Tony Fernandes has revealed the man he had in mind for the QPR manager’s job is British.

But after a think and an away win at Sunderland, former academy chief Chris Ramsey will stay in charge until the end of the season.

The chairman tweeted a few days before a first victory on the road he believed he had found his ‘dream manager’ - and for the first time explained the social message was more exasperation than information, while hinting strongly he might revisit the ideal candidate at a later date.

Whether it’s Ramsey or someone else - it definitely won’t be outgoing Brentford manager, Mark Warburton.

“He was on the list,” admitted Fernandes. “I never spoke to him. His was a name I picked up on Twitter as it happened because of his pedigree and what he has done for Brentford, but he’s not in the mix for the end of the season.

“I wanted someone who believed in coaching players.

“We wanted a people person who could motivate players. Someone who had come up the hard way, and up through the leagues, and someone who fitted QPR. We know more or less who Rangers fans want, and would say: ‘wow’, when we announced it.

“If you look at Chris, he’s fitted all those points.

“We never ever considered anyone who wasn’t from here. The reason I put that Tweet out was I was getting tired of those being suggested. (Danish manager, Michael) Laudrup was the last straw for me.”
