The Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph now seem to
require registration to view articles on their sites, with the
Times and Sunday Times charging readers outside the UK. The
Times/Sunday Times has also moved some of the older articles into
an archive which requires separate registration and requires you to
pay to access the content. The Independent now charges for access
to articles more than a week old.
"He's got to stop letting speculation get to him - you've just
got to focus on your job," said Ian Holloway of his centre-half
Danny Shittu, who was the subject of several bids during the
transfer window. With rumours suggesting that the QPR manager may
this week take over at managerless Leicester, he was certainly
heeding his own advice.
The Bristolian was his usual self after watching his side slip
to a third consecutive defeat, picking the bones out of another
colourful week at Loftus Road. Five players were given their debuts
on Saturday, the result of a desperate scramble to produce a side
capable of competing at Elland Road. Training for a new system went
ahead on Friday without a goalkeeper. "I was very proud of my
Queens Park Strangers side," he said. "I've never known anything
like the last couple of days."
If Holloway has one eye on the Leicester vacancy he did not show
it, preferring to concentrate on the need for English lessons for
his new Polish left-back and his desire to see several senior
first-team members out of the treatment room. If Leicester have one
eye on Holloway it would be no surprise given his record -
promotion in 2004 has been followed by two seasons of stability in
the Championship, despite a decidedly unstable boardroom backdrop.
If there is one thing needed at the Walkers Stadium it is
stability.
