Deputy Director John Eustace was put in charge by the time the Rangers begin their search, as well as the man in distress for the Saturday afternoon televised match at Carrow Road (12:30).

Sherwood, who played 88 games with Norwich between 1989 and 1992, is the friend of Tottenham's former teammate, Ferdinand, director of QPR Football.

He had brief stays and mostly unsuccessful as a manager at Spurs and Aston Villa, before moving to a position of football director at Swindon Town in 2015-16, which resulted in a relegation to League Two.

Aged 50, he has since worked as a television expert, but Sky Bet has installed him as favorite 1/3 for the vacant Rs.

Mark Warburton, former boss of the Brentford and Glasgow Rangers, will be next at 5/1, ahead of former QPR midfielder Gareth Ainsworth at 8/1, who has been leading Wycombe Wanderers since 2012.
