their (deluded) fans expect bigger and better

    QPR seem like a basket case.

    It takes one to know one, of course!

    Guess it's all about results, he goes in there and wins his first 3-4 games they will all love him.

    Powell's far too nice for QPR. Hope it works out for him though.

    If he is appointed I feel the job and the expectations will be to big for SCP.

    Not really... When he took the Charlton job he was expected to take us back to the Championship... In taking the Queens Park Rangers they're expecting him to take them up to the Premier League

    Target is no different, just better standard of players

    Good luck to Chris. Hope he does well. If he is a proper manager he will have been learning all the time, from success and failure. This could be the big one for him

    I heard rumours before about the QPR job. But much that I love him, isn't he more likely to end up at Colchester Utd? They are without a manager aren't they?
