I suspect El Cif has given executive management his opinion of the home grown talent at his disposal.
Hasn't just about every manager we've had in the last 6-7 years brought in their own team of assistants and yet we continue to spiral down. On the very few occasions they did break through, the Board have then compounded the problems by gambling to bring in a lot of experienced crocks to get us over the line. Some of whom remained crocked more or less throughout while others couldn't be bothered. And all that time, the club failed to recruit any decent youngsters into the youth teams. The last one, as Eze started in the Millwall academy, was probably Richard Langley. I was at his debut. Over 20 years ago Forgive me if I've got this wrong but isn't that precisely what Ramsey was supposed to achieve? We used to be able to do it. Clement, Gillard, Busby, Leach and Francis coupled with an eye for unearthing stars for the future like Dave Thomas, Stan the man and Don Givens.
I’m all in with your sentiments Yorks, but such a different era. But bloody hell, we can do an awful awful lot better than we have done over the last nine years. To keep showing up Eze, or even Sterling, is an embarrassment really. We should have so much more than that. How many have Brentford brought in and sold on in just the last few years. Maybe not exactly apples for apples but we have been very poor in bringing in and developing talent. I think a lot of us have been saying for a long time things need to change or nothing improves. I’m sure Chris Ramsey has done a lot of good things but developing players for first team football hasn’t been one of his successes; nor has developing players into saleable assets (which would drastically change our FFP position). Nobody said it was easy Chris, but you have had a long time and not really produced the goods. Good luck in whatever you do going forward. Now we want to move forward.
What happened to the days when you had just the manager and his assistant. When you look at the bench nowadays there seems more than the away support
I’ve got a friend in the club says different. Says he’s a great bloke but there haven’t been enough Rayan Kollis.
Fair enough, not everyone gets on with everyone. My pal has slagged him off well before now, but has always got on well with Paul Hall and Andy Impey. Says Ramsey was slagging off Ainsworth to the junior staff about his coaching methods behind his back - no matter what you think about a manager, that's poor form especially considering his track record.
Not sure if this has been posted and or is old news. QPR in race storm over curry jibes as midfielder Amrit Bansal-McNulty sues club for failing to safeguard him from abuse during Crawley loan spell... and says ex-boss Chris Ramsey brushed off vile slurs Amrit Bansal-McNulty is suing QPR for failing to safeguard him from racism The case is part of wider claim for damages from his experiences at Crawley 'It's totally indefensible': Why Joey Barton is way out of line - Listen to It's All Kicking Off By MATT HUGHES FOR THE DAILY MAIL PUBLISHED: 09:30 AEDT, 11 January 2024 | UPDATED: 09:37 AEDT, 11 January 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Former Queens Park Rangers boss Chris Ramsey has been accused of failing to act on a racism complaint from ex-player Amrit Bansal-McNulty, which has led to the club being sued for alleged discrimination. In an unrelated development the long-serving coach, awarded an MBE five years ago for services to diversity in sport, left his role as technical director this week after nine years at Loftus Road following a review of the club’s academy structure. Bansal-McNulty is suing QPR for failing to safeguard him from the racism he suffered on loan at Crawley Town, with the compensation claim due to be heard at the London Central Employment Tribunal next year. Ramsey and QPR deny any wrongdoing and the case is not related to his departure from the club. Bansal-McNulty’s case is part of a wider claim for damages centred on his experiences at Crawley, where he alleges he suffered racist abuse at the hands of manager John Yems. please log in to view this image +2 View gallery Amrit Bansal-McNulty (above) is suing QPR for failing to safeguard him from the racism he suffered on loan at Crawley Town TRENDING Crawley suspended Yems after allegations of racist behaviour were made by several squad members in April 2022, which led to him being charged by the FA for using discriminatory language. Yems denied all but one of the charges, but 11 out of the 15 were upheld by the FA disciplinary commission. The 61-year-old was given the longest-ever ban for discrimination in English football last year when an initial 17-month suspension was extended to three years following an FA appeal. One of the charges upheld involved Yems calling Bansal-McNulty a ‘curry muncher’ and asking if he was unhappy that pizzas given by a sponsor did not include ‘curry pizza’. Bansal-McNulty’s case is against QPR rather than Ramsey, with two preliminary hearings having taken place in November, when a date for the full hearing was set for summer 2025. please log in to view this image +2 View gallery Former QPR boss Chris Ramsey has been accused of failing to act on a racism complaint Bansal-McNulty, 23, is understood to have alleged he called Ramsey to complain about the ‘racist banter’ at Crawley in April 2022, a cry for help he claims resulted in no action being taken. The midfielder also alleges that, while offering sympathy, Ramsey used words to the effect that such behaviour was commonplace in League Two and indicated he would have to deal with it. The former Northern Ireland Under 21 international argues he was surprised by Ramsey’s response as a black man with a history of speaking out about racism and diversity. Mail Sport broke the story of Yems’ use of racist language at Crawley later in April 2022, which led to his suspension and exit from the club. Ramsey phoned Bansal-McNulty that day. The player alleges Ramsey was preoccupied by attempting to ascertain whether he had leaked the story in a line of questioning he found to be intimidating, as well as reminding him that his contract was due to expire two months later. Bensal-McNulty’s deal was not renewed and he has not played professionally since.
