'Best thing since sliced bread' - QPR fans are ecstatic as new manager is confirmed

Mark Warburton has been appointed as the new manager of Queens Park Rangers - and some fans are loving the brilliant way that the club announced his appointment.

The former Brentford, Rangers and Nottingham Forest boss has been appointed on a two-year contract at Loftus Road.

Warburton, who left Forest on New Year's Eve in 2017, will take over at QPR from John Eustace, who has been caretaker manager in recent weeks, following the departure of former England boss Steve McClaren, who was sacked by the club on April 1.

What John Eustace said about his chances of replacing Steve McClaren as QPR manager  

But the Championship club has announced his arrival with an amusing post on social networking website Twitter, with a tweet from the club's official account showing a photo of a lorry belonging to British bakery brand Warburton's outside Loftus Road, accompanied by an 'eyes' emoji.

The tweet, which can be seen below, was posted just a few minutes before the club confirmed that Warburton had been appointed on a two-year deal.

And several QPR fans are loving the way that the club announced their new manager, as can be seen below.

However, at least one fan chose to make light of the announcement in a different way with a bread-based joke, as can be seen below.
