He has got his dream job, can only get better and as much money for players as he could ever want, would love so much for him to fail but im sure he will just about keep them up and the media can start there love in again.
Thing is the players he has at his disposal should be enough to keep them up anyway. Cisse, Park, Taarabt, Julio Cesar, Granero, Diakite and M'bia are names that should add quality to any mid table Prem side, it just hasn't clicked for them yet.
"I got the call on Wednes .... er .... I was at the golf club, I've lost track of the days, I got the call after I heard that Mark Hughes had left. They rang me to say that Mark Hughes had left and did I fancy it."
Laughable amount of ducking, diving and contradictions in his opening sentence!
But Arry! What about the Ukraine? The chance to finally show your skills on the international stage? Those 'great people' you met? What's that? No transfer budget, relocate to Kiev...oh.
Let's look at it from his managerial record point of view.
If we say the benchmark for survival is 40 points. (looks like it may be lower this season but lets say 40 would mean keeping them up with ease)
13 games played 25 to go. QPR have 4 points so another 36 would be 12 wins, that means he needs to achieve a win ratio of 48%, that's about the same as he managed at Spurs and that was with a much better squad. And given his managerial career as a whole is 40% it could be close.
He may keep them up, I seriously doubt it will be with ease as their squad is full of dross, add in some expensive foreign imports who couldn't really give a toss and it's a dangerous combination. This job is tailor made for him, a chairman who won't say no, plenty of transfers to come in in January and we all know how he likes a signing. He is in a bit of a no lose situation, go down and he can blame Hughes, keep them up and he takes all the arse licking of the media and a big proportion of the general public.
QPR showed promise today, as I've heard from the 1st 45 mins of the game at United, but they still lost.
Do people think Redknapp is a miracle worker? He is a very good manager but hardly anyone could turn the R's fortunes around at present, has a very difficult job on his hands.
I think he will keep them up but i disagree he is a very good manager, it's just Mark Hughes is a terrible manager but one im sure will soon find himself employed again like so many of those fergie friends/ex man utd players.
I reckon he will try and bring in Parker from Spurs. Parker is out until Christmas but he might not be in AVB's plans anyway.
Parker would be a perfect signing for QPR.
Tbh, Parker has got a lot to do to get in the Spurs team ahead of Sandro, who's been head and shoulers our best player this season, so maybe not in January but can see Harry come in for him in the summer.
I'm starting to like Redknapp now strangely enough. Didn't have a high opinion of him previously. Something about this QPR appointment has made me think he is a real football man taking on a big challenge. His outspoken persona can be quite good at times. As least he says what he means.

Sky will be delighted they'll have some action now on transfer deadline day!
It is hard to tell the outcome of this one. Wouldn't suprise me if they finished the season with 15pts and equally if they finished 15th in the table.
Still going down.
"When did you get the call Harry?"

Hughes has screwed em.
Will his dog still be getting his wages?
Will we see Beckham in a QPR shirt?
Parker would be a perfect signing for QPR.
