QPR were abysmal in the Premier League last term and Chris Ramsey has to be considered somewhat fortunate to keep his job. Ramsey knows with impatient owners a good start to the campaign is imperative. He has brought in James Perch and Swindon pair Ben Gladwin and Massimo Luongo as his significant signings along with Jamie Mackie. It has been a rebuilding job with high earning captain Joey Barton and defender Richard Dunne among those to be released. QPR have been a yo-yo team in recent seasons so will hope their new players can gel quickly to give them a chance of getting back to the Premier League. The club is not in a great financial position having had years of overspending without any obvious plans. But there is a feeling that Rangers are becoming more organised off the field and that may help them achieve more success on it.

Target


QPR will want immediate promotion. It will not be easy though.
