QPR could turn to Tim Sherwood if boss Mark Warburton fails to transform a horror run that has left his side in danger of relegation, according to reports.
Rangers are without a win in nine matches, losing five of them to fall to within two points of the Championship's bottom three.
Director of football Les Ferdinand is a friend of Sherwood's from their time at Tottenham together, and the former Spurs and Aston Villa boss is also said to be friends with QPR technical director Chris Ramsey.
Ferdinand will ask Sherwood to revive the club's fortunes if their troubles continue and they can afford his £1million-a-year asking price, The Sun has reported.
