1998–99 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season

After a poor start to the 1998–99 season, Harford was sacked in September and replaced by Gerry Francis, returning for his second spell as QPR manager.^[1] After another disappointing season, Francis managed to somehow keep them clear of the relegation zone on goals scored at the expense of Bury, with QPR finishing in 20th place.
