Having sacked Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in November last year, Queens Park Rangers replaced the Dutchman with Ian Holloway, who had previously guided the club for five years during a spell in the early 2000’s.

Hasselbaink was sacked in November with the club in 17th place and only 6 points away from the relegation zone following a poor start to the season, and Holloway was brought it to stablise the sinking ship.

Fast forward to the end of the season, and the R’s finished 18th, and just 2 points above the bottom three.

Although they stayed up, the club actually regressed under Holloway, who also led QPR to two spells of six successive defeats throughout his 6 months of league action last season.

Holloway can consider himself lucky to still be in a job, and will, surely be given the chop if his side start the new season poorly.

The season ended a month ago, and the only player brought into the club thus far is Josh Scowen from Barnsley, and with clubs around the west London side strengthening since the end of the last campaign, QPR could find themselves in trouble if Holloway doesn’t pull his finger out soon.

Holloway’s only saving grace is that QPR were not relegated last season, as the former Blackpool manager has done little to improve the club since his return in November.

Regression, and a lack of transfer activity, chairman Tony Fernandes could be on the lookout for a new boss by the end of August.
