QPR: Harry Redknapp takes over as manager
Comments (276)
Queens Park Rangers have appointed Harry Redknapp as manager on a two-and-a-half year contract.
The 65-year-old will watch his new team from the stands when Rangers play Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday.
"This was too good an opportunity to turn down," said Redknapp.
He succeeds Mark Hughes, who was sacked on Friday with QPR bottom of the Premier League table, and without a win in their opening 12 games.
More to follow.

They lucked out on this one really.
Lloris for Rob Green. Straight swap. Impossible to turn down.
I'm pretty sure the players that Redknapp would want aren't the ones he benched and sent out on loan while he was here. They'd be Parker, Defoe, and Dawson. Don't think Levy will be willing to sell them to HR unless the price is very very right.
Could see Defoe being available if we were to get in a superstar striker. Or if they offered Zamora
Still think Arry has a big job on his hands QPR have a team of shit passed it stars who were never really good enough in their day let alone now.
Why do you think he took the job, instead of trying to build a squad of them he now has one ready made.
Feel sorry for qpr - I can't see them having anyone strong enough above Redknapp to stop him from pursuing players like joe cole.........they could end up in a real mess
Joe Cole isn't capable of playing for a relegation side? I dunno, this is really the level that Redknapp excels at. I'm sure he is capable of making signgins capable of helping.
The inevitable Defoe link is already in the papers this morning.
jesus you lot are pathetic. The best bloody manager we've had in years and you lot are queueing up to take swipes at him.
i reckon Scott Parker will be the one he goes for if anyone. Harry made it quite clear he's in love with him. probably wouldnt be the worst thing in the world either, for both parties. if we recouped most of the money we spent on him, its win win really.
I for one wish him good luck. He's going to need it.
The true test though will be whatever soundbites start escaping from his motor mouth when we come to play them.
He's a good manager, but his purchasing policy isn't the most financially prudent, clubs without extensive revenue can't sustain him for long.
Nah, he promised to reinvest 1% of the money he makes in bungs back into QPR.
Cash back!
tbf, the guy's a living breathing cliche. He was fit for purpose when we signed him and he had run his natural course when he departed. And good luck to him, he's going to need it.
For the record, it's not so much 'taking swipes' as 'lining them up' at the moment.
Par example, one of 1st interviews so far (R5 not wasting time clearly) he mentioned:
- Beckham
- 4pf13g
There's not a bookie in the world who would have given me odds on these two popping up.

and I mean really managing people playing football, as opposed to PS3 controls.
Yet you feel you have the right to take the piss out of someone who has the best track record of any of our PL managers, and who produced the best football seen at WHL since 1961 (and lets face it, if we are honest - football was dogshit back then)
and all you can come up with is to slate him for not having a wide range of witty repartee and interesting responses to reporters questions. I know who I'm impressed by - and its not smart arses who use sites like this to attempt to denigrate the guy.
