Chris Ramsey is relishing his role as semi-permanent Queens Park Rangers manager , regardless of the four-point margin between the west London club and 17th place . Ramsey joined QPR as academy manager after 10 years with Tottenham , and picked up the managerial reins until at least the end of the season after the departure of Harry Redknapp in February . The former Brighton right back , whose side host Everton on Sunday , found himself out of work for more than half a year after being relieved of his duties in north London at the end of last season , and admits he was desperate to return to the game – irrespective of the circumstances . Chris Ramsey insists he is relishing his role as semi-permanent Queens Park Rangers manager . ‘ I had seven months at home watching Frasier , Jeremy Kyle and Homes Under The Hammer ! ’ said Ramsey . ‘ Of course I would rather be here in this situation than be out of work and worrying where the next job or paycheque is going to come from . ‘ I 'm in a fantastic situation - I 'm one of 20 managers in the best league in the world. ’ Ramsey has a fight on his hands if QPR are to remain in ‘ the best league in the world ’ , and while no physical confrontation took place , the 52-year-old admitted to a ‘ heated exchange ’ with his players when 3-0 down at half-time against Crystal Palace a week ago . The QPR boss instructs his players during a training session ahead of their clash against Everton . However , Ramsey knows simply rollicking his players each week won ’ t be enough to save QPR ’ s season . ‘ We ’ ve had some strong words before each game to be honest , and sometimes you have to take a different tact because the effect of that speech goes , ’ Ramsey continued . ‘ Sometimes you have to look at the game and the situation , and use different strategies to get the players ready to perform . ‘ The players didn ’ t throw the towel in against Palace . We talked about making sure the fans weren ’ t embarrassed any more in the second half of the game . ‘ So Matty ( Phillips ) scores a goal like he ’ ll probably never score again . If he shoots from there again I don ’ t think I ’ ll be too happy , unless it goes in. ’ QPR suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Alan Pardew 's Crystal Palace last weekend .
