“If there was a new manager in Monday morning, no issue. Let’s crack on. The conversation I had, unless anything’s changed, I haven’t spoke to the chairman since, but it does look like I’ll be in charge for Thursday against Norwich. But again that could change, I don’t know.”
Cifuentes on QPR win
QPR boss Marti Cifuentes believes his side enjoyed their best performance of the season against Preston. He told West London Sport: “For me it was our best performance of the season.

“The response, which was such a good performance, says a lot about the mentality of the group. I saw a lot of players performing at a high level, everybody contributed, and that’s important. And we need more of that. The Christmas schedule is crazy and we need to be ready.”
