Harry Redknapp may quit Queens Park Rangers following row over signing Wayne Bridge
5 Jun 2013 22:30
Relegated Hoops dragging their heels over bringing new faces in, even on frees, because they can't shift their big earners
Burning his Bridges? Redknapp demands final say over signings at Loftus Road
Action
Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has threatened to quit after a furious bust-up over transfers.
QPR manager Redknapp has had massive rows with their chief executive Philip Beard, who has been left in charge of player recruitment for next season by chairman Tony Fernandes.
Redknapp is desperate to bring free-agent defender Wayne Bridge to Loftus Road, and the Hoops' failure to agree a deal for the former England left-back sparked a huge behind-the-scenes argument that engulfed the club.
Angry Redknapp could now walk as QPR struggle to get big earners off the books following their relegation from the Premier League, leaving them reluctant to bring in new signings - even free transfers.
Former Tottenham boss Redknapp is now seeking showdown talks and assurances from Fernandes.
In an attack on Beard and the club’s new transfer policy, the 66-year-old said: “If we don’t change it, and I don’t get the players that I want to bring in, then we have not got a chance.
“You can’t have other people having a say at all, I’m a football person and I’ve got a staff around me of football people.
“We’ve got to make the decisions, and if we make the right ones we will have a chance. Otherwise, if other people want to make decisions we’ve got no chance.
“If I don’t get that, then I wouldn’t stick around.

“I’ll speak to Tony Fernandes. They’ve got to back me with the people I want.
“I’m not asking him to spend money, I’m looking at a couple of free transfers.
“I’m trying to get Wayne Bridge, I thought he did fantastically well with Brighton, he’d be a good left-back for us.
“He’s got great experience, looks in great shape and is a player I want to bring in on a free. I’m hoping that’s the first deal I can do.
“Tony is away, but I’ll speak to him and see if we can get the deal done.”
Bridge, 32, is available after his contract finally expired at Manchester City, following three seasons spent largely out on loan at West Ham, Sunderland and, most recently, Brighton.
But QPR are now likely to miss out on signing him because he has offers from other clubs.

Predictions: Who will win what? And who's going to go down from the Premier League?
It's June. Wimbledon hasn't started, most of the big summer movies have yet to be proved to be a poor second to a night in with a Breaking Bad DVD and the schools aren't even out - but the new season's fixtures ARE out.
So, why not ask the Mirror's team of football writers and columnists to stick their heads in the noose and predict, even though gajillions will be spent on transfers between now and September, how they reckon the 2013-14 season might go.
Here is what they came up with.
Five of the 13, for example, don't think champions Manchester United will finish first again under new manager David Moyes. Or second...
