QPR next manager odds as clear favourite emerges to replace Neil Critchley

Gareth Ainsworth is the odds-on favourite to take over as Queens Park Rangers manager after the sacking of Neil Critchley. Ainsworth, who has been in charge for 11 years at Wycombe, has been contacted by the Championship club.

QPR called time on Critchley’s stint as manager after Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough. The 44-year-old was appointed in December and had just 12 games in charge at Loftus Road.

Critchley was handed a three-and-a-half-year deal by the R’s after Michael Beale left for Scottish giants Rangers but the club are winless in 10 and sit 17th in the league table. Critchley's assistants Mike Garrity and Iain Brunskill have also departed the side.
