Ramsey left waiting on QPR job

Posted Sunday, May 17, 2015 by Foxsports.com

Chris Ramsey has admitted he is still waiting to discover whether he will be in charge of QPR next season.

Ramsey believes he has "a good chance" of securing the long-term job at QPR despite relegation, but conceded "I'm still looking for that postman every morning."

Ramsey's short-term contract will expire at the end of the season, with the 53-year-old urging QPR to move quickly on plans for next year's Championship campaign.

"I think I've got a good chance of getting the job, but things change," said Ramsey.

"I can't be sure of course until the contract's signed, until everything's finalised."

Ramsey led QPR to a 2-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday in their last Premier League clash at Loftus Road before dropping back down to the Championship.

Rangers will complete their top-flight schedule with a trip to Leicester City next weekend, before turning full attention to matters of personnel.

The club will have to trim their wage bill and unload some high-earning stars before dropping back to the Championship, and Ramsey believes time will be tight to build a competitive squad for next season.

"Hopefully I'll get the job and hopefully I'll spend the summer planning for next season," said Ramsey.

"It's going to be a short close-season this year, probably only four-and-a-half to five weeks.

"And to recruit your playing staff over that time is going to be very intense and very important."
