QPR director of football Les Ferdinand has dismissed speculation that boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink might be replaced by Tony Pulis whose future at West Brom is under threat.

Pulis was seen sitting next to Ferdinand during Championship QPR's 6-0 home defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.

However, Ferdinand has warned against reading anything into that, and insists Rangers are not looking to replace Hasselbaink.

Ferdinand said: "Tony Pulis came to the game the other night, which is a normal thing for a manager to do when his team aren't playing. I saw him and sat next to him. That's it.

"The result on Tuesday was obviously unacceptable but I can categorically say we are not looking to change manager and are not considering anyone else."
