One game wonder for Coventry City - Mick Harford is the latest manager of Queens Park Rangers.

Harford has been placed in charged after Paul Hart quit with immediate effect.

Speaking to the QPR Official website, Harford said: I got a phone call late last night asking me to take charge.

"It's something I have had to prepare quickly for because the main focus right now is getting the players ready for Saturday's game against Blackpool.

"It's a sad occasion with the Manager leaving his post but that happens in football. I have been given what I consider an opportunity to stake my claim for the job.

"I thought Paul did a great job in terms of organising the players and getting his team set out.

"He was great to work for and I really enjoyed my time with him. I am sad to see him go, but as a Football Club we have to move on.

"The Board have asked me to take charge of the team and I am very prepared to do that.

"I spoke with Paul last night as well as this morning. He enjoyed his brief time here and had a good rapport with the players and the staff.

"It is one of those unfortunate situations we find ourselves in."
