Mirror - HARFORD'S GUID-ED TO THE DOOR - By Dave Lewis 22/10/2007
The silhouette of Italian Francisco Guidolin loomed large at Loftus Road as Mick Harford sought to win over judges whose minds are already made up.
The former Palermo boss is likely to be officially unveiled in time for Saturday's London derby at Charlton - leaving the auditioning Harford to exit the stage like an X Factor hopeful who has not struck the right note.
His three games in charge, following the sacking of John Gregory last month, have brought a defeat, a win and now a draw.
And if the endeavour and commitment on offer against Ipswich is anything to go by he has the dressing room, if not the boardroom, behind him.
Danish striker Marc Nygaard, scorer of the deserved 74th-minute equaliser for the team manacled to the foot of the Championship, said: "Mick's a good guy who has the respect of everybody here.
"He treats everyone the same. He was a good player in his day and he has a fine football brain. "I think he has a bright future as a manager."
Though Harford will still be in charge for tomorrow's trip to Preston, his reign appears destined to end after just four games.
Guidolin, a close friend of QPR's co-owner Flavio Briatore, spent several days secretly mapping out his blueprint for the future at Rangers' Harlington training base last week.
Harford is phlegmatic about his fate, saying: "There's not a lot I can do.
I'm enjoying the position and would like a stab at it but the powers that be will do what they believe is right for the club."
There was no shortage of zest as Rangers recovered from falling adrift to a 33rd-minute long-range rocket from Frenchman Sylvain Legwinski to grab a point in a match which came alive in the final 20 minutes. Mirror

Telegraph - Unfashionable QPR in need of Italian flair By Tom Cary
With QPR's new owners, Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone, making the taxing decision to spend the weekend at Brazil's Interlagos racetrack rather than Loftus Road, there was a depressingly familiar feel to Saturday's match.
Whereas two weeks ago fans were treated to the glamorous spectacle of Naomi Campbell rubbing shoulders with Briatore in the directors' box, they were handed a bizarre reality check this time around when the PA announcer reported that a wheelchair had been stolen from a disabled fan after the Norwich match. Unbelievable.
They will be hoping for an altogether different 'Italian Job' with former Palermo manager Francesco Guidolin expected to be handed the reins this week. Guidolin, 52, will be tasked with trying to instil some creative flair and defensive rigidity into a side palpably lacking in both.
After a pedestrian first half, Ipswich stepped up the pace and deservedly took the lead when Sylvain Legwinski sent an arcing volley over Lee Camp from 25 yards.
Rangers claimed parity when substitute Marc Nygaard latched on to a deflected pass to fire home after 73 minutes.
The 6ft 7in Dane, who spent two years at Brescia, was cautious when quizzed on Guidolin. "I don't really recall how Palermo played," he smiled. "Besides, Mick [Harford] is doing a good job. This point could be important come the end of the season." . Telegraph
