Queens Park Rangers sacked Steve McClaren on Monday.

Tim Sherwood the head coach

Some Queens Park Rangers fans are vowing they will boycott matches if the R’s appoint Tim Sherwood as manager.

According to Sky Sports, Sherwood is on the shortlist of candidates to succeed Steve McClaren at Loftus Road.

McClaren was sacked on Monday morning after a run of one win in 15 Championship matches.

But while news of the former England boss’s exit was music to the ears of many of a QPR persuasion, the prospect of Sherwood being hired has quickly brought them back to Earth.

Sherwood – a close friend of the R’s director of football, Les Ferdinand – was last employed in the same role by Swindon Town and has only ever managed at two clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. However, each of those reigns ended within a year.

And this is what’s being said about him by the QPR faithful on Twitter…

McClaren’s exit drew an interesting reaction from his QPR predecessor, Ian Holloway, who told Talksport the 58-year-old spoke to the R’s while he was still in charge.
