QPR fans are divided over whether Chris Ramsey is the best man to lead Rangers out of the Championship.

This column reckons he is - and explains why.

He is willing to work with financial limitations

OK, so fans on GWL Facebook wanted Sam Allardyce before he joined Sunderland or another 'big name’ to ‘sort’ the team out.

Can you seriously imagine Big Sam working with the budget demanded by QPR bosses?

On one hand fans complain the club wasted fortunes on players with an inflated sense of worth, and even more inflated wallets, but also gripe when a sense of proportion is brought to the spending.

Remember the banner below?

If Rangers are to bin an inglorious recent past, save one rabbit’s foot found at the 2014 Championship play-off final, the person needed is a man to get the best out of limited and developing players like Michael Doughty and Grant Hall.

He is an excellent coach

You will find it next to impossible to hear a disparaging word from those in football about Ramsey the coach.

The breeding ground that was Tottenham under the Rs man fetched Andros Townsend, Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb - and some bloke called Harry Kane, and that’s just for starters.

Rs fans pretty much believe Massimo Luongo and Grant Hall have futures at QPR - another pair under Ramsey’s tutelage at White Hart Lane.

He is realistic about QPR aims - as is director of football Les Ferdinand

Nothing new here, but it deserves a repeat.

Sixteen players out, 14 in. Did fans seriously think this was going to threaten the likes of Middlesbrough who were a heartbeat from the Premier League last season?

Look also at what others have spent. Burnley’s £9m investment in Andre Gray? Would Rs fans be happy with that?

Hull City largely kept their Premier League squad from last season - so no surprise they lie fifth, but only three points better off than Hoops.

Maybe keeping Charlie Austin, Matt Phillips and Rob Green was a mistake in a twisted kind of way.

Supporters believed the trio would pave the way back to the Promised Land. Sorry, but eight others are just as, if not more important.

Ramsey brings a fresh approach, and not the dogma of others who have been there and done it

Let’s be honest, Ramsey is hugging himself after finally getting a chance 17 years from his first coaching job.

This is his moment - and he has far more to lose than say, Harry Redknapp.

One always got the impression Harry was doing Rs a favour by joining them rather than taking the reins in Ukraine.

Players also like Ramsey.

They think he will improve them while showing he cares about development, and if nothing else, he’s a new voice on the manager scene.

Football clubs seeking a new boss rarely seek a fresh face: they prefer dipping into the clearing house for out-of-work supremos. Brave Rangers for having the neck to go for it.

He is a decent bloke who mostly has a smile on his face

Not important? Let’s say you go to work each morning and your boss is a grim-faced jowly character who sees gloom around every corner rather than potential glory. It wears after a bit, no?

You can say a lot about person when he tries to engage in a friendly, open and honest way. Why is it football revere stone-faced hardened managers who force players to fear, sorry, ‘respect’, them?
