QPR fans on Twitter react to Ramsey’s new role
QPR fans on Twitter have given a mixed reaction to confirmation of Chris Ramsey’s new role at the club.
Ramsey, who was sacked as head coach in November, has been handed the position of technical director, overseeing coaching and development within Rangers’ academy.
Some supporters are less than keen on the appointment, and were cynical about Ramsey’s relationship with director of football Les Ferdinand and chairman Tony Fernandes.
‘Chris Ramsey Technical Director’ Anagram is.. ‘Made up job by Les to get best mate Chris back in’ Ok I added and changed a few letters #QPR

Don’t mind Chris Ramsey being back at the club but his title should be more like… “Youth development team coach’s orange cutter” #QPR

Ramsey being back at #QPR feels a bit awkward to me. It’s a little ‘You weren’t good enough for this, but why not try this Chris?’

However, a number of fans were pleased to see Ramsey, who was praised for his work with the academy prior to his elevation to the first team, back working with the youngsters.
Great to see Ramsey back at #QPR perhaps in a more appropriate role. Les making good calls, reconnecting a great London club back to London

I’m pleased Chris Ramsey is back at QPR. I think he has a lot to offer especially for the younger players.

“Hi, Chris. Sorry, but whilst we had you trying out with the big boys, we let someone else sit in your chair. Here’s a new one we’ve bought for you. It’s brand new, no one else has one, and no one else has heard of it.”
“No, don’t touch those biscuits, those are Director of Football biscuits. There’s an open packet of custard creams in your office. It’s over there, labelled ‘Meeting Room B'”.
