Interesting appointment. Hoddle joins Harry.

Seems like a smart move by 'Arry' and a good one for Glenn too. It is a way for Hoddle to get a foot back in to football management by taking up a coaching role at QPR. It will also do them no harm by having someone with Hoddle's coaching ability and know how on the team. A good appointment for everyone concerned I think.

He'll still be better than any of the players on their current squad

A good appointment. Harry is criticised for his old boys club of Jordan & Bond and clearly know he needs other ideas (hence Cotterill and McClaren).

Looking to play 3-5-2 means Glenn is an obvious choice as he championed it 15 years ago. Whether he can help implement it in modern day football is the question.

This is perfect for him; he's always had a problem being the manager and dealing with players (especially the less talented ones) so purely coaching should suit the legend.

I wonder if this will affect transfers/loans between the clubs? For instance, Hoddle rates Tom Carroll doesn't he? Although TC didn't have a brilliant loan result last year at QPR....you never know.

As said above, seems a smart move for the pair of them but I wonder (much like Keane & Lambert) if there is a potential of Hoddle taking over from 'Arry?

Worth a cheeky £10 bet?!

With regards to 3-5-2 isnt that what LVG is trying to do at Man Utd?

To put it in the famous Sir Alf Ramsey quote, Hoddle was 15 years ahead of his time.

also it's been pretty successful at everton....

This could be a very canny move. Hoddle is tactically very astute and knows how to set up a football team. He is let down by his personal skills: he notoriously cannot manage players he does not get on with and his squads tend to fracture into cliques.

By contrast, Redknapp, although tactically more sophisticated than his reputation would suggest, is primarily a master at forming squads into teams. They sound like a good combination.

Itchy and scratchy lol

No combination here.

QPR have their next manager all ligned up ready to go.
