Chris Ramsey has hailed Tony Pulis as one of the best British coaches in the country , but insists he doesn ’ t need to take any tactical tips from the experienced relegation dodger . Ramsey ’ s QPR , who face Pulis ’ s West Brom at the Hawthorns on Saturday , are 19th in the Barclay ’ s Premier League table – four points adrift of Sunderland in 17th . The R ’ s have taken just four points since the turn of the year and could do with a season climax reminiscent of Pulis ’ s 2013-14 campaign with Crystal Palace , in which they took 17 points from their final eight games to avoid the drop . Chris Ramsey praised Tony Pulis ahead of his sides crucial clash with West Brom in the Premier League . Indeed , Pulis was linked with the vacant QPR managerial post after Harry Redknapp ’ s departure in February , but many of the Loftus Road faithful turned their noses up at his perceived long-ball tactics . ‘ I think Tony Pulis would be a good fit anywhere because he is a quality coach , ’ Ramsey said when asked about the speculation . ‘ He maximises what he does with his players so he would be a good fit anywhere . Not just here , at any club . ‘ I think Tony gets a very bad reputation for the way he plays . What he does is he goes into places , assesses what the players need and gets the best out of them . I would say he is one of the top British coaches in the country. ’ Ramsey claims Pulis 'is one of the best coaches in Britain , ' but says that he wo n't be asking for his advice . While Ramsey admits he is encouraged by the likes of Pulis , he firmly believes his own tactical acumen is the reason he was entrusted with keeping QPR in the top flight . ‘ I take inspiration from Tony because I respect him as a man and as a coach and as a manager , ’ Ramsey continued . ‘ I ’ ll take any advice from any coach in any league , because I realise how tough the job is . ‘ As far as tactics are concerned , I don ’ t think I ’ d be looking at anybody else and asking for any advice . I ’ ve been put in the job for a reason , the reason being that the people who ’ ve put me in think I know what I ’ m doing . ‘ Apart from a dodgy 20 minutes at Crystal Palace , I think we ’ ve been in every game , especially against the top teams . We were extremely disappointed we didn ’ t get anything against Everton . But ultimately it ’ s about the money ends of the ground , isn ’ t it ? And we haven ’ t been good enough at both ends when it really counted. ’ The Queens Park Rangers boss knows that his side ca n't afford to slip up anymore if they want to stay up .
