Fans on Twitter react to Blackwell’s arrival
Many QPR fans on Twitter have reacted with bemusement to the appointment of Kevin Blackwell as an assistant to interim head coach Neil Warnock.
The pair worked together at Sheffield United, Huddersfield, Bury and Plymouth, while Blackwell was close to becoming QPR’s manager in 2009 but the club were unable to agree his release from the Blades.
Rangers supporters wondered why Warnock needed a number two as a caretaker, on the same day former R’s midfielder Shaun Derry was appointed Cambridge United boss.
Even #Leeds fans are laughing at this Blackwell appointment?! 😫😂 what are we on this better be the shortest of short term moves! #QPR — seAn (@Sean_FootyMad) November 12, 2015
Blackwell??? At least Derry would have been greeted with some goodwill. Why the hell does Warnock need an experienced hand anyway? Madness.

Kevin Blackwell? QPR are in one of those phases where I’m scared to wake up and check my phone each day for fear of what’s coming next 😂 — LoftforWords (@LoftforWords) November 12, 2015
Kevin Blackwell has now got a job at QPR. Leroy Griffiths and Ken Monkou understood to be hanging around South Africa Rd on the off chance.

However, many fans of Sheffield United looked on in envy at the reunion of the management duo who took the Blades into the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final.
