Heard from a QPR supporter tonight that Ian Holloway will be leaving after this weekend, they had their sponsors and awards night the other night and Holloway didn't appear, and all the talk with the players was that Holloway is going,
Bizarrely though the Wally with the Brolly is being tipped to take over 😅
The waste of space that is Chris Martin is already being touted to be joining if McClaren does get the job.
Holloway has been fired... It's official now.
Ian Holloway has left his post as manager at Championship side Queens Park Rangers after 18 months in charge.
The 55-year-old was in his second spell with the R's and guided the club to 16th in the table this season.
According to reports on Wednesday, ex-England manager Steve McClaren, who spent time as a coach at QPR in 2013, has already been earmarked for the job.
"We are hugely grateful to Ian for his incredible efforts during his time with us," said chief executive Lee Hoos.
"He joined us at a critical stage as we looked to reduce the wage bill, bring in younger talent and remain competitive on the pitch.
"That is no easy task and it was down to his desire, love for the club and hard work that he achieved those goals."
Holloway won 26 of his 80 matches after returning to Loftus Road in November 2016, drawing 14 and losing the other 40, and had one year remaining on his contract.
He helped Rangers narrowly avoid relegation last season as they finished the 2016-17 campaign in 18th, two points above the bottom three.
After spending five years with QPR during his playing career, Holloway first took charge of the club in February 2001 and won promotion from the third tier in 2003-04 before leaving in February 2006.
"We are now looking to take the next step as we continue to work through what is a vital period of transition for the club," added Hoos.
The owner has lost interest and no longer wants to invest. Not sure what any manager can do really. It's a club on a slippery slope.

Unless it's a Penalty, then he never saw it!! 😀
How long has Lee Hoos been at QPR
They're anticipating the return of an old favourite next season. Personally, I doubt it'll be Peter Crouch as they hope, more likely Wayne Routledge I think.

it was the Mittals with the real finical clout, and they pulled out sometime ago. Tony doesn't have the money to do it on his own.
McLaren? Are they completely mad? This is a club that needs a total overhaul from top to bottom but yet again their maniac of a Chairman leads them down the wrong path. Long may it continue.

It might very well be Gerry Francis, if he promises to get his hair cut.
Holloway is like a caricature of himself.Did OK with what he had.Suprised they sacked him and have split the fans before Maclaren starts.When does the fire sale start.Last year of their Parachute payments and big FFP fine due.Shame
