Breaking News. Chris Ramsey Handed Three Year Contract As QPR Head Coach.

[Awin]

Surely not right!!!

Should have said in the premier league..

[Garyd73]

Not sure either way if I am pleased about the appointment but lets give him a go and see what happens and will have my full support.

You cannot give a manager a 1 year contract, the players all know he will be leaving shortly so will take liberties. If they know the manager is staying 3 years at least they know if they kick off or ease off it will be them leaving and not the manager.

Impossible situation for Fernandes, which ever route he went down people would criticise him, I tend to judge decisions on if they are made in the best interest of the club then great even if they don't come to fruition as we all want. He's no Richard Thompson and for that I'm grateful.

My main concern or next season is we are going to do any business apparently until the results of FFP are known, could end up being the same shambles we had at the beginning of this season.

[SteveQPR1975]

Not renewing had the wool pulled over our eyes far to much cr has no experaince as a manager and is inept
tony good luck with your dream manager chris the clown but after putting swp on for a standing applause v city enough is enough

[dogsrrs]

Just saw on sky that he has the highest win rate of any manager we have had since 2010... That with Harry's crappily assembled squad..

To those that can't bear this appointment I suggest now you have told us how awful you think he is you don't need to repeat it ad infinitum..

Last 4 managers stats , on the org , not mine
1warnock in Premier 0.85% or by a mile if Championship is taken into account
2Redknapp in the Premier 0.82%
3Ramsey 0.62% before Saturday
4Hughs 0.8%

[Ginger Ninja]

Those who reckon we are already relegated to league 1, be a doll and look into you crystal ball for next weeks lotto numbers please? Cheers.

[winalotto]

I think with Qpr contesting FFP , and with most of the high earners either out of contract or with a relegation clause written in this time, an embargo wouldn't be put on us in the summer, possibly in January but that depends on the outcome of the case

[CroydonCaptainJack]

To me it's simply amazing... The same people crying out for big names signings are now crying out for big name managers.

Many have already judged Les and CR on a relegation bound season, god help us for any hopes of a considered rebuild if these people are expecting instant results.

NO manager can guarantee success but many can guarantee huge expense, we have form.

If you really can't bear the thought of Les and CR may I suggest that just for a few months you keep a lowish profile until as you expect we don't succeed, I suspect you may be disappointed.

Les was with us when we still had our identity and was a perfect example of what many of us on here are hoping for - good scouting, developed whilst at the club and going on to play for England and worth much more than we paid for him.

We would develop players, sell them & then replace.. Ie sinton ---> Sinclair

Charlie is another good example of the way of QPR of old.. Bought from a championship club and now worth much more than we bought him for - sadly that example is far too rare these days.

Just give the guy a bloody chance at least until the end of next season.

Preachy rant over...

Good post mate. These posters cannot see the irony in wanting another big name manager in.

Ramsay 21%
Warnock 20%
Redknapp 18.75%

Well look up hughes's but his will be the worst

[CroydonCaptainJack]

Matty are you being diplomatic when you say it sets out our STOOL for the way we are hoping to conduct our business in future or are you saying we will carry on doing shlt business

Yes, I assume matty meant stall but best Freudian slip on here for a while eh!

[CroydonCaptainJack]

Glad to see the sentiment is generally quite positive and most will get behind him.

[QPRActon]

Big Sam,, no thanks !!

I was very afraid of this appointment and players liking him is simply not good enough, first time in years I will not be re-newing my S/T feeling gutted by this appointment especially when the likes of big Sam and war burton are available 😩

..


Mate ,talk to West Hams fans, they've had enough of "Big Sam ",we don't want hoof football at QPR,,, he's not good enough for the hammers why is he good enough for us,,,
Same old managers moving from one club to the next,,,,Give Ramsay a good go, he's gonna loose a few but long term if he doe a Bournemouth, will be worth it, I cant wait... !!!

[Awin]

Sky have premier league records as follows (tried to attach an image but assume it was too large)

Ramsey 21%
Warnock 20%
Hughes 20%
Redknapp 19%

[dogsrrs]

Of cause Ramsey has to be given a chance now the decision has been made , but don't take away fans right voice their opinions if they feel they haven't seen anything to warrant a 3 year deal For me a 1year rolling contact to start with and let him earn the financial security of a 3 year deal would have far more acceptable
Personally I am not convinced by him or the DOF but certainly hope to be proved wrong

[Hitman34]

Basically this appointment is purely so Les can handle Ramsey as he wants like a puppet on a string.

Doesnt matter who the coach or manager is now.. Les is running the club.

bingo.

les and tony will sign all the players they want and chris ramsey will just coach them.

[MattyRangers]

Yes, I assume matty meant stall but best Freudian slip on here for a while eh!

Oops

Glad to see the sentiment is generally quite positive and most will get behind him.

Just because I think he is a decent appointment as gaffer, doesn't mean I will be looking to bend one in him!
