Mail: HatchetMan - HATCHET MAN: Just like his prospective new manager, it appears that QPR chief Briatore needs to learn a few things
- Flavio Briatore claims to know all about sport and believes he has the nous to turn QPR into a top flight success.
- But somehow the Rangers chairman doesn't seem to have noticed how badly the last former playing legend who went into management is struggling in English football, or he wouldn't be on the verge of appointing Paulo Sousa the club's new manager.
If the Portuguese starts anywhere near as badly as Gianfranco Zola at West Ham then he will not last too long at Loftus Road.
The Italian has struggled since taking over at Upton Park in September and has a similar background to Sousa as their previous managerial experience has been with international sides.
- But Briatore, who laughably considered himself for the post, must think that Sousa's knowledge from working as an assistant for the Portugal national team and coaching the country's under-15s makes him perfect for getting the team out of the Championship.
- Either that or he thought it would be better to have a big-name figurehead to take training and face the press while he picks the team. Mail
