According to BBC Sport he did. I wish they'd asked him more about that, i.e. does he really not feel capable of challenging for promotion with Julio Cesar, Samba, Ferdinand, Young, Park, Mackie, Hoilett, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt, Granero, Cisse, Zamora and Remy? Plus quite a few who won promotion last time. Their back up keeper will be one of the best in the league.

 

They problem will be, as it has been in the Premier League this season, that the team doesn't gel, the players don't work together and most of them don't put enough effort in. It's not really about quality - if it were they probably would have stayed up. Even if they do keep those players (unlikely), most of them will feel like they're too good for the championship.

And again on MOTD, 'it's not about effort, it's about quality, that team would struggle to finish half way up the championship'.

 

Just how much talent does he need to fail before he starts to question himself, or the media question him? He talks as if there's no part of management besides signing players. Yes, it's an awful team that won't win games, but because there's no quality. Just awful management, tactics, motivation and inspiration. Utter moron.

 

Well, according to Alan Nixon, 'Arry wants to spend 6m on Gary Hooper so his strategy I imagine will be to dupe Fernandes into giving him a ****load of money to spend in the summer.

To be fair on Harry boy - you would not want Bosingwa in your team when you are struggling at the foot of the Prem

 

He picked him, even after he fell out with him and told him he wouldn't play again. He also signed the completely useless Tal Ben Haim as backup in that position (and then played him elsewhere), decided Bosingwa was preferable to Nedum Onuoha, and apparently that signing a fourth left back, from Korea, was also more important.

'Arry obviously believes his own press and has been well and truly found out...again...but it never seems to stop him and just like the city fat cats the rewards for failure and success are pretty much identical.

 

His dog is laughing all the way to the Grand Cayman bank!

 

Oh, to be a football manager.

Hes said the current squad wouldnt finish in the top half, hes convinced me not to renew.

Its got to the point where the fans are booing the players, for the 1st time ever I booed during the game because Bosingwa had given 2 goals away and didnt care. It worked because arry took him off because he said the crowd wanted it.

 

The club is in no danger though, massive training ground has just got planning permission and a new 40k ish stadium should be announced soon. He said he wanted to follow the German model of having cheap tickets and selling more merchandise.

Personally, until the building work starts on either of those things, I wouldn't start counting your chickens. Relegation, carrying the likes of Remy and Samba, is likely to severeley damage any football club. You will not be any different

If I remember correctly your fans booed the team when Saints beat them at Loftus Road earlier in the season under Hughes, which was the worst Premier League performance I've seen from a team since Sunderland turned up at St Mary's and sleepwalked their way to relegation in 2003. They don't seem to have improved one bit under Redknapp despite him chucking £40m at it.

 

Lucky for you the parachute payments are through the roof now and you'll have a couple of seasons to chase the rebound and keep the players who want to do so - instead of immediately having to cull everything. I can only imagine that's why Redknapp's decided to stay on. Or maybe he still gets a cut of transfers and knows there's a few quid to be had there.

The player quit and didnt even try that day, they wanted Hughes gone but theres been zero turnaround since which is why it was such a shock to see that win at SMS.

 

Harry will stay on until he gets the right offer from a PL team or he might resign if were not in the top 6 after 10 matches. I think hughes was the one who had a cut of the transfers. At least we can get our money back on Remy and Samba if we need too. We wont get anything from Hughes transfers. A free is the best we can hope for.

Agreed, £5m tops. He's awful.

 

I don't get this talk of him being a good player.

 

In the last two seasons he has played CB for QPR & Blackburn, who both leaked goals and ended the season relegated.

 

Coincidence?

 

£12m & on £100k p/w no chance will QPR break even on that.

Also, this is what you said last summer -

 

I dont think so, the TV money is £60m and whoever goes down is in real trouble. Cesar, Granero and Mbia should mean a top half finish.

 

So, you are in danger according to you.

I read elsewhere he was saying he'd quit if he doesn't get a transfer chest to buy players. One thing is certain, Harry sn't going to be at QPR next season. TalkSport during the night, were really laying into his failures, especially at Saints, and don't expect him to be around there much longer.

Today's comments do seem very similar to those he made after our relegation in 2005, "Not sure if I need the hassle, squad needs major surgery" etc. Don't see this ending happily for QPR....

There's not a single trait that endears me to that man but in all fairness he did say (I think!) a couple of months or so back that 37 points would stay up and he was right.

they would not, for QPR to have got 37/39 points, they probably would have beaten, sunderland, norwich, villa etc along the way, maybe

They would have (although some wins would have been against clubs around them) but notwithstanding 37 was safe. I don't like to give him credit!

No he didn't. When asked where he thought QPR would get the points from to reach 37 he told the reporter that he (the reporter) was bonkers if he thought it would take anywhere near 37 points to stay up.

Wouldn´t have helped QPR though unless they would´ve won the "right" games. If they get up to 37 beating Wigan, Reading, Everton, West Brom for example they would still go down...

He has been steadily planting every excuse he can think of not to stay since he finished planting every excuse he could think of as to why they wouldn't stay up.

 

I'm just pleased that more and more football fans and journalists are having their eyes open to what sort of man he really is.

 

If, and its a big IF, he is there in August he sure as hell wont be by Christmas unless the Chairman rolls over and gives him all the money he has left.....poor unsuspecting sap !

OK this looks familar Harry suddendly wants to leave unless he can buy loads of new players

 

QPR manager Harry Redknapp has warned he will consider leaving the relegated club if he is not allowed to overhaul his squad this summer.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22595431

 

Pretty despicable to issue those kind of veiled threats through the press.

 

Isn't it, everyone?

Are you saying it is exactly the same thing doing it once and doing it week in week out through your career?

Many players have come out and said they will consider their position if Arry leaves.

 

 

 

 

If he leaves they will consider staying.

Taken from the BBC match report from today.

 

There's no way of dressing it up. He has utterly failed as QPR manager.

 

 

Agreed and I think quite a few others would have done so, too. Between them, he and Hughes brought in the worst set of lazy, overpaid, over-rated dossers in the League.

Rumours in the press linking Arry with the Brighton job. Surely he's going to stay and sort out the mess? Isn't he?

 

 

you've got it all wrong, he doesn't clear up messes, he creates them........and then moves on.

Did Sandra Redknapp ever get rid of their luxury Yacht "BUNG"? Otherwise I think it's high time for Harry to get onboard and sail into the sunset. :)

In other words Saggy is a bit brighter than Dalek. Not much of an achievement. :)

 

"We finished bottom because we're the worse team. We have been short of quality. It is not a good squad. It was one that wasn't good enough."

 

Oh really? Then why did you take the job, 'Arry?

 

You piece of ****.

Cant see that. Tony Bloom the Brighton chairman is pretty sharp. He's made some good buys and appointments, built a beautiful stadium and negotiated a tricky route to a new training ground. Harry isnt his style at all.
