QPR flooded with applications for manager's job, reveals Les Ferdinand

Keeping the seat warm: Neil Warnock will be in charge until QPR hire a new coach
Simon Johnson17 November 2015

QPR director of football Les Ferdinand has revealed the club have been flooded with applications for the manager’s job and hope to make an appointment within a month.

Neil Warnock was put in charge at Loftus Road after Chris Ramsey was fired a fortnight ago, but Ferdinand insists it will be on a temporary basis.

However, Warnock still remains one of the favourites for the post, along with former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson, Burton Albion’s Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as well as Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked by Liverpool last month. QPR fans’ favourite Ian Holloway is also in the running and Ferdinand is aware of the importance of the decision.

Ferdinand told Standard Sport: “We are in the process of interviewing people and getting a shortlist of names together. There have been loads who have applied from all round Europe.

“There is no rush. We have Neil Warnock in charge who will be in the job until we get someone in. We have to make sure it’s the right man.”
