QPR chiefs will this week decide whether to replace Mark Hughes with Harry Redknapp.

The R’s are anchored to the bottom of the Premier League with few signs they will pull away from trouble.
And influential figures at the club know they have to act swiftly before the situation becomes impossible to turn around.
Former Spurs boss Redknapp could take over straight away without any compensation to pay.
Enormous pressure has built up on Sparky, whose planning has been hit by injuries. And with no Premier League games for the next 11 days due to the international break, Rangers could make a move.
Redknapp, 65, has a proven track record of beating the drop.
Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has repeatedly backed Hughes, 48, after a mammoth summer investment in the squad, insisting he wants stability.
But he has shown a ruthless streak by axing Neil Warnock for Hughes.
