Apparently QPR have just sacked John Gregory - oh dear, here we go again.
I wasn’t a great fan of Gregory before he took over at Loftus Road, but I have to say that in the last year he has done nothing but good for the club, and has earnt my respect by the way in which he’s behaved. The signings he’s brought in haven’t all been perfect, but they’ve been of a different order from those that Waddock and Holloway managed before him, and whilst there have been a few turkeys there have also been a few gems - Nardiello, Ledgerwood, Walton, Bolder and Camp are all clearly better than the players they have replaced.
I do think he’s made some dubious selection decisions - sticking with Rehman and Moore, and largely ignoring Ward, Bignot and Timoska both seem strange to me.
However, considering the ridiculous conditions he’s been forced to work under, I think it’s completely stupid to sack him now. We’re finally in a position to buy a few better players in January, so why not give him a chance until then.
More to the point, what exactly is a new manager supposed to do differently between now and January? Unless they manage to bring in someone spectacularly well connected who has quality players flocking to come and work with him… hmm, that bloke Jose is free apparently.
