QPR make promise over squad

Queens Park Rangers chief executive Philip Beard has insisted players will only leave in the summer if the right offer is received and Harry Redknapp agrees to let them go.

QPR are set to be relegated to the Championship after a dismal campaign and there is sure to be intense speculation regarding the futures of several of their high-profile names.

However, Beard insists the club will make a huge effort to win immediate promotion back to the Premier League and have no intention of overhauling their squad.

He says players will only be sold for the right money and has told manager Redknapp that he will have the final say on who stays and goes.

"We agreed that if we're relegated, we have to bounce straight back," Beard said in the Daily Mirror.

"To do this, we need the strongest squad possible and for that reason every player under contract must stay unless we get the right offer and Harry agrees to let them go.

"The commitment of the shareholders, including Amit Bhatia, is clear for all to see, and despite what has been a desperately disappointing season, the long-term future is very bright."

Harry: Result was criminal

QPR boss Harry Redknapp said Sunday's 1-1 draw with Wigan was the most disappointing of his career.

Shaun Maloney's injury-time free-kick meant struggling Rangers had to settle for a point from a game they had looked like winning despite having to play for 70 minutes with only 10 men after Bobby Zamora was sent off.

Loic Remy had fired the home side into the lead with a superb strike in the 85th minute.

Asked if he had encountered a tougher result to take as QPR manager, Redknapp replied: "All season? I don't think I've had a tougher result to take in my football career, never mind all season.

"We didn't deserve that, we deserved to win. It was a fantastic perform

ance from everyone one of them. The result was criminal.

"Even with 10 men we deserved to win. The players are low, just like I am. Very low. You don't always get what you deserve in football, that's how it goes."

Zamora was shown the red card for kicking Jordi Gomez in the head with the boot of his outstretched left leg and will now miss crucial fixtures against Everton, Stoke and Reading as a result. Redknapp refused to defend the challenge.



"I thought it was a sending-off. It was a rash challenge. He is sorry, of course he is. Bobby is a good lad. I don't know why he did it, it is not like him," he added.

QPR are 19th in the Premier League table, seven points from safety.
