Chris Ramsey is set to be appointed QPR manager until the end of the season, Goal understands.

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood - who worked with Ramsey and QPR director of football Les Ferdinand at White Hart Lane last
season - was initially the favourite to succeed Harry Redknapp at Loftus Road.

On Tuesday Goal reported that the 46-year-old had agreed a deal to become the club's new manager , but talks between Sherwood and
QPR chairman Tony Fernandes subsequently broke down.

The Malaysian entrepreneur then caused mass intrigue by tweeting: Think I have got my dream manager. Not what anyone thinks. Take a while. Still a bit to go but I'm very happy. Press all wrong.

Michael Laudrup was immediately installed as the new front-runner for the post but quickly ruled himself out as a candidate, insisting he
has no intention of leaving Qatari club Lekhwiya in the near future.

Fernandes now believes Ramsey is the right man to guide QPR to Premier League safety after he oversaw the club's first away victory of the season against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday.

That result moved QPR out of the relegation zone on goal difference and they now lie 17th, having garnered 22 points from 25 games.
