Holloway Expressing Himself About QPR!
All even on south coast as Holloway vents his anger

Ian Holloway left behind pistol hold-ups, courtroom drama, boardroom wranglings and severe debt problems for a sunny spot on the south coast - and some spending money. But the former QPR manager's feelings still burn on the subject of his treatment by the London club. And so guessed the press who turned up hungry for some 'BMW' (klafte ing, moaning, and whingeing, in Holloway speak) after he faced his old club.
Holloway was initially restrained - he didn't even mention QPR in his programme notes - but succumbed after the match. 'I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't emotional about it. Shall I tell you what brassed me off? When I left and he [Gary Waddock, current QPR manager] said, "I'm going to change the style of football played here overnight." He said it over and over again. But it was me who gave the fella a job in the first place.'
Holloway went on to list his frustrations. 'I was starved of cash, lost my chief scout, wasn't allowed to make decisions about the team. Then they threw me out and chucked me in the garden after five years. I thought it was unfair. I'm glad today's over because I shouldn't be sweating up in the paddock and today I was rather too lathered up for a horse of my experience.'

After 216 Days, Penrice & Breaker Remain on Gardening Leave-
It's now 216 days since Gary Penrice and Tim Breaker were placed on Gardening Leave (along with Ian Holloway) with no explanation as to what THEY had done to be placed on Gardening Leave. Despite Ian Holloway talking about them joining him at Plymouth, as of yesterday, this still had not occurred. Hopefully this soon will change.
Penrice and Breaker
216 days And counting...Since Gary Penrice and Tim Breaker were placed on Gardening Leave (with no explanation as to what THEY had done to merit such treatment)
216 Days...31 weeks..Seven months...6,384 hours...From the depth of winter...through spring...Summer...and now Autumn is approaching
On February 6, 2006 thhe club issued the following statemnt
"QPR have announced that Ian Holloway has been placed on 'gardening leave.'
Gary Waddock has been appointed as caretaker manager....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....
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."
