Queens Park Rangers have sacked manager Neil Warnock.

 

The former Sheffield United manager has presided over a slump in the club’s position, with QPR currently sitting 17th in the Premier League.

 

And the fact that Warnock took over at Loftus Road with the side 20th in the Championship in March 2010 before guiding the club to promotion the next season, has not spared him from the axe.

 

"The Board’s commitment to retaining our Premier League status ultimately led to this decision", read a statement released by QPR.

 

"This decision has been made in the best interests of the Club", said chairman Tony Fernandes, "and I can assure everyone that this is not a decision that was made lightly.

 

"Sadly, our recent run of poor form has seen us slip alarmingly down the table and the Board felt it was the right time to make a change."
