Hart and Harford offered QPR managership
Dec 16 2009 By Paul Warburton / London Informer
PAUL Hart and Mick Harford will be offered the QPR managership until the end of the season only.
But if the pair works out, a three-year deal will be carrot-like dangled in front of Rangers 10th management set-up in just over three years.
Last night, club lawyers were thrashing out the exact details of Jim Magilton’s sacking, with the legal eagles making sure they had player statements ready to back up allegations the outgoing boss had in indeed assaulted Akos Buzsaky.
The bust-up that ended with the Hungarian winger wandering in front of the stand at Watford 12 days ago after the 3-1 defeat will allow Hoops to dismiss the 40-year-old Northern Irishman for gross misconduct, and send him on his way without a penny.
Hart’s return to a dug-out comes less than a month after he was sacked by Portsmouth, although Harford had a five-game spell in charge at Loftus Road in between the departure of John Gregory and the arrival of Luigi Di Canio two years ago.
The former Luton manager left the Hatters in October, but as popular as Harford was last time – both new bosses are set to arrive after Alan Curbishley and Steve Coppell turned down QPR overtures.
Curbishley is still awaiting the final payment as part of a settlement from West Ham, and Coppell has decided to take a break from football for the rest of the season.
QPR are quietly hoping a club will make a decent offer for Buzsaky in the January transfer window as well.
There are some at the club, who felt the player should have kept the changing room row in-house – and his removal from the squad on Monday for the 2-2 draw at West Brom came before he pulled up with slight medial ligament damage.
Kaspars Gorkss scored his second goal for Rangers when he nodded the second against WBA – but admits he still doesn’t see himself as a shoo-in for the team against Sheffield United on Saturday - whoever picks it.
Caretakers Steve Gallen and Marc Bircham paired him with Damon Stewart for the eighth different back four in a row at The Hawthorns. And despite his hand in both goals, the Latvian only underlined the uncertainty around W12 this week.
He said: "We have a bunch of decent players here so we should be able to play well regardless of who plays."
