    Kevin Bond explains why Harry Redknapp really left QPR

    Published now
    Former QPR assistant Kevin Bond has explained the thinking behind Harry Redknapp's Loftus Road exit in February 2015, according to Sky Sports.
    Indeed, Bond admits QPR's away form was 'really poor' and that Redknapp felt he wasn't getting anywhere so had to call it a day.
    But the former no.2 says he wouldn't change anything about the good times at QPR.

    Bond told Sky Sports News on Friday afternoon: "Our form at home was very, very good. Away from home was really poor and we couldn’t really find an answer.
    "In the end, Harry didn’t really think he was getting anywhere so he called it a day. But I wouldn’t swap getting to the Premier League at Wembley for anything."

    While it is generally accepted Redknapp left QPR because he had given up on the battle against relegation, his official line was that his knees wouldn't let him manage anymore in a physical capacity.
    QPR fans may have wondered if the club would be far better off in the long run had Redknapp not taken over at Loftus Road.

    But plenty of blame must also be apportioned to Tony Fernandes. The hope now is that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink can mould a winning team long term, although he'll need far better help from Fernandes, while Les Ferdinand will have to leave his post or seriously improve his performance as 'head of football operations.'

    Here's the thing, if you're not going to let a manager like H sign a few players to try and get out of trouble you might as well get rid before he walks/hobbles. Just another example of the club being poorly run.

    Does he explain why Chris Ramshakle & Les FurryHand treated him like **** while he was advising them at the end of 14/15

    I expect he doesn't, either way thanks for the tactics at Sunderland it was obviously you and not St Ramsey of assisi who masterminded that one.

    we all have to use our own sense of perception to decide,although redknapp in my opinion is a brilliant manager he pays far too much for players sometimes,and his football is crap to watch but in a straight com parison between les ferdinand,jimmy floyde hasselbaink ,and harry redknapp id say redknapp is far the best of these
    three ,at least he has the capabillity to buy charlie austin one of the greatest strikers ever to play for qpr and he bought sandro who was easily the best midfield player in this division as we speak ferdinand has achieved absolutely nothing
    and will probabley take us down where as redknapp took us up into the prem which is probabley the last time in our history that we will play in the top flight

    Don't forget Modibo Maiga and Will Keane. Mauro Zarate, Steven Caulker, Rio Ferdianand, Assou Ekotto, Chris Samba and the list goes on.

    Redknapp was told by Fernandes in December (one month before he resigned) that he must generate his own transfer fees by selling but was given £90,000-a-week to spend on loans. He blew £58,000-a-week of that budget on Zarate.

    I read that as...... "couldn't be arsed when things looked tough." Same attitude as most of the players he signed.

    Re-read your post Beth (#2).

    It reads as though you're talking to yourself and you mention a "registration"?
