Chris Ramsey has admitted that his QPR side ‘feel sorry for the travelling fans’ after their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed by a crushing 6-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Rangers went into the match at the Etihad knowing that defeat to Manuel Pellegrini’s side would see them return to the Championship just a season after they secured promotion to the top flight with their 1-0 Play-Off final victory over Derby County.
Speaking after the match, Ramsey admitted that his side only had themselves to blame for the manner of the defeat.
"We came here with a lot of hope, shot ourselves in the foot and gave away three set pieces which they scored from,” he told Sky Sports.
“On the day we didn't really turn up and they are a very good team. The boys will be very disappointed in the way they performed. We are really feel sorry for the travelling fans.
"As you can imagine the dressing room is very, very quiet. I don't think it's a time for post mortems, our fate is what it is.
