“To be honest, they (FA) contacted the club and asked to speak to me…it’s the national team,” Ferdinand added.“I did speak to the FA and I made my views clear to them. I was flattered they wanted to speak to me because sometimes you read reports and they make you feel like you’re not doing a good job.“But they’ve recognised what we’ve done at this football club.”QPR chief executive Lee Hoos added he viewed the approach as a compliment. “The way we view it, we are flattered and honoured that they looked at this club,” he said.“This is the national team, the fact that the FA is looking at people who work here shows we have people doing the right thing.”
