QPR fans are divided over the club's decision to axe manager Neil Warnock.

The 63-year-old was fired as Rangers boss this afternoon after a dismal nine-game winless streak that leaves them hovering just a point above the Premier League drop zone.

But the Loftus Road faithful are mixed over whether owner Tony Fernandes was right to show Warnock the door.

Jim Seedhouse said: “It's very very harsh! We seem to forget where we were when he took over. He did a great job to get us out of the Championship as champions....people have short memories.”

Chris Delaney added: “Warnock came in when QPR were in a bad way and brought the club back to the Premier League.

“Neil Warnock should be thanked for all he done for this club and we do need stronger players. I don't think sacking him is a moral boast for the players.

“Any club promoted will always have a hard time, so he'll be sadly missed.”

However, sections of supporters believed Fernandes was right to act now to address QPR's alarming slide down the table in a bid to keep them up.

Michael Biggs said: “Motivating a team capable of challenging for promotion is vastly different to skills needed for motivation to fight against relegation.

“Neil was good in one of these areas several times, but unproven in the other. Odd team choices, formations, subs, and players being played out of position shows a degree of panic imo, so it was right he went now.”

Ali Moustafa added: “He was the best while in Championship but it's time to improve. Good decision by board by not taking anymore chances and no hard feelings with Mr Warnock.”
