Queens Park Rangers have placed both Mark Robins and Neil Critchley on their managerial shortlist at Loftus Road, according to talkSPORT.
The Lowdown: Beale gone
The Hoops are searchING for Michael Beale’s long-term successor after he left for Glasgow Rangers earlier this week.
The 42-year-old turned down interest from Wolves towards the end of October but left the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium for Ibrox, where he was previously Steven Gerrard’s assistant.
That leaves QPR looking for a new manager ahead of their return to action next weekend against league leaders Burnley.
The Latest: Robins and Critchley on QPR shortlist
talkSPORT provided an update regarding QPR’s managerial search on Thursday morning.
Their tweet mentioned that 'talkSPORT sources understand' that both Coventry City manager Robins and former Blackpool boss Critchley ‘are on QPR's managerial shortlist’.
The Verdict: Interesting…
It looks as if the R's may well be going down the route of bringing in a fairly experienced manager following this update on Robins and Critchley.
They have previously been name-checked with an interest in Anthony Barry and Brian Barry-Murphy, coaches at Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.
The pair don’t have any Championship experience, however, whereas Robins and Critchley both know the division well, so one of the shortlisted duo could well become the club’s new manager.
