Ray Wilkins was a disaster for QPR. This is the man who sold Sir Les and then wasted the £6m received on people like Ned Zelic and Mark Hateley [who he signed with a broken leg].
His career as a manager has been poor and always ending in a "quick" sacking.
As for Vialli his record is even worse.
The whole suggestion of these two coming is crazy.
If they have to change manager then go for Billy Davies of Derby who has done it at Preston & Derby in this league.

Wilkins is a good coach- just don't give him the cheque bookso he can't sign players like Ned Zelic who he described "as versatile as an egg". He forgot that eggs break.

Ray Wilkins is probably a nice person but has illusions of grandeur when he says that he can manage any club as long as the finance.I could do the same but would much rarther leave it to the person who can manage QPR,it is JOHN GREGORY,whats he done wrong.

Wilkins was a great player for QPR but as manager started their final premier season with only an unproven pairing of Dichio and Gallen as strikers. From the first day of the season it was clear that they would go down. Since then he has had little impact as a club manager. I think Gregory should stay.

what a joke that clown single handidly almost ruined our club remember hately, zelic ,goodridge yates .... need i go on. this is the man who thought it would be a good idea to play himself in midfield instead at the ripe old age of 40 instead of the promising simon osborn so for god sake lets give gregory the chance that he deserves he is QPR through and through.

NO!!!
Wilkins was the one and only reason we were relegated from the top flight. His decisions were poor and anyway, although he was quality for us as a player, he is Chelsea through and through.
John gregory's blue & white army!

At Waford he added £7,000,000.00 to the wage bill. The following season the club sold the ground and rented it back to raise money to pay for Ray's great buys.
Please go and find another club Ray.
