Veteran defender Clint Hill is set to be the first victim of Neil Warnock's clear out at QPR, following the West Londoners' promotion to the Premier League. Hill has performed admirably in the last two seasons and has worked with Warnock extensively through his career, but has been told that he is surplus to requirements and can leave on a free transfer. A close pal of Hill told us: "Clint is devastated. He knows he's approaching the end of his career but to be told days after winning the title that he can go, well, it's like a bullet to the head".
Former club Crystal Palace, Barnsley and Watford are all already showing a keen interest in signing the Scouser - though the player himself has not ruled out an intriguing emotional return to his first club, Tranmere Rovers, in a player/coach role. Meanwhile QPR are targeting a number of left-backs to replace him, including Wolves' Stephen Ward (as revealed to you by The Insider last week), Paul Konchesky of Liverpool, and David Murphy of Birmingham.
