Former Leeds United midfielder Lee Bowyer is among the bookmakers' favourites to become the next Queens Park Rangers manager.
Michael Beale left his post at Loftus Road after just five months at the helm and joined Scottish heavyweights Rangers last week.
Ex-Blackpool boss Neil Critchley is odds-on to succeed Beale in the English capital at 4/6. However, Bowyer has been installed as joint-second favourite along with Chris Wilder and Brian Barry Murphy at 10/1.
The 45-year-old most recently spent 16 months at Birmingham City but was relieved of his duties in July. Prior to his stint at St Andrew's, Bowyer spent three years in the dugout at Charlton Athletic, and guided the Addicks to promotion via the League One play-offs in 2019.

Bowyer joined Leeds from Charlton Athletic in 1996 and spent seven years at Elland Road. He accumulated 265 appearances for the Whites across all competitions and helped guide them to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and Champions League in 2000 and 2001 respectively.
He also earned his solitary England cap during his spell at Leeds in 2002. After leaving Elland Road in 2003, Bowyer had spells with West Ham, Newcastle, Ipswich and Birmingham, and won the League Cup with the latter in 2011.
Next QPR manager odds:
Neil Critchley 4/6
Lee Bowyer 10/1
Chris Wilder 10/1
Brian Barry Murphy 10/1
Steve Morison 12/1
Anthony Barry 12/1
Odds correct at time of writing
