larry1971 interesting piece in todays Daily Mail, Redknapp says that unless QPR win soon then there is quote " no point in buying anybody in January as we will already be down" with Reading only 2pts better off and 6pts from safety it's going to be pretty much the same for us .QPR, have one great advantage over us they have Redknapp, whether he was at West Ham or Portsmouth he has always had the knack, despite of the clubs position in the relegation zone of persauding and bringing in quality players to save the club from relegation. Even if Mcdermott, is in charge next month he simply does not have the same quality or personality of Rednapp to be able to bring in those quality players needed to stay up and even if we do sack Mcdermott apart from loan signings I can't honestly see who is going to want to join the club.
Both Southampton and Portsmouth nearly went bust following his stewardship. He is a chequebook manager. At Portsmouth they have received almost no long term benefit to their extended stay in the top flight as all the excess money just went in ridiculous player wages. Such that their infrastructure is no better than most of their relegation rivals in league 1.
