I'm all for managers, along with prime ministers, vicars and policemen being older than me. Centre backs, less so.
If that still counts as "young" it's a bonus. | | | |

Could have had a look at Hasselbaink. Young manager with a promotion on his CV at the second attempt. Coached at Chelsea & Forest for 5 years before he moved into management and his first job in management was at newly relegated Antwerp with a remit to win promotion within 3 years with a young squad playing attacking football, which he was well on the way to doing when he decided to leave.
But then, we don't do interviews.. [Post edited 20 May 2015 10:07]

This.
Why am I a QPR fan? In no particular order:
We're not Chelsea. I know that's parochial, but don't underestimate it - you can find ABCs all over the country, along with ABUs. Not being a bunch of glory-hunting gets who buy every trophy they win is a good thing, and TF has gone badly wrong in trying to buy success.
I'm from west London, even if that's not where I live. Trying to make us a global brand or get into Far Eastern markets means nothing to me, in fact on balance I'd rather we didn't if we can still balance the books.
We have the coolest strip in the league, or at least do when it's not screwed up by kit designers.
Since we have no money, our best source of players is the youth team, giving us players that we've seen develop from the start, players who have a real bond with the club because it gave them their first chance. Our second source of players are good old pros who have knocked around a bit but still have something to offer and are cheap. Our third source are mavericks no-one else will touch. These limitations will stop us ever winning the premiership but if used correctly produce a team that is far more fun to watch and follow than the title contenders ever will be.
I love the atmosphere at Loftus Road, no other ground is like it.
Frankly, under Fernandes we've been none of those things; not one. Some of them, especially the youth team, have been on the slide for years before that.
I'm not going to get all happy-clappy about Chris Ramsey but there is a chance, just a small one, that accidentally TF may have appointed someone who actually plays to the strengths of what I love about QPR. | | | |

Nah.. If you squint a little bit he looks just like a Jehova Witness trying to flog a WatchTower.Or even that fella on Rising Damp. He'd get 'laughed' out of town.

Huge ego | |
| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |

to interview him though you need to make an official approach as he is in a job, if he attends the interview it makes it clear he wants to move on thus hurting his current job which he may need if he is unsuccessful. Also if you do this it completely undermines the current bloke in charge and shows you don't really want him.
The job has been available since February, any manager who wants it should have been telling their agents to beat down the door at QPR and push themselves forward for it but they haven't as we're as attractive as Kate Hopkins eating a hot dog out of Jimmy Savilles arsehole.
Three men were considered and interviewed for the job. Tim Sherwood who got a better offer and Rangers were put off by fans screaming at Fernandes not to appoint him. Paul Clement who said he'd come if we stayed up so that's him out and Ramsey who wants the job so gets it. [Post edited 20 May 2015 10:28]

Wigan stuck with manager who got them to play offs, then changed to another manager, then a 3rd - all to no avail.
No comparison to us whatsoever! | | | |

Its so simple its a wonder all clubs don't do it!  | | | |

10/1 to go down if you're interested.
No one will be, lots of talk and no action when its comes to betting on here. | | | |

Contained in your post sums up what's wrong with football today.
2 bad games and he's out?
Look at it like that we could have 20 managers next season!
Surely we are all agreed that last few years have been a disaster and that in part is due to constant change - somewhere we have to stop and give someone a proper chance and that means more than 14 games with someone else's squad! | | | |

It makes me laugh that people like Gareth Ainsworth and Shaun Derry wouldn't even have been considered due to a 'lack of experience' - but then we appoint Ramsey who has even less!
Obviously you need more than just having played for the club going for you - but given the tough long term job ahead, people with strong affection for the club would be a good investment. | | | |
| Its Chris on 12:30 - May 20 with 2172 views | simmo |
There's no reason why someone like Derry can;t be considered in some capacity. It will be interesting to see who Ramseys number 2 will be, I assume Bondy Bond will drive off towards the sunset (and hopefully not stop), so that leaves a spot that could turn out to be massively important. | |

"Karl Henry Left wing, someone said it worked against Chelsea, it didn't because we lost": It's all water under the bridge now but I was using our *tactics* against Chelsea as an example of Ramsey not being tactically naive. He got the tactics right, it was the execution that was the issue: Green made a hash of a kick and the team failed to concentrate properly, a point you actually made yourself: "we lack concentration".
Anyway, the die is cast now. I don't feel there were many obvious options out there. Our model is not appropriate for Warburton, if Big Sam did come, many would hate him from day one due to his reputation for playing long ball football, Clement would probably not come to a second tier side overshadowed by massive uncertainty and McLaren seems to want to stay at Derby.
We must not forget that motivation and enthusiasm count for a lot. We haven't had a manager with those two attributes since Warnock. Would a great manager who wasn't excited about the job do it as well as a fully committed, enthusiastic Chris Ramsey or similar young coach?
Fully motivated and driven people who lack some skills often push themselves in an attempt to improve. I am looking forward to our team being managed by someone who is fired up and passionate about his job, someone who is proud be in the role rather than someone who thinks the club and role are beneath him and who subsequently doesn't care enough to put their back into the job.
Only time will tell though.

You can give SWP a clean slate, but frankly anyone who is happy to sit around on their arse rather than play football, even if it means going out on loan, is more interested in the money than they are in playing.
That, for me, constitutes a sh1tty attitude and an increasing lack of match play experience... therefore he doesn't deserve to get picked. | |

But him not wanting to go out on loan long preceded Ramsey and thus has no relevance to him picking him.
Ramsey gave everybody a clean slate and promised all who worked hard in training would get a chance. SWP worked hard so got a chance. Vargas & Taarabt didn't so we're left in the cold. Vargas knuckled down and forced his way back into the team again.
Whether or not he is the right man from an ability point of view, from an ethos & disciplinary point of view he is perfect for the club at present.
I'm very confident that next season we will be a very disciplined, hard working team and should be comfortably mid table with a platform to try again on a better position. | | | |

No interviews.
I might be over thinking this, but isn't it pretty standard NOT to interview people if you plan on appointing the caretaker manager on a permanent basis?
Can't think of many situations where clubs have interviewed loads of people for the job, then decided on the caretaker after all. Not defending this approach just saying maybe it's not that uncommon? | | | |
