Sousa admits he's not charge

Four days after suggesting he was in complete control at Rangers, Paulo Sousa has conceded that he played no part in Dexter Blackstock's loan move to Nottingham Forest.

To make things worse, Sousa claimed: "I do always what I want and all the decisions are mine" less than a week after Blackstock left for the City Ground.

It's the clearest sign yet, that despite the millions (which haven't been spent) the club is not being run like a successful one should be.

It's embarrassing for Sousa, but you can't help but sympathise with him.

After the goaless draw with Palace today, he explained: "I gave the players two days off after the Bristol City game and when I came back Mr Paladini told me he had an agreement for him to go on loan".

Imagine Sir Alex Ferguson not knowing about one of his players going out on loan. There's more chance of QPR winning all of their remaining games this season, squeezing into the play-offs and beating United to the Premier League title next year.

How does Flavio Briatore have the right to make decisions related to football? Fair enough, he's an astute businessman, so why doesn't he stick to the business stuff then?

It's incredible that he shows such a complete lack of respect for football as a discipline, that he feels in the slightest bit qualified to make such important decisions.

Why should supporters be expected to pay good money to get behind a team that has a lame duck manager?

If Sousa can't look his players in the eye and tell them where the buck stops, then he'll never command the respect to build a successful team.

What's it going to take for Briatore to realise that he pays Sousa all that money to make decisions about football and not to look pretty on the touchline?

If your serious about success here, then take those silly glasses off and rub your eyes for long enough to wake up, signore.
