QPR SET TO GO FOR JOE By Aidan Magee 19/02/2007
JOE KINNEAR is favourite to take over at QPR this week if they decide to sack John Gregory.
The former Wimbledon boss has been out of the game since leaving Nottingham Forest at the foot of the Championship two years ago.
Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini will decide at a board meeting on Wednesday whether to stick with Gregory.
The talks take place the day after Rangers' crucial clash at Leeds - where defeat would almost certainly spell the end for the former Aston Villa boss.
Paladini tried to tempt Iain Dowie into a return to Loftus Road but was given short shrift by the ex-Charlton and Crystal Palace manager.
Kinnear, 60, suffered a heart attack while managing Wimbledon in March 1999 but has since managed Luton and Forest.

The Sun - JOE KINNEAR is poised to take over as manager of struggling Queens Park Rangers tomorrow.
The ex-Wimbledon and Leicester boss has been earmarked to replace John Gregory whose Rangers side are languishing in 20th in the Championship.
Kinnear’s imminent appointment is seen by the Loftus Road board as the only way Rangers can dig themselves out of trouble and inject some much needed fight and confidence into the squad.
Gregory was given the job of revitalising QPR but after some initial success the team have hit rock bottom — thrashed 5-0 by second-from-bottom Southend 10 days ago.
