QPR are expecting Michael Beale to leave and join Scottish Premiership giants Rangers as their new manager.
Hoops boss Beale, a former assistant to Steven Gerrard at Ibrox, has emerged as a Rangers target to replace the sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst
So the lure of managing a Premier League club just 8 weeks ago wasn't enough but managing a team in a two horse race is?
The 42-year-old continued: "One thing's for sure is Wolves are a fantastic football club, they're a historic football club.
"It was a real privilege to be asked to go to speak to them but i didn't think it was the right moment because I entered into an agreement here.
"Integrity is a real big thing for me, and loyalty. You don't give it to receive it back but I think if they're the values you live by then at times when you're put in a position then you have to be strong by them."
I suspect that this has more to do with QPR picking up just one point from their last five matches (and dropping from top to out of the play offs) that has meant the change in direction.

Bit of a risky appointment that, I'd be amazed if over the course of season Toure does a better job than Richardson would have done, with what is a very average squad for the Championship.
Michael O'Neill has agreed to return for a second spell as Northern Ireland manager after successfully concluding talks with the Irish FA.
The 53-year-old will take charge for the forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, succeeding Ian Baraclough who was sacked from the post on 21 October.
Certainly they've not managed to replace many of the players they lost in the summer, and it seems that they didn't want Manning involved in the January recruitment
Gerrard and Beale leave Rangers for Villa Beale leaves Villa for the No 1 job at QPR Critchley leaves Blackpool for the No 2 job at Villa Gerrard and Critchley are sacked by Villa Beale leaves QPR for Rangers QPR appoint Critchley to replace Beale
Now we’re talking. I would like it if we had Dean Smith at Charlton because he has a reasonable track record. Probably unreasonably I would cut Smith more slack than Holden.
