Bookies name favourite for QPR vacancy

Tim Sherwood has been installed as Sky Bet's early odds-on favourite to become QPR's new manager following Harry Redknapp's resignation. First-team coach Glenn Hoddle (4/1) and Les Ferdinand (10/1) - the latter put in temporary charge of the team along with Chris Ramsey - were next in the early betting.

Sky Bet trader Chris Spicer said: "Sherwood seems to be the first name everybody considers for vacancies right now and the punters have reacted quickly by backing him to replace Redknapp.

"However, Ferdinand and Hoddle both look ready-made fits to step up from the backroom staff, albeit with contrasting levels of experience, and are sure to attract interest."
