KEEN TO LEARN: Impey has been working with Under 18s coaches Paul Furlong and Paul Hall
“The reality is that once he has done his badges, there may not be a position at the club to bring him into. But once he’s got them, if we feel his coaching is up-to-speed and he can add something to this football club, then we will look to bring him in if we can.
“Andy has been very enthusiastic. He has been in every day, he’s been going to away games, just to see how the coaches operate and how the whole process works.”
Ferdinand, QPR’s Director of Football, has a clear vision about the requirements of any potential coach for the club.
“First and foremost, they have to be good at what they do,” he said. “Plus, they need to understand the way we want to do things. We have set out a template for our coaches, which explains how they can progress our players. Any potential coaches need to understand that and buy into it.
“If they have QPR connections after that, then that’s great but what’s paramount is their coaching capabilities, and understanding what we’re trying to do here.

QPR CONNECTION: Impey played for QPR between 1990 and 1997
“What I like about having people involved here who know the club is that they understand what this place means to Queens Park Rangers fans.
“They also know about the club in terms of its history and what it has been through. Plus, they have Queens Park Rangers in their heart, and that’s important.”

Not much room for sentiment but provided guys are up to the job it's nice to have that QPR connection.

 

Great player for us, but a massive Arsenal fan!

 

I think it's a reasonable to give ex-players a chance to earn their badges with us.

It's got to be inspiring to the kids and we get to cheer pick any talented ones from amongst them.

 

"... ... he’s been going to away games, just to see how the coaches operate ..."

And once he gets his licence he hopes to drive one.

"Move down the bus, please. Plenty of room at the back. We can't start until you are all sat down."

 

All perfectly fine.........................as long he's good enough!

 

I think he would be OK as the Shadow knows...

Wormwood, they said "shadow the coaches" NOT "coach the shadows".
