Former Blues assistant manager John Gorman has confirmed that he will be joining ex-Town boss Jim Magilton at QPR. It had been widely expected that Gorman would be assisting the Northern Irishman at Loftus Road.

Gorman says he has not yet put pen to paper on a deal, but expects to next week: "I have not signed a contract yet, but have a meeting at the club on Monday. Jim Magilton deserves to be back in management, and I am delighted to be continuing my association with him.”

The former England coach was sacked from his job at Town along with Magilton in April.
