Dowie Reportedly Saves His Job

-
- As noted by a poster on a QPR messageboard, today's Mail on Sunday (Specific article, not currently online) reports that Iain Dowie met last week with QPR Chairman Flavio Briatore - and retained his job! According to the article, "Dowie was close to being sacked when he was summoned to Loftus Road by Briatore last week to discuss a poor run of results."
- Dowie reportedly informed Briatore of the need for strikers - with Championship know-how. An unnamed source is quoted in the Sunday Mail article as saying: "The way the meeting went was a bit unexpected. Iain thought he had nothing to lose and he might as well be up front and honest. Instead of being a yes-man with Flavio, he pointed out what was needed to turn things around, which was new strikers." (Joe Bernstein/Mail on Sunday)
