Bump/Edit Three Years.... 
No one in their worst nightmare would have believed that thirteen years later, we wouldn't have returned to the Premiership - or that all the things that have happened to us another relegation, ABC Loan, Boardroom crap, the dismantlement of the "real/old" QPR would have occurred.
SIXTEEN YEARS AGO... April 13, 1996 QPR's 0-1 loss at Coventry assured Ray's Wilkins QPR were relegated from the Premiership. We have never looked back! Probably not in anyone's worst nightmare would they have believed how far we would sink. And the idea that we wouldn't be returning to the Premiership - at least not for a decade - was in few of our minds.
Eoin gets it Jess right!; Coventry 1 QPR 0.(Sport)
Sunday Mirror (London, England); 4/14/1996;
" EOIN JESS came off the bench and picked the perfect moment to score his first goal for Coventry - and it could well keep the Sky Blues in the Premiership.
City boss Ron Atkinson beamed: "Jessy is very much a passing player and that's what we needed. He proved a very big factor by changing the course of the game."
The priceless winner came on 69 minutes. Gordon Strachan crossed from the right, Dion Dublin headed the ball back across goal and Jess charged in to score with a bullet header.
Big Ron continued: "The whole game was very tense but in the second half we had ..."
QPR: Sommer, Bardsley, McDonald, Yates, Brevett, Barker, Holloway, Impey, Sinclair, Gallen, Hateley - Sub Wilkins
Coventry: Ogrizovic, Pickering, Daish, Rennie Hall, Williams, Richardson, Ndlovu, Strachan, Dublin, Whelan - Jess
