QPR's Harry Redknapp gets backing of players as victory earns boss breathing space RICHARD DUNNE has vowed that Queens Park Rangers' players are one hundred per cent behind manager Harry Redknapp and his battle to keep the club in the Premier League. By: Tony Banks Published: Tue, October 28, 2014 Harry Redknapp's QPR beat Aston Villa 2-0 on Monday[GETTY] Redknapp has come under fire in recent weeks as QPR have slumped to the bottom of the table after a dismal run of just one win in their first eight games. Then there have been the all too public spats with midfielder Adel Taarabt, which have forced chairman Tony Fernandes to step in to calm things down. There had been speculation that Redknapp might be facing the sack if he did not beat Aston Villa on Monday night, with former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood the man seemingly feted to be his successor. But Rangers at last came good on Monday, as two goals from Charlie Austin saw off a hapless Villa in a 2-0 triimph, with some inspiring performances from old hands Bobby Zamora, Robert Green and Dunne himself seeing Rangers through. Though tough times are still ahead, with Chelsea and Manchester City next up on the fixture list, there were indications that Rangers have enough to survive if they can beat those teams around them, like Villa.
