Luigi De Canio Sacked
In what can be only described as a major shock, recently appoint QPR manager Luigi De Canio has parted ways with QPR just weeks after being appointed. Luigi, who has had his stints with Napoli, Siena and Udinese in the past didn't comment to the press at all and is said to be on his way back to Italy at this very minute. Flavio Briatore was the man to come out and speak with the media. He said, "It's a shame about Luigi and what has happened here. We are pushing for big things here and Luigi was the man to provide that. It was the best for all people, Luigi didn't get the lifestyle and struggled to adapt which led to his departure. We have drawn up a little shortlist of replacements and can confirm it will be a British citizen"

Discussions ongoing about a replacement

Odds on the next QPR manager
Peter Reid 7/4
Steve Staunton 3/1
David O'Leary 4/1
Steve McMahon 6/1
Dennis Wise 20/1
Sam Allardyce 25/1

A Ladbrokes spokesman said, "Peter Reid seems to of emerged as a clear favourite for the job. He's been out of football for a little while and with everything in place at QPR it could be the perfect time to make a return".
