Redknapp insists he has Fernandes’ support

Harry Redknapp says Tony Fernandes has assured him his position as QPR manager is not under threat. 

Redknapp, who has claimed that an “insider” is responsible for reports he is close to losing his job, saw his team lose 2-0 against Manchester United at Loftus Road.

But he insisted he remains confident Rangers chairman Fernandes is not planning to wield the axe.

Redknapp said: “Someone wrote it in one newspaper this week and everyone’s got to believe it.

“I spoke to Tony Fernandes five times and he never mentioned it to me. He just said ‘What a load of nonsense’.

“Who do you believe, an insider trying to cause problems or the chairman?”

Goals from Marouane Fellaini and James Wilson gave United victory but Redknapp praised his players for their display.

“I’m very pleased [with the performance]. I thought we worked very hard today,” he said.

“At half-time we were right in the game and I thought it was important we didn’t switch off, but they went ahead in the second half.

“Then we were pushing for an equaliser and left ourselves open. Otherwise, I couldn’t ask for more.

“We’ve done ever so well this year. We’re down there but it’s very tight among the bottom seven teams.”

  • Tim could be correct.
    We are still in it because other teams are not picking up points.
    I do not see
    Harry being given any new quality players to create chances.
    I didn't go to the ManU game but the strikers for QPR were given high ratings.
    But Green again man of the match.
    Like Tim I'm getting frustrated with the performances but most importantly the results.
    A change at the top could work perhaps that's the best solution.
    Let's see a couple more games and the decision may be clear.

  • Just go harry
    You haven't improved the team
    The football we play is rubbish
    You got in ( your players )
    It's your team and its poor
    Really poor shame on you
    Your past it mate
    Going through the motions
    Loads of old people cant sleep
    And wake up early
    Its not an excuse to keep a job

    Just do the honest thing and resign
    PLEASE !!!
