The Dutchman escaped the sack in September – unlike former England boss Sam Allardyce – when he was caught up in the Telegraph’s football-bung scandal, with co-chairman Tony Fernandes and the rest of the board backing the former Burton boss who admitted to being “naïve” for thinking he could land £55,000 for an after-dinner speech. That, however, was before the defeats to the Bees and Sheffield Wednesday and the mood around the club has taken a dip since. please log in to view this image Tim Sherwood endured a miserable time at Villa but could be back soon Sherwood would offer a massive morale boost, if his brief no-nonsense spell in charge at Tottenham is anything to go by – but the ex-Villa coach might be put off by the peanuts Rangers are currently committed to shelling out on players. Rangers are going through a massive transition from their money-haemorrhaging days of splurging Premier League wages on dud signings like Sandro, Ji Sung Park and Jose Bosingwa. With the new focus on landing tomorrow’s top-flight stars with League One money.

The decision to axe Hasselbaink will not be as costly as most of QPR's previous mistakes as he is only on a rolling month-to-month contract.
I'm surprised he's not been mentioned yet already. I don't really like him but would be a bit of an antidote of the glum dour faced gaffer's we've had on the sidelines in recent years.

We don't know the notice period within that 12 month roolling contract. It might be 3 months for example.
