Manager Holloway suspended by QPR
Queens Park Rangers have suspended manager Ian Holloway and placed coach Gary Waddock in temporary charge, BBC Sport understands.
Holloway has been placed on "gardening leave" by chairman Gianni Paladini after a series of bad results and behind-the-scenes problems.

Rangers have slumped to 15th in the Championship table and Holloway has faced mounting criticism from fans.

Holloway has been linked with the vacant manager's post at Leicester.

But he was told by Paladini on Sunday night that he was being relieved of his duties at Loftus Road whether or not he lands the Foxes job.

Cash-strapped Rangers cannot afford the pay-off it would take to sack the ex-Bristol Rovers chief, who signed an improved contract last year.

And with Holloway facing competition for the Leicester job from caretaker boss Rob Kelly and Luton's Mike Newell, the west London club have suspended him on full pay along with coaches Tim Breacker and Gary Penrice.

[Yorkshire Vixen]

well if thats true that should be a good enough reason not to appoint him :icon_bigg

 

[Han]

[Singth]

I bet he becomes our manager this week. I won't be too happy.

The main reason I wouldn't want Holloway is the fact he just isn't very good,QPR are 7 points ahead of us and sliding fast...Why would we want him.Because he's been suspended at QPR would IMO mean he isn't coming here.

 

[Rayvon]

hes a nob. the only thing he ever does is make stupid comments to the media, if he is appointed i'll be starting a bring back Peter Taylor campaign

Reported slightly differently on the QPR official site.

QPR have announced that Ian Holloway has been placed on 'gardening leave.'

Gary Waddock has been appointed as caretaker manager and will be taking first team training as of today.

Waddock is currently being consulted about a potential caretaker assistant manager to join him in the next few days.

The move follows speculation about Holloway joining Leicester City as their new manager.

The club is keen to avoid any distraction to the playing side and to move forward with the rest of the season as speedily as possible.

It has therefore put Ian Holloway and his managerial staff, Gary Penrice and Tim Breacker, on gardening leave with immediate effect.

Gary Waddock started at work on Monday morning in training with the players and in preparation for next Saturday's derby game against Millwall.

Gianni Paladini said: "QPR has not sacked Ian, but we are concerned about recent performances and the effect the speculation about Ian joining Leicester City might have on the players.

"I hope we can sort something out with Ian as soon as possible. QPR will always be enormously grateful for the contribution he has made over the past five years, in particular gaining promotion for us in 2004.

"However, it is crucial the team are focussed and able to move forward, which is why we have appointed Gary as Caretaker Manager. I hope the fans will get behind Gary for the home derby against Millwall on Saturday."

QPR can't afford to pay him off, IMO they started these rumours to try and drum up some interest in him.

He isn't coming here IMO.

Paul Simpson will go there IMO.
