Neil Warnock is ready to walk out of crisis club Crystal Palace this week and take over as manager of QPR.
Today's FA Cup clash with Aston Villa at Selhurst Park looks likely to be Warnock's final match in charge of Palace, who suffered a 10-point penalty after going into administration last month.
Warnock has been contacted by Rangers chiefs about becoming the west London club's 11th manager in just over two years.
And despite the bizarre turnover of bosses under Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone, Warnock has told friends he is seriously interested in a move.
Mick Harford has been in caretaker charge of Rangers since Paul Hart's exit last month after a five-week reign.
Warnock, 61, has admitted to severe frustrations with Crystal Palace administrator Brendan Guilfoyle.
Should Warnock quit Palace, Steve Coppell is lined up for a FIFTH spell as manager - if former Eagles chairman Ron Noades wins his takover battle.
