Former boss Jim Magilton has parted company with QPR “by mutual consent” along with his assistant John Gorman. Magilton was suspended last week after allegations that he headbutted midfielder Akos Buzsaky in a dressing room bust-up after their defeat to Watford.

A QPR statement says: “Recent events have been widely reported and whilst Jim Magilton completely denies the allegations, with the full support of John Gorman, it has been agreed that it is in the best interests of the club and Jim Magilton if the parties move on in their separate ways.

“The club would like to wish both Jim Magilton and John Gorman good luck in the future and thank them for their hard work.”

Magilton was sacked by Town in April and joined the West London club in the summer.

QPR have appointed former Portsmouth boss Paul Hart as Magilton's replacement.

randomblue added 09:48 - Dec 17 Hmmm... lets be honest was never going to result in anything but him leaving the club irrespective of whether anything actually happened! Glad he's not coming back to PR with them though! Whilst it would have been amusing to see the grief he would have got - pound to a penny a dodgey goal off someones arse would probably given them a lucky/undeserved win - just because that's how our luck has been this season! Not to mention he would be smug as sh#t in his post match! Personally I'm thinking his next job will be with the Irish FA! Roll on Crimbo though and lets get some goals and a few more points on the board! (And here's hoping Chuck gets a little run out on the 28th!)

matt_the_blue added 10:22 - Dec 17 Regardless of my opinion of Jim, I said at the time he'd be out before QPR visit us just based on Flavio's track record of sacking managers when they've only just got their office the way they like it. I think a job in NI beckons next...

naa added 10:42 - Dec 17 I think he should go down to League 1. I think he'd do a good job given time and less pressure. No idea why he went to QPR. No-one has lasted more than 5 mins since the idiots with the money took over.

naa added 10:56 - Dec 17 I see they've taken Paul Hart on. So, yet another low grade manager that hasn't had proven success. Glad I'm not a QPR fan, their board are numpties.

CheersThanksTa added 10:59 - Dec 17 Maybe Magic isnt the best example of managment material but I wont ever forget the hat trick he scored against Bolton. Whinging Allardyce and his second rate slug in comparison to Super Jonny Warks Marevellous Moustache!!

Berts_chin added 11:30 - Dec 17 Pity we didn't get rid of him when he (allegedly) did the same thing here. We might of had a bit more time for RK to settle in AND we might still have one of the brightest young goalscoring prospects on the books.

naa added 11:57 - Dec 17 Berts_chin: one of the stupidest posts I've seen. So you're blaming Magilton for Keane selling Rhodes and for getting us the worst start to a season in our history? Quite remarkable.

nthstd added 12:17 - Dec 17 Poor Jim seems the harsh world of football management is just that. Roy will survice at Town and I honestly hope he does well, but his hardman image is abag od spanners and I wish he'd bin it and be more reasonable. Rumours of norn irish people being biggoted and hotheaded are just that. We are a kind bunch really!

Bobajobblue added 14:04 - Dec 17 The writing was on the wall for Jim, culminating in Akos Buzsaky following team orders and allegedly launching his face into Magic's forehead. On a serious note, despite having some concerns over one or two of Keano's decisions(e.g. triple substitution against Preston) you have to give a manager time and we are starting to see the rewards, RK seems to be getting some of the basics right and we are on the up. QPR's predicament? well it beggars belief!

blueoveru added 15:30 - Dec 17 Well Jim lasted a month longer than i thought he would,does that count as a successful stay at qpr.

Bergholtblue added 16:40 - Dec 17 Is it right that Paul Hart's name has been written on the managers door in chalk just in case?

dobbie73 added 16:49 - Dec 17 Bergholtblue - lol! But I heard that QPR no longer have the manager's name written on the door. All it says is "THE MANAGER" ... cheaper when the guys last an average of 3 months!!
