On 28 June 2006, Holloway was put on Gardening leave and eventually left for Plymouth Argyle and Gary Waddock was appointed full-time manager.

[1] On 20 September 2006, after a poor set of results had left QPR bottom of the table, Waddock was replaced by John Gregory.

Unfortunately, results did not continue to improve, and relegation looked a distinct possibility for Gregory's men.

However, following a fine late season run, QPR beat Cardiff 1–0 at Loftus Road on 21 April 2007 to secure their Championship status for another year.
