Ramsey til end of season...Official....ish!

[Lunar Jetman]

Millions? Sherwood wanted a few quid bonus and TF said no. Plus Ramsey is a good man, who would rather progress his career than bank a few quid.

Sherwood wanted £2 million a year whilst we were offering £1 million. More than a few quid

Sherwood wanted a £1m bonus if he kept us up apparently. All paper talk though, so we'll never know and it's not really important.

What would be nice is if TF come out and explained the situation regarding Ramsey and any possible manager, as I think it's fair to say his last tweet caused confusion now that Ramsey has the role until the end of the season. TF wants transparency doesn't he? A simple statement saying Ramsey will be manager until the end of the season while the search continues for a full time replacement to begin next season or that Ramsey will be considered for the role also.

We as fans have asked/demanded no more players here for the pay day (bosingwa, SWP etc) and I would argue that ths too should apply to managers.

Sherwoods reported demands were ridiculous - up to 2.6 mil a year and a bonus if we stay up? Based on what? 6 months previous managerial experience. If we had got big Sam it too would be for the packet he gets at the end of the month.

The club needs restructuring and a much tighter control of money we have previously thrown about with disastrous effect.

CR is a coach with a good pedigree as a coach who wants to manage (it seems), he has the team playing with more interest and the majority of the fans behind him.

NOONE could guarantee saving us and a potential disastrous scenario of relegation and still having to pay a manager millions a year (FFP rules remember) has thankfully been avoided

One of the first prudent things TF and the board have done

Good luck CR the majority are right behind you

^^Agreed.

Sherwood has nothing on his CV to suggest he'd do any better than Ramsey will this season. No matter who we get in it's a tough task.

Let's see where we are in the summer and find the right manager.

You make a decent point there, Matty.

Personally don't have a problem with him being on twitter, but do feel that he should be using it to communicate properly.
With regards to the manager situation, he has simply caused unnecessary confusion rather than give any meaningful information.

[tommyqpr]

Really happy for Ramsey.
Seems a really good coach and will work towards getting the best out of our players rather than always buying.
If he keeps us up then he will most probably get a contract and I think that's the best decision.
Think he has shown glimpses of what he can bring - Phillips being brought back in, making the team press constantly against sunderland, played doughty.

Will be interesting to see how he fares, we just all need to get behind him

At the moment im failing to see any confusion though. Hes tweeted hes got his dream manager, and ramsey has got the job till season ends. So until then we take it as it has been said and that the 'dream manager' starts afresh next season and uncle does not need nor want to name him just yet for any amount of reasons.
Until then, and if, and a bloody big if, it doesnt happen, where is the confusion?

Summary.
With 15 games to go chairman says 'ive got my dream manager'. Said chairman then asks the caretaker to take over for the remaining games.
Where is the confusion? Being honest and non argumentative either,

He said he "thinks" he has found him, if I recall correctly.

But anyway, announcing something like that is bound to get people wondering. Not going to be overly critical, just think it was a tad unwise.

1) We still await an official announcement from the club confirming CR's appointment.

2) Once it is officially confirmed that he's got the gig til the end of the season, IMO it should be with the added incentive that if he keeps us up then he should be rewarded with a permanent contract.

3) All talk of a new manager/coach arriving in the summer should be suspended until our PL fate this season is known, to allow the players/staff the best possible chance of staying focused on the huge task in hand.

IMO
YMMV
ETC...

If he got his dream manager before the Sunderland game and it's not possible for him to start until next season, why wasn't Ramsey told he'll be in charge until the summer before the game? Why didn't TF state the appointment won't be until next season rather than "Take a while". It's now 48 hours later and still no comment from the club. It's as clear as mud and everyone is guessing due to our 'transparent' chairman's latest comments.

No wonder were nicknamed Drama QPR by Hull when you read this thread

Why should the club announce something before there ready just because the press think they know whats going on. Should they have announced Sherwood because the press said he was getting the job

Joey has already announced Ramsey is the gaffer.
