QPR put Villa loan move on hold

QPR have put a proposed loan move for Aston Villa’s Isaiah Osbourne on ice until they have appointed a new boss.
Villa midfielder Osbourne, 22, hasn’t featured for Martin O’Neill’s side this term and was sent on loan to Middlesbrough last year.
QPR caretaker Mick Harford intended to snap Osborne up last week but Rangers are set to axe him.
Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock is waiting in the wings to take charge and the Rangers board don’t want Harford spending any more cash.
He has already brought in strikers Marcus Bent and Tamas Priskin from Birmingham and Ipswich respectively but the pair are yet to score and both injured.
They may now be sent back as Warnock has his own wish-list including Palace trio Darren Ambrose, Neil Danns and Nathaniel Clyne.
