Do you want QPR to get relegated?

Harry Redknapp's position at Queens Park Rangers is under increasing threat, with the club’s hierarchy considering replacing him with former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood.

Redknapp is not in immediate danger of losing his job but relations between him and the board have become strained in recent weeks following a poor start to the season which has left QPR bottom of the Premier League table with one win from seven matches.

Talks had begun over a new contract several months ago but Redknapp’s unwillingness to commit - a stance he declared publicly last week - combined with QPR’s abject displays have prompted chairman Tony Fernandes to ponder alternatives.

Fernandes remains an admirer of Redknapp but the lack of spirit in many of QPR’s performances this season have led to suggestions internally that the club may soon need to make a change.

For now, Fernandes is supportive of Redknapp yet mindful of how long the club waited before sacking Mark Hughes in 2012 - 12 games into the campaign. His resolve could be tested further with matches to come against Liverpool, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Emirates Marketing Project.

Sherwood’s name has been raised by club officials and it is believed the former midfielder is keen to return to work after his five-month spell in charge at White Hart Lane.

Les Ferdinand was Sherwood’s assistant during his time at Spurs and is now QPR’s head of football operations. Sherwood had chances to return to the game after he left Spurs but could not reach an agreement with West Brom or Crystal Palace.

Despite his unpopularity among a section of Spurs fans, Sherwood left the club with a win percentage of 59 per cent in the Premier League, the best of any boss at White Hart Lane since 1992.

No decision has yet been taken on Redknapp, whose contract expires at the end of the season, but a marked improvement in performance is required to avoid further pressure on Fernandes to act.

This scenario would be TRULY hilarious! And it would make for great pop-corn viewing:
What would Redknapp Junior think?
What comment piece articles would the likes of Samuels and Ashton churn out whilst it unfolded?
Also, wouldn't this tick the "not enuff English coaches get a chance" box?

I would LOVE IT if this happened!

F-me; it might even make sense given Les Ferdinand's move there last week; Perhaps Ferdinand was truly in the know? :eek:

I wouldn't go that far. One manages in Russia now, I have no idea what the other two are up to.

One is top of the Russian league, one is top of the Ukrainian league and one has recently taken charge of Al-Ahli after years of winning leagues and cups in Switzerland and managing in the Bundesliga. They all regularly have their teams in the Champions League, or at worst the Europa League.

For all three the time spent at Tottenham sticks out like a sore thumb in otherwise exceptional careers. It's perfectly understandable it can take some time to get back on track afterwards.

Edit: Looks like Ramos left this summer. Not surprising given the situation in Ukraine. Dnipro were runners-up last season and are currently top.
 
I wonder which of the flappy gobs released that story? Timmeh via Les or 'Arry direct?

Wouldn't surprise me if 'Arry was lining up his successor if he's had word that he's on the way out. Someone needs to make sure his mates keep getting looked after.

Neil Lennon regularly had his team in the Champions League too.
 
i'm not sure what the neil lennon point is, he's on the way to being a proper manager as well, beat Barca in the CL

It's had 4 different winners in the last 10 years - it's at least twice as competitive as Scotland.

Of course it is, but it's not even in the top 5 European rankings so it's hardly a destination for world class or even good managers through choice, unless they are just looking for a big payday.

Russia are 7th, Ukraine 9th and Switzerland 13th. Scotland are 23rd.

The top 3 leagues only have a limited number clubs that can realistically fight for the title. Finishing mid table in the PL isn't much of an achievement compared to winning or even fighting for a title in a competitive league.

The real payday chasers are the ones jumping from club to club in the PL and Championship picking up payoffs every time they get sacked. If someone like Allardyce really wanted to prove himself he would have gone abroad and won something. But then again, that counts for nothing with the British tabloids.
 
Harry Redknapp: I won't beg to keep my QPR job

Harry Redknapp's position as QPR manager is under increasing pressure ahead of Sunday's tough Premier League game against Liverpool

Harry Redknapp has revealed he will go to dinner with Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes on Friday night - but insisted he will not be begging for his job.

Redknapp's position as manager is under increasing pressure ahead of Sunday's tough Premier League game against Liverpool, with QPR rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.

The 67-year-old insists he is not letting doubts over his job affect him and will not quiz Fernandes over his position during the pair's dinner date.

"I don't need assurances," said Redknapp. "I talk to Tony every day. We're going to dinner tonight.

"But I'm not going to pay for it so he keeps me in a job. I'll let him pay. It's up to Tony what he does. What am I going to say - 'Please Mr Fernandes, keep me in a job?'

"If he's not happy then can come and talk to me. I am a big boy. I am feeling no pressure whatsoever.

"I'm not under pressure. We're seven games into a Premier League season. We've played three home games. We lost to Hull, beat Sunderland and drew with Stoke in a good game. We're not 20-odd games in."

Redknapp also insisted that his desire to manage is not dwindling, saying: "All I know is I was up at 4am this morning, like I am every morning," said Redknapp. "I must do it for some reason. And I'm not doing it because I have to feed the dogs.

"The day I don't want to do it, I'll just roll back over when the alarm goes off."

Rednapp not feeling the pressure. ..and there lies the problem. He needs to. He's not hungry any more. Ironically like the youth players he criticises for being too rich too young. He's not fuked if he loses his job really.

I've seen him in Dorset - at a nice sea food restaurant. He has a cushedy life to go back to. The fight is not there.
