Ian Holloway is trying to rekindle the spirit of Blackpool by setting up a players' committee to be part of the decision making process at Loftus Road.

The QPR boss has appointed Nedum Onuoha, James Perch, Jamie Mackie, Matt Smith, Alex Smithies and Ryan Manning to the group and is keen to add a seventh to ensure, in the event of a vote, there will not be a tie.

Holloway is keen for his squad to become self-governing and believes it will help them improve as a team.

“When I came here as a player, I felt we got better as a team when we demanded more from each other,” Holloway told the club's official website.

Beaten boss: Ian Holloway

“I didn’t care that Roy Wegerle was a wonderful passer and player. When he gave it away, he should be working harder to get it back. And that’s what I told him! Why should I work harder than one of my team-mates? That’s not right, is it? We should all work as hard as we can.

“And that’s what I want the players to do here now, be demanding of each other, have expectations.

“I did something similar at Blackpool – in the end, the dressing room ran itself and managed itself. If we had a lazy player, the lads would pull him, and let him know it wasn’t acceptable. At the end of the day, we are all striving to be the best we can be.

“I want to create a culture that is self-perpetuating, and that’s something they can all be part of.”
