QPR chief says no Holloway return
Ian Holloway
Holloway has two years left on his contract at QPR
QPR chairman Gianni Paladini says there is no way back for former manager Ian Holloway at Loftus Road, but is adamant he will not sack him.

Holloway was suspended on Monday for asking to speak to Leicester City about their vacant manager's job.

"Once he applied for the Leicester job we felt he could not concentrate on our team," Paladini said.

Paladini added that Holloway will be paid for the rest of his two-year QPR contract if he does not get a new job.

He added: "He hasn't been sacked. We will honour his contract until the end."

Paladini felt Holloway's mind was no longer on the job at Loftus Road, saying: "If a man is happily married why would he look for another woman?

"If you get the opportunity to speak to someone it's your choice whether to go, or to stay.

"Maybe it's better for him to move, maybe he's been here too long. I don't blame him for looking."

Holloway cannot speak about his departure from QPR for legal reasons, but BBC Sport has tried unsuccessfully to contact his agent.
