Holloway wants summer of ins and outs at QPR
Ian Holloway reiterated his determination to revamp QPR’s squad after they ended a miserable season with a 4-0 defeat at Norwich.
The result, Rangers’ seventh loss in eight matches, meant they finished 18th in the Championship – the club’s lowest placing for 10 years.
Now manager Holloway is keen to bring in new faces.
“It’s all about the people we bring. I’ve got to get them right,” he said.
“I’m old enough to know that it’s not about today. It’s all about pre-season, it’s about getting the scouting network to find us some new different faces.
“If I can move some things in and out it’ll be a joy to be able to try to get better than we have been.”
Rangers were soundly beaten at Carrow Road and Holloway admitted the scoreline could have been even more embarrassing, but he defended the effort of his players.
“I don’t think my lads didn’t try, but we were nowhere near,” he said.
“We had one or two efforts, but that was one game too much for the squad, with the injuries we had.
“It just proved a huge learning curve for the people we have got in there and it was probably too much for them on the day.”

tony fernandes has made plenty of honest mistakes in his time at QPR
but keeping IH out of sentiment would be the biggest mistake yet.We have ended up 2 points from disaster, a disaster of IH”s makingsf allowed to continue this time next season, we could all be rueing another
big decision not taken, you should know by now Mr.Fernandes that there is NO room for sentiment in our gaminget rid of IH,now is the right time ,when there are so many good managers looking for new clubs.

We are only going one way with him in charge and it’s not up … change is needed now to give the new manager a pre season .. it won’t happen though as we all know

IH should never have been given the job in the first place, Management had a golden opportunity to bring in a manager who could have moved this club forward again,instead we will be looking for a new manager come end of September !!!! LF needs to move on as well

IH wants ins and outs,the first one out should be IH,from the time he came in the team has not improved one iota,infact we are worst now with a worst record than when JFH was in charge and we got rid of him,so why keep IH????.

It’s a bit rich IH saying we need to turfhalg of this lot out and get another lot in. If we fielded a stable team we’d have been fine. If tactics weren’t changed so much the players might understand what they were doing. IH is a problem of he doesn’t see what he did as I thought LF had said we were safe and IH was experimenting.

Big risk to leave IH in charge.
