Former QPR boss Neil Warnock says Chris Ramsey must be axed as manager.

Warnock fears QPR could be dropping into League One this time next season should Ramsey remain in charge.

He explained on talkSPORT: "I believe they have to get an experienced manager in.

"It is a going to be a lot of wheeling and dealing without spending fortunes and they need to try to establish themselves in the Championship first and foremost.

"If they go down the line of [playing] the kids, they are in for a big shock and, before you know where you are, you are plummeting down the division.

"I know Chris Ramsey is a very, very good coach, but management is different to coaching. I think they have to be very, very careful the way they go now.

"It is easy to say, 'yeah, we will give it to Chris, and bring the kids in', but if you are not careful with kids in the Championship, you are in League One before you know it.

"Chris is a good bloke and him and Les Ferdinand could sort the youth out and plan the future of the club, but I'm not sure about [managing in] the Championship."
