Hi Steve Would you even entertain the idea/ attempt to sign David Beckham on loan, bearing in mind he did say he wouldnt play for any Premiership club other than Man U. As stupid as it sounds, is it an idea you mkight look into? Secondly my mate is a QPR fan here (very jealous of you coming online to speak to fans!) He says ask Warnock about Rowlands & Lee Cook! What became of the anti-clique brigade.....?

The main thing at the moment is to fecking get behind Dougie and the team on Monday. It's a hell of a crucial game and we need everyone there to give the sort of support we gave during the admin last season. The crowd is outstanding, and especially with the penalty after 44 minutes it was clear when we came out after half-time the welcome would be pretty loud and not too friendly. Crystal Palace wanted to strike back, so that was all clear. This is a wonderful place to play football - Jurgen Klopp

Would you describe your conversation with George this afternoon as "a sobering moment"? Would he? Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Decimated squad,no coaching staff,embargo,it would take one hell of a manager to turn it all around in six months. Edited by JayCee (01 Jan 2011 11.07pm) decimated squad ?? Talk me through that? "We have had to come in and build up a squad that had 10 or 11 players and no coaching staff. It's a work in progress but I think we are going in the right direction." Quote from George Burley,sounds quite decimated to me. Most managers want to change the coaching staff when they come in and get their own people so this would surely have been a benefit , actually George was happy to have dougie. Then we lost two players from the end of the season that were regulars that we couldnt prevent the others leaving were GB's choice . Not much to ask your new manager is it ? to replace two players ? I'm not sure that's fair. Warnock couldn't put out a full subs bench at the end of last year and relied on Derry playing every match. Losing Moses and Fonte was already a big blow, Derry was more than just a player to lose - he was captain and midfield rock, add to that John and Ertl, Lawrence now being 36, Scannell ruled out through injury, and Ambrose out injured for most of the games. You can say other clubs have a smaller wage bill, but the players in those clubs have had a lot longer to gel and find their shape. I think it is a fair argument that Burley was working with an incomplete squad, and a totally uncompetitive midfield, Having said that, Burley did have time to replace Derry and he failed to do it.

That doesn't sound reassuring to me.... Mate, he can hardly give you a straight answer to this (what if Dougie says he wants the Job??). It will bite him in the arse, Same with the talk of timescales for a replacement. Happy happy JOY, JOY!
