Wilkins,50, is a SKY TV pundit- and coached the England Under-21s to one of their best seasons.But he was sacked when manager Peter Taylor gave way to Stuart Pearce earlier this year.He could now be in line for a 'dream team' return to the big time with pal Gianlucci Vialli.They worked together at Chelsea and Watford and have long planned another partnership if the right offer came along.

First time round as QPR manager was not easy.There was no money.But my achievements with the England kids are proof positive of my ability to coach at a high level". Sunday Star
