Agent confirms Granero exit

Esteban Granero's agent has confirmed the midfielder will quit relegated QPR this summer.



The former Spain Under-21 international joined from Real Madrid last August, penning a four-year deal at Loftus Road.



He was one of a number of big-money signings to sign for Rangers last season but they failed to revive the team's fortunes, with the club eventually finishing bottom of the Premier League.



In order to adjust to life back in the Championship a number of the team's high earners will need to be sold to balance the books.



Granero's agent, Teo Lazaro, has revealed the 25-year-old is among those who will need to seek a new club during the close season.



"QPR will have to part ways with a number of highly paid players following their relegation from the Premier League," he told Izvestia.



"Among those players listed is the name of my client. Basically, we have to find a new club."

It is believed that a woman in her 30s visited Remy, 26, at his flat last week believing him to be alone. When she arrived his cousin and friend were also apparently present.



The woman was offered a drink and allegedly lost consciousness afterwards.



When she recovered consciousness some hours later, it is claimed she was naked and the three men were still present. The woman made a complaint to police and the men were arrested this morning.



The Metropolitan Police said:

"Officers from Sapphire are investigating an allegation of rape which happened on 6 May in the west London area.



"The allegation was passed on to the MPS by Kent Police on 8 May after the 34-year-old female victim reported it to them on the previous day, 7 May. The victim alleges she was raped by three men.



"On the morning of Wednesday, 15 May three men, [A] aged 26; [B] aged 23; [C] 22 yrs, were arrested at an address in Fulham on suspicion of rape - they remain in custody at a west London police station".

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.

QPR debt rises

Queens Park Rangers' debt has risen from £56 million to £89 million, accounts covering the club's first season back in the Premier League reveal.



The QPR Holdings Limited data, which covers last season - Tony Fernandes' first as chairman - shows Rangers made a £22.6 million loss during the campaign, despite turnover increasing from £16 million to £64 million after promotion from the Championship.



The Loftus Road club have spent heavily since promotion to the top flight, with the sacked Mark Hughes and his successor Harry Redknapp bringing in a string of expensive players.



QPR's wage bill, which covers all club employees, rose from £26 million to £51 million after promotion.



Rangers spent £25 million on new faces last season and have spent a further £30 million more in the last two transfer windows, bringing in players including Christopher Samba and Loic Remy, meaning another hefty loss is likely in the next set of accounts.



Fernandes remains committed to establishing the west Londoners, currently bottom of the table and four points adrift of safety, in the top flight.



He has outlined plans to build a new and larger stadium to replace Loftus Road, and Rangers have reportedly narrowed their search down to two sites.



"When, alongside my business partners, I purchased a majority shareholding in August 2011, my goal was to turn QPR into an established Premier League club," Fernandes said.



"This remains my focus, and I continue to work closely with Amit Bhatia and other shareholders to make this a reality.



Under the guidance of our new manager Harry Redknapp, we are hopeful that the club will secure their Premier League status.



"We are confident that the 2012-13 season will also see the club continue to make progress towards achieving their short, medium and long-term off-pitch targets."
