One hundred days ago, Gary Wadock's departure from Loftus Road was announced by the club, employing the phrase "[QPR] have parted company with Gary Waddock." What made this "surprising" was that Waddock's departure came just weeks after Chairman Paladini and new manager, John Gregory had specifically declared that the demoted Waddock would be staying and working with and under (and learning from) new manager, Gregory. It was also made stranger by the choice of wording.
Waddock was appointed first acting manager last February after Chairman Paladini placed Ian Holloway on "Gardening Leave", and then "permanent" manager in June.
In recent weeks, several of the players signed this summer during the Waddock managership have departed the club. Whether Waddock was solely and entirely responsible for finding and signing them, is an interesting question.
October 19, 2006 -QPR OFFICIAL STATEMENT - WADDOCK DEPARTS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club have parted company with Gary Waddock.
Waddock was named as manager on June 28 after a spell as caretaker manager following the departure of Ian Holloway.
The former Rangers midfielder moved into a coaching role when John Gregory was then appointed at the end of last month.
QPR would like to thank Gary and wish him every success in the future.
Statement
How Paladini and Gregory and Waddock described Waddock's new role immediately after the change of managers -
Waddock "It's the right decision for the club, I'm just thankful that Gianni thinks enough of me to keep me here as Assistant Manager. "I look forward to working with John, we both played together under Terry Venables and have the same work ethic.
"I'll learn a lot from him and I'm sure that this appointment will benefit the club I love." Paladini and Gregory on Waddock's New Role
NB: Chairman Paladini's September 22 comments re John Gregory's appointment as manager, and Gary Waddock's role in the new regime
