One Year Ago Today: QPR "Part[ed] Company" With Gary Waddock

-
One year ago today, QPR announced they had "Parted Company" with Waddock. Waddock's departure came less than a Month after Chairman Paladini had declared that Waddock would be staying and working with/under John Gregory (and that in fact the Gregory's appointment had been made in consultation with Waddock and that Gregory had spoken about Waddock learning by his side.
A year later, of course, Gregory himself has now gone. Presumably if things had turned out a little different, Waddock might today be QPR's caretaker manager. Instead Waddock of Aldershot, where he just won the 'Manager of the Month' Award.)
