On this Day, Thirty-Eight Years Ago: "The Doc" Took Over at QPR: Tommy Docherty!

November 1, 1968: Tommy Docherty Took over at QPR...
28 Days later, Tommy Docherty left QPR!
Managers

In his four week spell, QPR did achieve one of their four wins they got that season: a 2-1 win at home to Nottingham Forest. QPR lost their other three games in the Docherty era.
When Docherty took over, there was a big thrill for QPR fans: A "big-time" manager taking over (even though he had come most recently from Rotherham). Aparently, there was some conflict with QPR Chairman Jim Gregory. Docherty wanted to sign a player (Tiler?). Gregory didn't want to sign him. QPR didn't sign him. Docherty left, criticizing the team, but praising Rodney Marsh.
Docherty took over at Aston Villa (who went down!)...And Les Allen became QPR's Player Manager, and QPR went down.
Just over a decade later, Docherty was back at QPR managing under Jim Gregory, and lasted less than 18 months, before again being fired..
