Gregory goes at QPR

It's hardly a surprise. QPR are now three points adrift at the bottom of the league and are still to win a game. They also went out of the Carling Cup to Leyton Orient in the first round. Yesterday they lost 5-1 to West Brom at the Hawthorns and it really was a shocking performance defensively and you sensed the axe was about to fall.

Gregory has been in charge since September of last year after coming in to replace Gary Waddock. They were never able to find any sort of form and only a run of four wins in five games during April pulled them away from the bottom of the league.

The club has recently been taken over and there's money to be spent in January. It was always thought they might look to replace Gregory and there was much speculation a week last Saturday when Gianluca Vialli turned up in the directors' box.

Whether Vialli will be the new man in charge remains to be seen. For now Gregory's assistant Mick Harford has taken on the role of caretaker manager and he'll be in charge for their game this Wednesday at Layer Road against Colchester, the club he left in the summer to work for Gregory at QPR.
