If Scolari can't get the best out of a Chelsea team full of world class players then what hope has he got managing in the championship?
Fair enough, he won the World Cup, but that was with a group of players he could actually talk to without stumbling on every other word and making most of the others sound like the end of a sentence. That World Cup also came in a knock out tournament, during which anything was possible - and he just happened to have the best players in the world.
He then lost to Greece as Portugal boss in the final of Euro 2004, when they were odds on to win, choked against France at the semi-final stage of World Cup 2006 and massively under-performed during Euro 2008.
But still, for some reason, was regarded the best man for the Chelsea job when Jose Mourinho left and Avram Grant was inexplicably dismissed after an impressive spell in charge. There's no doubt Rangers have the ability and resources to attract names like Scolari and Romario, but what use are big names with no experience in English football?
What we need is someone with the knowledge and relevant experience to take the club to the next level, not a big name looking to cash in on an easy six months. What would Romario have to lose if he took the job? He could get sacked in a few months, fly back to Brazil with a small fortune and never be seen again.
The board needs to strike a balance between getting into the premier league and making QPR a global brand. The problem is, they seem to be too concerned with the latter.
Employing someone like Scolari may raise the club's profile, but it wont get us promoted and that will ultimately determine how far we go.
What the club need is someone who knows the English leagues inside out, has a proven track record of success at this level and is passionate about football in this country.
Neil Warnock or Alan Curbishley would be much better options than Luiz Felipe Scolari or Romario, so hopefully the board will save time asking Jose Mourinho if they should employ one of his mates and instead use a bit of common sense.
