Has the football been good to watch or was it like Rangers coming through the league and a bit of a slog ? The squad doesn't look like the old sledgehammer to crack a walnut analogy used for Rangers so it looks like he's done a decent job and deserves some credit for what he's done. Firstly, I’ll always be appreciative of a title winning manager for QP, full time or part time, I’m delighted with the job he has done and the foundations (on the pitch at least) have been set for the upcoming manager to take the reigns for the club to reach the next level. His aim was to get us into league 1 and he’s done exactly that. I’d be lying if I said the style of football was expansive or free flowing. There’s been moments of that but upon reflection, the majority of games have almost been workmanlike performances that get the job done. We’ve never really battered any team by 4 or 5 goal margins. Not that I’ll ever complain about the way we get 3 points but it just places a seed of doubt in your head as to how effective that’ll be moving up the leagues. Most notably though has been our inability to beat or even compete with fellow full time sides across the season. We were routinely dispatched twice by a QOS side who were at that point looking like massive favourites to finish bottom of the championship. Uninspiring performances against thistle, Morton and 10 man st mirren have undoubtedly placed doubt amongst many supporters. Overall, even though we’ve won the league comfortably and deservedly so, there’s a part of me that thinks there’s so much more that we can get from this squad. That’s where I hope the difference is between McKinnon and whoever is appointed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Used to have a lot of respect for Queen's as a football club, but that has eroded significantly over the past year and a half. To reward such success with a sacking is truly disgusting behaviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that the performances against teams higher up the leagues was disappointing, other than the first 15 minutes in the league cup against QoS we never looked like taking anything from those games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSpider1867 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Stunned at that decision. Dempster has a preference lined up for sure. Stubbs the bookies (albeit McBookie) favourite. I feel for McKinnon. Regardless of the club status, it’s been a record breaking season. Where does this leave all the players he signed? Many out of contract this summer of course. The football wasn’t beautiful but it was effective. McKinnon did have his favourites though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous Spider Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Bold stuff from the club and fully behind it. Won the league at a canter but it would have been an absolute scandal if he hadn’t with that squad. Had lingering doubts about him - I was expecting him to get mutually consented out the door by December - but it’s always weird to complain too much when you’re coasting at the top of the division. Managing QP is a helluva proposition these days. I’m expecting some pretty high calibre contenders. Onward and upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It’s an interesting decision to punt Mr Raymond McKinnon. If someone better is lined up then fair enough imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSpider1867 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 What on earth is that post from QP. Dribble about the community and being an innovative club. What does that have to do with sacking the manager? Pointless words to fill a page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris the Spider Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This does show how ruthless the club is now. Incredibly harsh to sack McKinnon but that is the world we signed up to I guess. Based on this there may be a lot more player turnover than we think. Especially once a new manager comes in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My immediate thought was John Kennedy for some reason. Fits the bill of someone who could be given a bit of a free reign at setting QP up from top to bottom. I hope they don't go down the McCoist/Lennon route, the appeal of Queens Park surely is the lack of ties to the old firm rather than trying to appeal to fans of either/both as a cuddly toy option when they can't get to see their own team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
