QPR SACK IAN HOLLOWAY

IAN HOLLOWAY HAS BEEN SACKED BY QPR. 
Ian Holloway was appointed in November 2016

 QPR finished the season in 16th place in the Championship table. It was Holloway's second spell in charge of the West London side and he managed to win just 26 of his 80 games in charge of the club. There has been speculation around his future with widespread reports that former England and Derby manager Steve McClaren would replace him once the season had ended.

A statement on the clubs official website read: "On behalf of the Board we are hugely grateful to Ian for his incredible efforts during his time with us.

"He joined us at a critical time when we were looking to cut the wage bill, bring in younger talent and remain competitive on the pitch at the same time.

"That is no easy feat and it was down to his desire, love for the club and hard work that he achieved those goals.

"However, we are now looking to take the next step as we continue to work through what is vital period of transition for the football club"

What's Next?

For QPR if the rumours are correct then it looks like they already know who their next Manager or Head Coach will be Steve McClaren however comes with a lot of baggage especially from his time in charge at Derby where they went from the top of the league at Christmas to missing out on the play-offs and of course from his first spell when he was sacked at the end of the season before joining Newcastle where he also was sacked. Would it be a good appointment I'm not so sure. Mick McCarthy would be a good appointment in my opinion.

For "Ollie" I don't know where he goes from here, after his disaster spell in charge of Millwall and an uninspiring season and a half at QPR can he return to management I'm not so sure, I think he will find it very hard to get another job at this level possibly a club in League One would be his best shot at another job maybe a club like Barnsley who are looking to return to the second tier. He does also of course have the option of re-joining Sky the job he left to take the reins at Loftus Road.

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
