da spicy bet： Steven McClaren was dismissed as QPR manager on Monday morning after the Rs suffered a humiliating 2-1 home defeat against Bolton Wanderers, a result which has left them just eight points clear of the relegation zone.
It seems unlikely that the west London outfit will drop into the third tier this season but their barren run of form of late has sealed McClaren’s fate.
Attention will now turn towards his successor and discussion is already rife regarding a handful of candidates who could step into the former England manager’s shoes.
A common theme running throughout reports is QPR’s need to appoint a manager who is willing to trust in young players due to the club’s financial situation.
Here’s what the media have had to say about McClaren’s dismissal:
Garry Rowett a contender – Birmingham Mail
An exclusive report from the Birmingham Mail has revealed Gary Rowett is a contender to take the reigns at Loftus Road.
The 45-year-old has been linked with to step into the QPR hotseat in the past, but his failure to get Stoke City into the playoff places before he was dismissed from his position at the Bet365 Stadium must surely pose a notable concern.
Four managers in contention – West London Sport
West London Sport have also claimed that Rowett is in the running for the job, but Tim Sherwood, Mark Warburton and Michael Appleton are also under consideration.
The report claims that Les Ferdinand has identified Sherwood as his first-choice option and the club would favour a swift appointment.
However, Appleton and Warburton have both showcased the ability to blood young players into the first-team squad in previous roles, and QPR’s financial constraints are likely to ensure that the next manager will need to trust in academy prospects.
Kevin Gallen talks up Tim Sherwood’s credentials – Sky Sports
Former QPR striker Kevin Gallen has delivered his verdict on Sherwood’s credentials amidst reports that he is a candidate to take the vacant role, per Sky Sports.
And the 43-year-old focused on Sherwood’s history with blooding in young players and suggested that his willingness to adopt that policy at Spurs makes him ideal for the job.
“He (Tim) didn’t have the greatest time at Villa but brought through a lot of youngsters through at Spurs.
“With Financial Fair Play at the moment and money troubles at QPR, they are in need someone who will operate under a lower budget working under restraint, and will need to bring young players through.”
