QPR have reportedly lined up Sam Allardyce as their next manager.

The Daily Mirror is of the belief that the R's have the current West Ham United boss in their sights if he does not re-sign with the east Londoners.

Allardyce is out of contract in the summer and will not negotiate with the Hammers until season's end which is when QPR will know more regarding a potential pursuit.

Sunderland were linked with Allardyce when Gus Poyet was sacked last month and now west London's R's are hoping they can swoop for the ex-Bolton, Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers manager if he opts against a West Ham stay.
