Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki will take charge of the R's trip to Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The club will be making a further announcement in due course."

Reckon the Daily Fail have jumped the gun there tbh.

Sugarlumps

It's on Sky News.

I'm just glad we avoided 'Arry.

cgpg5

Harry has some job on his hands. I still think they'll go down

Think United will still destroy them tomorrow. They're capable of winning 5 or 6 nil easy

After that, I can now hate QPR.

Neil Ashton has been spot on lately.

Harry must have been desperate to get a club before the January Transfer window

Anyone

Agents up and down the country rejoice.

Go to love that that both sets of Manc fans hate Arry makes it even a better appointment. Bring it on Arry.

Hughes had to go, QPR have been woeful despite all the money they have spent. Harry is a good appointment in my books, he will keep them up.

Leiva

Arry has a cracking agent.

All week leaking stories about taking, and in talks with the Ukraine FA so as to push QPR along.

Que the "top top players" at QPR will rally and get themselves out of trouble.

jonnyfingers

Hughes just wasn't good enough.

Fair play Harry, he's got a good job in London like he wanted. He must be twitching to get started.

Whatever else you may think of him, Harry has a genius for self-publicity.

Arry hasn't been appointed yet.

In fairness, that's true.

If there's one thing you should ever be careful about, it's when Harry gets involved in a Next Manager market.

Battle of the media whores: ENGAGE.

As a spurs fan i have mixed feelings about 'Arry some great times under him but he dropped us like a hot ****cake once he thought he was in for a chance with Eng-er-land.

I think he can be a great motivator but he's tactically very niave and his overall career record is actually quite poor.

1983–1992 – Harry Redknapp manages Bournemouth
2002 – Bournemouth relegated
2008 – Bournemouth in administration , docked points and relegated
1994–2001 – Harry Redknapp manages West Ham United
2003 – West Ham relegated
2009 – West Ham relegated
2010 – West Ham saved from bankruptcy by £100m bailout by new owners
2002–2004 and 2005-2008 – Harry Redknapp manages Portsmouth
2009 – Portsmouth delay payment of players’ wages three times in four months
2010 – Portsmouth become first PL club to go into administration, making 85 people redundant; relegation follows
2011 – New owners take over and last 4 months before going into administration themselves
2012 – Portsmouth into administration for the second time
2004–2005 – Harry Redknapp manages Southampton
2005 – unusually, Southampton relegated BEFORE Redknapp walks out
2008 – Southampton players have to be sold to avoid administration
2009 – the old familiar tale: Southampton go into administration and are relegated (again).

I never understand people, idiots, who put ANY blame on Harry for Boards/directors/Owners who send clubs into Administration/Liquidation etc.

IT'S NOT HARRY'S FAULT.

He's the team manager. If he asks for money to spend and gets it then it's the fault of the people giving him the money.

If they can't say no to him, are afraid of him or whatever, it is their fault. Harry has a job to do, and that is to manage the football team, and soend whatever money he can garner from the boards he works under.

They could tell him "no", and he would probably walk away, but that's how he manages, the people in the board room are well aware of their own money situation.

I doubt Harry held guns to the heads of that many owners/directors.

Weird, baffling blame being put at his door.

As much as I don't like him, I don't think it's fair blaming the above on him. He was the football manager, not the financial director of those clubs. The vast majority of managers would do what Harry did, that Is spend any money available to them.

Whether he spent it wisely is another matter, but any blame for those clubs financial woes isn't the fault of the manager, it's the fault of the person allowing the manager spend money the club don't have

I don't see many criticising mourinho for inter's financial problems after he left there, and rightfully so

'Arry is a much more dislikeable character than Hughes could ever be.

If Harry becomes manager it will make their relegation sweeter.

Not to mention West Ham's 2009 relegation and 2010 financial difficulties being attributed to him, even though he left in 2001 :-)

Note to self, check stuff before it's copied and pasted from the net. But i do think he's overrated, he got a hugely talented West Ham team relegated for one thing.

Regarding the money side of it, yes it's not all his fault of course but I couldn't see an Fergie or a Wenger spending that recklessly.

There a myth that I think Redknapp likes to perpetuate that he's an incredible manager denied the big jobs because he's an everyman cockney in an era of trendy foreign managers.

I don't think that's true, he's achieved very little in the game and when he has achieved it's been with very talented squads.
