QPR boss Chris Ramsey: I’ve always known that I have to be much better than white managers

London Evening Standard



I am speaking to Chris Ramsey after a week in which racism has dominated the headlines.



First, there were the Chelsea fans abusing the black commuter on the Paris Metro and then, in another video, West Ham supporters were seen making anti-Semitic chants as they travelled to Sunday’s game at Tottenham.



“Racism in football has been parked, not eliminated,” says the QPR manager. “People are clever at finding a way to hide racism. I haven’t heard as much racist chanting as when I first came into the game [in 1978]. The only thing we can actually do is increase awareness. But it is not just a football problem. It is a social problem.”[image error]
