Harry Houdini

Lol, Iam awaiting the media making his excuses. I'm fairly sure when he joined them they were only 4points from safety, tens of millions of pounds later they are 10points from safety

Hopefully his failure to keep us up will now also be remembered

He is a great escape artist.

Escaping from situations that do not suit him anyway....

I was having a great day and now you have made me cry.............................................................. with laughter FFS

I always felt Mr Saggychops tried to airbrush his relagation with us from his CV. Well I don't think he will be able to hide two.

Sad thing is he wil leave QPR shortly and will pop up on Match of The Day etc etc spouting forth

At QPR he spent like there was no tomorrow and had ample time to turn it around. He won't escape the media spotlight this time.

It's a far cry from when he spent sod all and got rid of Beattie for £6m and brought in the likes of Davenport and Bernard.

Just seen #QPR's Fabio get in his car & drive off at half-time. Commitment.

And here we all thought 'arry was a wheeler dealer, a motivator of men. Someone who could handle all the egos.

Apparently the twinkle said if they want to get back up they need to bring a few in. You couldn't make it up. Follow the money.

I'm shocked he lasted so long before he made the "this lot wouldn't get me out the championship" dig. He did it after about 2 games when he was here.

'Arry wont be blamed by the media, no chance! It'l be he inherited a sinking ship, the players were lazy ... etc etc. Had they stayed up you can be damned sure it wouldn't have been look at the quality he inherited, title winners, internationals etc ... team spirit pulled them through. Nope it'd have been "Ah ol' 'Arry has wheeled and sealed and worked his magic"...

It's already happening. The panel on SSN were today saying that his signings have all been a success but the existing players let him down...did the best he could do etc etc.

Harry Redknapp has won just four of his 21 Premier League games in charge of QPR, meaning that he has a lower win percentage (19%) than both Mark Hughes and Neil Warnock as QPR boss in the competition (20%).

Taken from the BBC match report from today.

There's no way of dressing it up. He has utterly failed as QPR manager.

Rubbish. According to their own fans, Samba has been a huge disappointment. Had a terrible match today.

SO no change there then!

Harry is blaming the pitch at Loftus Road for his failure !....as reported on Talksport. You could not make it up !

SO no change there then!

Exactly. Good manager when he has a good budget. Not exactly rocket science.

I bet he's looking forward to returning to Dean Court for a league game. From heir to the England job, to back where he started in 12 short months.

With the influx of proper football coaches from Spain etc, I think the days of media darlings like Harry Houdini, Martin O'Neill,Fat Sam etc are drawing to a close.

In fairness to Harry they were so far adrift when he joined and had lready played the easy games!!!

He already started blaming everyone else last week when he realised their abysmal season is reaching it's inevitable conclusion

Di Canio is making a complete idiot of Harry and a lot of other managers. Bet Reading are kicking themselves whilst QPR really have been caught with their shorts down where Harry is concernedl

How much has Harry been paid for doing **** all?

Yeah I have to admit I got this wrong earlier in the season, 'arry has totally failed there.

You can bet it'll all be the owners/players/fans/pitches/referees fault at the end of the season.

Not sure if anyone else caught it on Talksport but Redknapp appeared to blame the Loftus Road pitch today. Claimed it wasn't great for playing football on and hard for a team to establish a 'brand' of passing football on it. Yes, that is right, Excuse #1267 out of the Redknapp book, blame the pitch for season long woes. The man is really a nonsense.

He then had the cheek to suggest the owners may want a cheaper Manager next season, as though he might be doing them a favour by walking away in order to save them money despite the amazing job he is doing. Having been on the verge of the England job a year ago, his career is now utterly ****ed - I think you'll all join me by declaring it a massive shame for him.

I heard the interview and really could not believe what I was hearing. His skin must be as thick as rhino's !

Does Flyer still knock about here? Or has he disappeared again after coming on to brag about QPR beating us?

Don't think we will hear from him for some time.

Surfaced to show his ignorance about all things Saints in a thread about Esteban Granero a few days ago. He's probably loitering somewhere.

Pompey & Harry going down in the same season with different clubs......what a great season this has turned out to be!

Harry is a dinosaur.

Was it David in Sweden that suggested QPR would WIN the league after they signed 400 players in the summer?

Destroyed Pompey (good lad) - got us and now QPR relegated, writings on the wall, the guys full of krap but will the siht stick this time, I doubt it............

But he said he would stay with QPR if they went down - plums he will - he has been caught out for the sham he is big time.

Saw a program this morning where one of the ex pros was banging on about how Arry's signings have been very good Townsend, Jenas and Remy - it is all the fault of the players he inherited.

What are people's view of Samba and Tal Ben Haim's contribution?

Please do not slur Davie's name with accusations like this.

How has Harry done compared with his relegation rivals?

Heard talk sport on Friday saying he had had enough time??!! Hughes sacked after playing us.....only 12 games into the season!

He had about 6 weeks before transfer window.

Look at difference at saints (who had less room for improvement and Sunderland).

He spent miles more than anyone else, had decent players already, had good loans available to him.

He arrived the table was;

Newcastle 14

Norwich 14

Stoke 13

Sunderland 12

Wigan 11

Villa 9

Reading 9

Saints 8

QPR 4

So the great manager outspent and managed to change the gaps as follows

Newcastle fell 3 more behind

Norwich fell 4 more behind

Stoke fell 4 more behind

Sunderland fell 5 more behind

Wigan same gap

Villa fell 5 more behind

Reading caught up 5

Saints fell 11 more points behind

He is sh1t.

It's not his fault. It's not his team. He said so. He said he'll put his own team together for next season and give it a good go.

My favourite thing about his MotD interview today was him saying "we have to keep going, get 1 or 2 wins...".

Yeah, but you need 4, you twitching gobsh01te.

It's not his fault. It's not his team. He said so. He said he'll put his own team together for next season and give it a good go.

At least until the first game kicks off, then it'll be something else, and he'll be gone by Christmas. I loved it when Fernandes basically told the press a month ago that if they went down he'd be expected to stay on, removing Redknapp's usual excuse of "not being wanted by the Chairman any more".

Without the option this time of going back to his spiritual home.

QPR fan on Skysports.com sums it up for me:

(response to interview)

"Short of quality!!! We are worse now than before you took over!!! We are the laughing stock! Never before in 35 years of watching QPR have i seen a bunch of gutless, free loading un fit bunch of bozo's, and YOU put them together!! 12 million for Samba, where the board insane to let you loose with their cheque book!!! Then you complain you wont be able to shift them in the summer because of the contracts they are on, contracts YOU give them. Didnt you have a back up plan. Im disgusted about the whole thing. If we go down and say these players stay, where are the guarentees they will get us back up".

To be fair, they were also saying this under Hughes before Redknapp added quantity not quality. Now where's that been a precursor to relegation before ?

You need to score goals so what do you do, you spend £12m on a fat centre back.

His line on MOTD was it "wasn't my team"

Not even Lineker or Hansen took that seriously.

The man is a disgusting, hapless, corrupt cretin.

A friend of mine and I argued recently about what score we wanted for the QPR v Wigan match. I said I wouldn't mind a draw for that match to keep the gap between us and Wigan. He wanted Wigan to win cause he really hates Redknapp and more than anything he wanted to see him crushed. In the end I think we both ended up with the result we could be pleased with.

I got my draw but Harry was crushed!

Maybe he thinks it is still the old artifcial one from times gone by?

Also Interesting to see that since he left Bournemouth he has come full circle as he will be in the same league as them next year!

Saggy has a worse win percentage at QPR than Hughes and Warnock

Excellent

[video=youtube;D8w-Ul686bE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=D8w-Ul686bE

and many wanted this man as england manager,

Doubt it. He will "leave by mutual consent," in summer and take over Cardiff in November when they're rooted to the bottom of the table.

Did anyone hear Jamie Redknapp on Sky going on about Rafa?

Souness said he's done quite a good job and Jamie said "I'm not so sure, when he joined they were only 4 points behind Man Utd"

He joined Chelsea the same week as Twitchy went to QPR, I bet Jamie wont judge daddy's record the same way.
