Queens Park Rangers (QPR) is set to bid farewell to Les Ferdinand in his director of football role amidst a growing number of criticisms from fans. The former R’s and England striker has served in the position since 2015 but has faced numerous criticisms in recent years, particularly as QPR plunged into a series of struggles that impacted their performance on the field. Last season, the club narrowly dodged relegation to League One after finishing 20th in the Championship. QPR witnessed a significant upheaval in its management, with the departure of Michael Beale and the subsequent sacking of Neil Critchley after just 12 games.
Ferdinand, who was placed at the helm to help the club’s bid to return to the Premier League, is expected to step down from his post following increasing backlash. There is no timeline in place for Ferdinand’s departure, but it is anticipated he will relinquish his post soon.
The news of Ferdinand’s resignation comes as a shock to many QPR fans, who had hoped that his experience as a club legend and former England player would have paved the way for success. However, the board of QPR received criticism over the season, with many accusing Ferdinand of being a passive force in ensuring the team’s success.
Despite the frustrations of the club’s management and supporters alike, upcoming weeks before the new season could offer new hope and changes to the team, as they search for a replacement for the departing director.
