Edit a year:

Twenty Eight years ago....

June 1984

"Gordon Jago is dismissed as Queens Park Rangers general manager despite an agreement arrived at a week ago whereby he would not be involved in the playing side of the club. Chairman Jim Gregory feels Jago presence will make it difficult to appoint a top-class manager." -

[As I recall, we were trying for David Pleat as the team manager under Jago.]

So instead of Jago and Pleat, we ended up with...The Appointment of Alan Mullery

Gianni Paladini to QPR Report: "I would like to thank you for all your time and efforts that you put into QPR. I think you are doing something useful and informative for the club and the supporters."

Jim gregory made some inspirational decisions and also a few real howlers. This being one. Losing Ron Phillips was another. Allowing bowles to leave another, allowing Marsh to leave another. Allowing Sexton to go another.. I liked Jim Gregory. met him personally a couple of times. Not squeaky clean nor innocent - what Millionaire ever is? They don't get rich from being Mr nice guy. But jim did have QPR's best interests at heart for the msot part, despite the odd wayward decision.

The football we played under Gordon was the most exciting I have ever seen from a Rangers side. Thank you Sir.
