I was speaking to a source on the spurs board, he actually works at the club and is a big fan of Redknapp but was explaining Redknapp has never felt at home with QPR. When he was sacked from Tottenham, apparently he was personally gutted that he never received a ton of job offers and was thankful for QPR, for giving him a chance but he doesn't feel at home with QPR. I believe he knows he isn't liked there and you can sense there is a detachment between the fans and Redknapp. He wants to be back in the premier league with a bigger club, while you fans want a different manager, someone younger and with excitement.

But Redknapp feels he has to stay loyal to your chairmain for giving him a chance when no else would (apart from the Ukraine job) after he was sacked from Spurs.

Of course I'm not typing that as fact but its info which does make sense to me as there is something missing, especially as if you look at Redknapp from his time at portsmouth, he was happy there and created excitement.

If you look at the clubs which I believe he was never completely sure of managering (yourselves and Southampton) there was a lack of excitement but as a big fan of Redknapp, he owes it to your chairmain to get you promoted and he still has the ability to do the job.

He is not a good manager, he admits he thinks tactics aren't important and just believes in buying better players and letting them get on with it. Thats OK if you manage a CL club or have an owner prepared to put the club into admin to finance it but not for us.

That clearly shows with our clueless performances and goalscoring form. Fernandes biggest decision will be the next manager, I will want him out if he chooses fat Sam or someone similar because that will be the 3 highest paid managers in our history but also 3 of the worst.

Might as well shut club up the way you carry on, no one will please you & what a stupid saying Fernandes out, Harry's record is good but just not happening here.

So are you happy with Hughes, Redknapp and someone like fat Sam? He will prove he's not fit to run the football side if he doesn't make the right appointment and sets us back several more years.
 
We all was at the time but it just hasn't worked out, you can say that about all our chairman in the past, Harry's here till end of the season & see how we go from there & no wouldn't want Sam here.
 
It was a coup to get Harry to come to us he knows what is needed having gone through promotion before. For me he has looked disinterested for many weeks now and maybe that's the problem. He had a spell when he stopped doing the post match interviews without explanation maybe he has personal problems hopefully he does not I just wish he was more animated . we can still do as our run in is not bad.

Redknapp is a good manager but he may not be suited to your club. Not all good managers produce at every club yet as long as he gets promotion then he's done his job, plus he's more then capable at premier league level.
 
Its not only managers who don't fit its players too. How many players have been good at their previous club but come to us and they are crap.

Thats because he brings in bit part players from big clubs...who can only play a bit part rather than top players from smaller clubs who are used to being the man.

More like Austin and Philips, less like everyone else.

I'm beginning to suspect that Harry doesn't want to be here tbh.

That's exactly what I was saying during the close season.

As for Harry, I didn't see him get to his feet once today.

I was shouted down on here last season when I suggested that Harry doesn't give a ****...............I've seen nothing to change my mind.
