Perspective on Gregory Sacking
Football League - "The View from 'The Championship' - ITV Sport's Matt Smith calls on Championship chairmen to back their managers."
"...John Gregory was sacked by QPR this week, presumably because the new owners Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone fancied a different 'formula.' But are 7 games really enough to form a definitive judgement?
"I'm sure Gregory would refuse to make too many excuses for QPR's poor start to the season, certainly not the tragic death of the young striker Ray Jones. But people within the club tell me he dealt with that awful time like a leader of men, sensitively balancing the wishes of Ray's family with the needs of his players. That said, the new owners have taken their decision and are hardly likely to change their mind. What they can do is find a new manager, then support him properly and patiently...." Football League
