QPR manager Iain Dowie was facing the sack last night after falling out with the club's co-owner Flavio Briatore.

Dowie, who arrived at Loftus Road three months ago, clashed with the Italian about the proposed transfer of an unknown striker from the Middle East, according to The Times.

Renault Formula One team principal Briatore is believed to have told Dowie that he would be dismissed, but stopped short of formalising the decision.

It was unclear whether Dowie would report for work on Wednesday morning and some of the club’s hierarchy have been given the task of finding a successor, should the differences not be resolved.

Briatore and Dowie have had disagreements about transfers this summer.

The club spent £250,000 to sign Blackpool's Kaspars Gorkss, while three players arrived on free transfers and two on loan.

Dowie dismissed the reported row as 'rumours' last night.
