Tony Fernandes: ‘Harry Redknapp is staying’

[KuPR]

Well that's a depressing start to the week.

My one hope for staying up was for the potential of a spark of impetus that a new manager might bring, especially if they had even a little bit of positivity about them.

I look forward to more tales of how difficult it is, how hard it is to win away, how we need to get just a couple more ex-Spurs #rightsorts in and we'll be OK, and then more of the same on the pitch.

I applaud his loyalty to his man. I think he's chosen the wrong horse personally.

Apologies for calling you a coward. We both know its the wrong decision mate, as you said earlier I want Harry gone too. But.my point is now that TF has said this, theres nothing anyone can say or do about it, so theres really no point in moaning about it.

No need to apologise ginge mate and I do take your point . Just feels like another kick in the ######## and I think we've all had enough of those recently . The man infuriates me I'm afraid

[Glevum_Hoop]

TF's rolled the dice and stuck with Harry - not the decision that I would have made but as a fan we need to back TF's man till end of season!!!
You rsssssssssssssssssssssssss

That statement may well put off a lot of fans travelling to away games. Cannot blame them either.

At least it ends speculation and all we can do is get behind the team on match days now

I just hope the board are drawing up a short list with who to replace him in the summer

[FurtiveFox]

I understand Tony's reasons but am disappointed. He also supported Hughes but accepted views of rest of the Board (if my understanding correct) and got rid. The difference between Hughes and Redknapp is that the former at least had a long term plan. 'Arry is simply sleepwalking towards retirement. There is no point keeping him for short, medium or long term.

We are not definitely relegated with 'Arry staying but our chances of being relegated have gone up in my view.

Whether we stay up or go down come the end of the season the board need to carefully look at the long term plan in terms of the footballing side. As with others I believe we need a younger manager who can grow with the club as opposed to another 'name.'

Overall I think we have good owners and we will come good even though would rather change manager now. Both on and off the pitch QPR a long term project. Would almost have been easier had we been in Championship or League One when they took over so they could build in a more cohesive manner. As it is we have been trying to compete with the big boys and frankly have been nowhere near ready.

Maybe Tony did this because there is no better manager free?

I am sure they are, they are probably just giving him support till the end of the season

Exactly. There isnt one. But dont let that get in the way of a good moan eh? Or a chance to dismiss the Air Asia disaster as an excuse.

[QPRDave]

Well just seen this on SSN. Let's get behind the team and the manager ....I noticed he has said we will strengthen where we can all we can ask for.
Remember last year West Ham stood by Allardyce and stayed up while the 3 relegated teams changed managers

A long term plan? Hughes? You remember who he brought to the club right? I fear for us if that was a long term plan. Under harry we have brought in countless young players with real potential.

[MYU]

It's not over and we can still do it, all we can do is support the team or hope we go down... that would be your choice?

The person you all should be after is the person who started the rumor about 'Harry getting the sack after Man Utd'. This person lied to you all and got the juices flowing.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That could be seen as sacking manager after manager

Either that or everyone at the club including Harry has had a kick up the back side.

We do need one or two players in, and some out.
