You might think a man who has won just three of his 14 games in charge wouldn’t be a popular choice as a club’s new boss – but QPR fans are giving their backing to Chris Ramsey, who was today appointed as head coach on a permanent basis.
Chris Ramsey gets the head coach job full time at QPR, who appear to have got a decision right for once.

The 53-year-old took temporary charge of Rangers in February in the wake of Harry Redknapp’s resignation, but he could not prevent their relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
If you were expecting opprobrium, woe and disillusionment from Rs fans though – think again.
Most are pleased to see Ramsey – who is head coach, rather than manager, to Les Ferdinand’s director of football – get the chance to rebuild in the Championship.
I like Ramsey, he seems to be a decent man. No excuses which is refreshing after the last chap. Happy to work under Les. Good luck!!! #QPR

Personally very happy that @tonyfernandes is backing Chris Ramsey for a proper run. Key word – Coach. Time we grew a side and a club again.

Looking forward to seeing the kind of players Les and Ramsey bring in

Plenty of fans were clearly none-too-thrilled at the appointment, but decided to take a pragmatic view.
Not personally happy with the appointment of Ramsey but now he's got the job I'm prepared to give him a chance….
