QPR: Chris Ramsey named manager until end of season

Chris Ramsey

QPR caretaker boss Chris Ramsey has been given the manager's job until the end of the season.
Ramsey, 52, had been in temporary charge at Loftus Road with director of football Les Ferdinand after Harry Redknapp quit to have knee surgery.
The former England U20 manager joined Rangers' coaching staff last year after a decade as head of player development at Tottenham Hotspur's academy.
During that time he had worked closely with former Spurs boss Redknapp.
On Tuesday QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said he had got his "dream manager".
It is not clear if he was referring to Ramsey, or a potential permanent successor to Redknapp for next season.

 2004-2014 Tottenham academy

 2014- Queens Park Rangers

Former Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood was contacted about the job, while Derby manager Steve McClaren and Real Madrid assistant Paul Clement were also in the frame - although Fernandes dismissed media reports as wide of the mark.
Ex-Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup, currently in charge of Qatari side Lekhwiya, ruled himself out of taking over at QPR in the short term.

Former QPR striker Kevin Gallen says the appointment of Ramsey represents an embarrassing turnaround for Fernandes after his "dream manager" message on Twitter.
"I think the comment he made on Tuesday has made him look a little foolish," Gallen told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It's obvious his dream manager wasn't Chris Ramsey and, now he is the manager until the end of the season, he has had to backtrack."

  Lil Wayne will stay with Cash Money and Birdman IF they ante up the money he's owed ... in fact, we're told if Cash Money antes up, Wayne has no choice but to stay. Sources involved in the case tell our media ... Wayne feels Birdman's decision to avoid paying him is nothing more than a power play. media broke the story that Wayne is suing, and a central claim is that Birdman has consistently stiffed him over the last year. There are 2 payments that have irked Wayne -- he says he was owed $8 million when he went into the studio to record "Tha Carter V" in December 2013, and another $2 mil when he completed the album last month.   We're told the hope is that Universal -- which distributes Cash Money records -- will step in and earmark the $10 mil for Wayne. And we're told Universal is already putting pressure on Cash Money to settle. If Cash Money pays Wayne the $10 mil, it would essentially eliminate any breach of contract. That means Wayne ...
