'The problem isn't a manager, it's a striker'

We asked you what you thought of QPR's switch from Marti Cifuentes to Julien Stephan in the manager's seat.

Here's what you had to say:

Mark: Who knows? Cifuentes was mostly unknown to QPR fans when he arrived. We had our ups and downs, but Cifuentes remained very popular with the fanbase. I'm a big fan of Cifuentes, was sorry to see him go. He's a popular act to follow. Time will tell.

Tony: It's not so important as to who the manger is. The real issue is the board giving that manager money to buy quality players and especially a striker, that will make a difference.

Roy: Good luck to the new manager certainly, but a difficult season ahead for someone who probably knows little about the Championship. Marti did a great job in the circumstances he was dealt and losing him is very sad, especially given the circumstances. If things do not go well, I hope that as well as the new manager being 'moved on', the person or people who made the decision to change manager in this way will also be shown the door as unceremoniously as possible.

Mark: I think it is a fantastic appointment, hopefully will have complete backing. Probably not a huge amount of money available for him to spend, so will have to buy wisely. Had a lot injuries last season, that seriously frustrated Cifuentes. Seems like this has now been addressed. Good luck to Stephan and his team.

Gavin: The biggest problem for QPR last season was not really the manager but a lack of goals and a recognised and injury free striking combination. Perhaps we could nab Richard Kone from Wycombe Wanderers (potential 20 goals a season) as he's young, hungry, versatile and athletic enough that he can play as a loan striker coming from deep or as a long ball target man or in a 2 or 3 man attack? With the excellent appointment of Steve Bould as defensive coordinator, I'm confident we will concede far fewer goals from now on, so it's goal scoring that needs to be the focus. Maybe Charlie Austin as a club legend could come back in some role as a strikers' mentor/coach to develop forward play skill, but with a highly enthusiastic and positive mental attitude? Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing the Hoops fighting as a unified team for promotion this coming season rather than flirting with relegation…

Paul: After 49 years of attending and actively supporting this club, my passion has gone. The current owners refuse to invest, even with Cifuentes' inspirational efforts: they treat the club like a trophy girlfriend. No decent striker in years, just desperately scraping up league one and two players discarded, or about to be, by their clubs. Relegation seems more certain than ever, but that could finally see the end of the current owners and Chairman, and that has to be a good thing.

John: One of optimism, which I think we should all have. The way the younger players come on can provide the Rs with a good future. We must not expect immediate success. He must be given time. I have been a supporter since our Third Division South days! I'm 84 and living in Cyprus.
