In a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other, website West London Sport reports a sense of discontent amongst Queens Park Rangers fans at the appointment of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink over caretaker boss Neil Warnock.
QPR appointed Hasselbaink, who previously managed Burton Albion – the most successful side in the Football League (based on points scored) in England during 2015, six games ago and the West London side have failed to win in those half dozen games. This has led to a growing disquiet amongst Loftus Road faithful and these fans made their grievances known during the 2-1 defeat by Hull City.
A number of fans chanted ex-interim manager Neil Warnock’s name during the Hull defeat and others took/have taken to social media to extend their grievances at the decision to appoint Hasselbaink over Warnock.

However, there are some who say that the chanting of Warnock’s name and growing sense of disquiet isn’t helping the club…

Football fans of any club or persuasion are hard to please, often demanding instant gratification when a new manager comes in. ‘Instant gratification’ demands points, games won and success; should these not be forthcoming then the club faithful who huddle on the terraces suddenly become that baying, torch-carrying, pitchfork-waving mob demanding the sacking of any manager they see under-performing.
