Tony Fernandes: ‘Harry Redknapp is staying’

Chairman ends press speculation by confirming Redknapp is remaining as manager

Chairman Tony Fernandes has confirmed Harry Redknapp will be remaining as QPR manager.

Press speculation has been rife in recent days that Redknapp’s position is under threat, but Fernandes – speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, on behalf of the Board – was keen to set the record straight, commenting:

"There’s been a lot of rumours about Harry’s position being under threat, so I thought it was time to end all the speculation, so everyone can focus on the challenge ahead. I firmly believe Harry is the best man to get us out of the position we currently find ourselves in.

He has great experience and having spoken to him at length over the last week or so, he is determined to turn this around and help us maintain our Premier League status. This is Harry’s squad of players, so he is the man to move us forward.

The performance against Manchester United showed the players are behind him and that they have the stomach for the fight. We know we need to improve our away form and Harry, his coaching staff and the squad will be doing all they can to turn around our fortunes on our travels.

It’s very tight in the table and we will do our best to strengthen where we can to give us the best possible chance. The fans have been brilliant all season and all I ask is that they continue to back Harry and the team.”

The club will be making no further comment.

Done, now everyone can shut up about it and move on to finding the best way to improve with what we have going now.

At least it ends all the speculation

Ok, thats put any managerial change speculation to rest, agreed?
Now we have 2 choices.
1. Continue to b*tch, moan and complain about TF and Harry and how incompetent either of them are, which ultimately gets us nowhere, now that TF has confirmed Harry stays.
2. Stop the complaining, accept that, regardless what anyone on here, Twitter, any other forum or anywhere else says, Harry is staying. And concentrate the efforts we would have been using to complain and b*tch and moan to get behind the team. You dont have to get behind Harry or indeed TF if you really dont want to, but get behind the boys. They need us if we are going to have any chance of staying up.

So its give up or get behind them. I know which one im choosing.

"I firmly believe Harry is the best man to get us out of the position we currently find ourselves in."

"He is determined to turn this around and help us maintain our Premier League status."

Everything I have seen so far this season would contradict this.

[Rebel R's]

Also ends our hopes

[Macca]

At least it ends all the speculation

And that we will be playing in the championship next season.

Cowards give up that easily.

That's Harry's job.

[Greg1882]

Cowards give up that easily.

I'm not a coward ginge I'm a realist . Look at the fixtures , you yourself said you'd conceeded redknap isn't the man last week . It's my opinion that if he stays it's over . He's been here two years and we've been pretty much dreadful for all of it , what's suddenly going to change ?

[Tarbie]

Joke . We're down

This!

[Rebel R's]

Tony will regret his love affair with Redknapp big time come the end of the season

Regardless, nothing will change. So you're just giving up rather than getting behind the boys. Which one of those gives us a slight chance?
