Chris Ramsey wants the QPR job on a long-term basis as his side look poised for a return to the Championship. Their fate will be sealed if they lose at Manchester City at the weekend.
"We have had discussions before, but nothing has been put in concrete at the moment," Ramsey said.
"There is still the rest of the season to be getting on with.
"I am hoping I am going be here, but we have not put pen to paper and put anything in stone yet.
"A decision is going to be made at the end of the season, but I am hoping it will be me at the helm. We have not put pen to paper yet."
He said the club are in a "rebuilding phase" whatever division they find themselves in, highlighting the need to build a foundation for the future.
"I think it will be difficult because you do have a lot of obstacles that were probably not there before," Ramsey said.
"If the season was to end up negatively, I think it would be important that everybody around realises that in order for the club to have long-term stability that there is going to be a rebuilding period.
"People will have to be realistic about how long that is going to take. "Having said that, everybody would want to bounce straight back into the Premier League and I am sure that's what we're going to try and do.
"But we have to be realistic about what we want for the club on a long-term basis."
