Steve McClaren was today sacked as QPR manager, but Ian Holloway has no sympathy for the man he claims ‘took my job.’
McClaren lasted less than a year in the Loftus Road dugout, and he has been dismissed following a run of 11 defeats in the past 14 matches – and only one win since Boxing Day.
QPR chiefs were growing increasingly worried by the never-ending slump, which saw the west Londoners drop to within eight points of the Championship’s relegation places.
After Saturday’s woeful home defeat by second-last Bolton, the decision was made to axe the 57-year-old – and Holloway is certainly not annoyed by the news.

Ollie was sacked last May with McClaren succeeding him at Loftus Road, and he slammed his successor for allegedly talking to Tony Fernandes, the club’s chairman at the time, behind his back, and questioned why principles he was told to adhere to are not being followed through.
“He took my job,” Holloway told talkSPORT. “I still had another year left at the club. I’m still being paid by them now.
“He was talking to the chairman while I was in the job, saying what he’d do and what he’d change. He hasn’t been able to do that.
“What goes around comes around. Where the hell are the young lads I was told to bring through? [Ebere] Eze isn’t playing, what about [Ryan] Manning? They’re not playing.

“I was told to promote the youth and bring people in who cared about the club, it’s not happening.
“Would I go back? It depends who calls me, Les [Ferdinand, director of football] didn’t want me to go.”
Holloway was frustrated to lose his job with a year remaining on his contract, and compared McClaren replacing him as manager with someone ‘taking his kids’.

“He had my babies and took my kids,” he continued. “It means the world to me.
“I felt I was in the best position to do that job. I wanted an extension on my contract.
