Harry Redknapp blasts commitment of Queens Park Rangers players

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has launched a verbal attack on his players by questioning their talent and desire.

The West London outfit remain second from bottom in the table following a 2-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday, giving Redknapp a record of steering just five wins out of 23 games.

"You say [they are] talented players but are they that talented? I don't know really," ESPN quotes Redknapp as saying. "They won't go. How are you going to get rid of them? That's your biggest problem. They all have contracts. I wish you were right, and you could say [the players would leave] but it ain't going to happen here.

"How are they going to go? Who is going to pay them what they are earning here? It is going to be very hard to shift them. It is not a case of players wanting to leave suddenly.

"I hear that all the time that if they get relegated they want to go because they don't want to play in the Championship, but if they f*****g played better, then they would not be in the Championship so that's a load of cobblers."

QPR are now 10 points away from safety, with just 15 up for grabs.
