We have seen several times in the past that how high profile managers were thrown out when they did not deliver as expected. As the current EPL season is concluding, there are many clubs who are preparing their firing line to make sure they do perform well hereinafter. English professional football based in the White City: QPR has ended its EPL session on the 19th place of the leaderboard, and that is why its manager Harry Redknapp was expected to be shown the door after his miserable performance in the league. But on the contrary, QPR boss Tony Fernandes has said that he is looking forward to continue after they were relegated after Sunday’s 0-0 draw with the bottom placed Reading. He also said that there is no question of replacing his manager, coz he did well throughout the tournament, however, the way players lacked the desire to win is surprising to him. He revealed his confidence in him after a long meeting and said that he and his manager are ready to take on the next Championship challenge. He issued his statement about Redknapp and said, “I have had a positive meeting with Harry. I don’t think there was any point where he was thinking of not being with us and continuing this project he has embarked upon with a third of the season through.
“Harry is a football man and he knows what he wants in terms of players. We had a good discussion today with Ruben (Emir Gnanalingam), Philip (Beard, CEO) and Mark (Donnelly, COO) on the kind of players we want next season.
“Harry will not be forced to sell any players he wants to keep. We had a very good discussion on this. Harry has been very pragmatic and the shareholders have been very pragmatic. There are some players that we really want to keep and we will do our best to keep them. I think we will. It was a good meeting because we are all very clear on the timelines, we’re very clear on what to do. We may not get everything we want but I am comforted by the fact we have a plan.”
Similarly, Redknapp also expressed his grief about the way they ended their EPL campaign and said, “We’re all very sorry with the way this season has ended. It’s been a disaster really, a really disappointing season for everyone – the owners, the staff, the fans; everyone associated to the club. We’re going to give it a real good go next season though and hopefully get this club back to where it belongs. We’ve got to re-build and get a team together that can be really competitive in the Championship.
“I’ve always said, so many times, how good the people are who own this club – they’re different to anyone else I’ve worked for. They came in this morning and were so positive, when they could have been suicidal. They’re backing us all – the management, the staff, everyone. It’s unbelievable. When you work for people that are like that, it means everything. I don’t think people realise, and I’m sure some of the players don’t really realise, how lucky they are to have a group of owners like we’ve got. I think the supporters know what they’re like, and I honestly don’t think the club could be in better hands.”
