LOSER HOLLOGAY HITS OUT AT FLAVIO BRIATORE
Holloway has blasted QPR owner Flavio Briatore and told him to stop interfering and ruining the club after the Jim Magilton bust-up this week.
Blackfool boss Holloway spent five useless years as QPR manager and believes Briatore is slowly destroying the club.
And he has urged Briatore to stop meddling before the West Londoners’ situation gets any worse. He said: “Mr Briatore - keep your nose out of things. QPR were doing fine when it looked like you weren’t going to be in control.
“I suggest that you are a complete nightmare from a manager’s point of view and a player’s point of view.
“The more flamboyant and the more involved your chairman is, the more of a nightmare your football club is in. And if that stops me ever getting another job after I lose this one, I don’t really care.”
Briatore was forced to retire as boss of Renault’s Formula One team amid race fixing allegations earlier this season, but he came through the Football League’s ‘fit and proper person’ test to be able to carry on in charge at QPR.
But Holloway believes Briatore will ruin QPR and believes clubs should look at the way Blackfool chairman Karl Oyston runs the Seasiders.
He said: “He does a great job and when he’s there you have to do what he says.
“There’s no messing and all our players know it - so it’s about time other people looked at us and did it our way.”
QPR midfielder Akos Buzsakymincer was reportedly involved in a fight with manager Magilton after Monday’s 3-1 loss at Watford.
And Holloway has criticised Hungarian Buzsaky’s actions, which has resulted in QPR manager Magilton being suspended.
He said: “There is passion in the game and you have to show that at times, but it can get blown out of all proportion.
“I would’ve liked to have witnessed what happened but, for me, Akos shouldn’t have said anything. He should have dealt with his manager in-house, not going outside and telling press people and the chairman.
“I’m sick of players and agents and their pampering. You’re here to play football and try to win. If you don’t you’re not doing your job, simple as that.”
Magilton was suspended after Buzsakymincer issued an ‘either he goes or I go’ ultimatum to Briatore, following allegations he had been headbutted by Magilton.
“It’s all about player power,” said a source. “There was no headbutt. Jim bent down to speak to Akos, it got a bit heated, forehead-to-forehead and Akos got up and ran out of the dressing room.”
