In these situations clubs often claim they will not make a reactionary firing until it becomes apparent they are staring relegation in the face. QPR have reached that point - it is pretty obvious GA is going to take them down, and I have a feeling they are going to roll the dice once more time in an effort to stop that happening.
If anything ever summed up the difference between Wycombe GA and QPR GA, it is that infamous Haka. At Wycombe, he had full buy in, and everyone had a laugh with it. At QPR, it looked like a lost episode of 'The Office'.
In fairness there was another clip where the players were clearly enjoying themselves.
Makes a better story showing their initial shock reaction to it though.
They won't be going down because their manager has tried a gimmick. They'll be doing down as they're an utterly woeful set of nonentities with their best players injured,
Tbf I've had a look on their forum, and a lot of fans are still backing him and blaming the players and owners, I think generally they do still want him to do well and feel sorry for him

The only positive for Gaz, is that there is basically 1 relegation place up for grabs, and 3 or 4 crap teams.
It may only take about 4 or 5 more points to secure staying up.
I'm surprised he survived the Haka.

Reading are doing their best to compete.
With that 6 point deduction reinstated you'd feel they would already be safe though.
Talking of The Office, it looks like he'll be bringing his dog to Adams Park quite soon.
In a way it could inspire Reading...Hard done by and all that.
Not sure what would have happened if he'd tried the Haka here two weeks in with the squad and confidence we had at that time.
I agree - the timing looked a little desperate to begin with.
Mehmeti just scored for BC.

'Hi Gareth...here again? I hope you're not disturbing them ...' 'If passing on some tactical advice is disturbing them...'
It just seemed a huge risk after a week or two, as it always had infamy potential if nothing improved on the pitch.
It's insane how the switcheroo of managers has been an utter disaster for all 3 clubs!
We've gone from a strong winning spell to lower middle table sort of form.
QPR have lost 5/6
Col Utd haven't won since he went, and are now only out of the relegation by 1 point!
Has there every been a triple managerial switcheroo as bad as that?
Not sure if @ReturnToSenda has a free evening, but that'd fill it.
QPRs line up much more recognisable today, looks like players have returned from injury but only one shot on target
PNL just a point off the drop after their plucky draw with Wednesday.
Notts County and Wrexham both now at 100pts with min four games to go. Only one automatic promotion place….
Crazy isn't it. 25 points between 2nd and 3rd.
And they play each other in a probable title decider on Monday...
Very reminscent of the great Wycombe v Col Utd promotion battle of the early 90s.
There needs to be three up three down from the Conference. The bottleneck is just getting silly now.
This is the first time all season I’ve really thought QPR will go down. GA might be out of a job on Tuesday.

Totally agree. He may have basically traded in a ratio of one game at QPR per one year at Wycombe.
Surely they can't only give him a couple of months?
That'd be a new low even for them.
And what a CV! Managed two teams in the Championship, got both relegated.
The poor sod.
Critchley got 12 games, GA has had 8.
7 isn't it?
Blackburn being the first of 6 defeats, with Rotherham, Blackpool, Birmingham, Wigan, Preston the others.
Sole win v Watford.
Blooms has had 9. 2wins, 3 draws, 4 losses.
Yep, I was counting Monday.
I guess it depends if QPR think they can afford to pay three managers!
Why do we need a line of stewards and police wearing helmets to protect the Burnley players from their own fans?
