Queens Park Rangers manager, Harry Redknapp, has launched a shocking attack on some of his players by claiming they earn way too much.
The former Tottenham boss has just joined London rivals, QPR and has said that some of the players are paid too much for the quality they have. He has already had a fall-out with right back, Jose Bosingwa, after the Portuguese defender refused to sit on the bench for a match.
Asked about his plans for the January transfer window, Redknapp said: “I don’t want to spend their (the club’s) money, to be honest with you.
“There are a lot of players at this club who earn far too much money for what they are; far, far, far too much money for their ability and what they give to the club.
“I don’t really want to see the owners have their pants taken down like they have in the past. There’s a lot of agents made money out of them.
“I fined a player last week and he was earning more than any player earned at Tottenham.
“You shouldn’t be paying massive wages when you’ve got a stadium that holds 18,000 people.
“This club (Newcastle) holds 52,000 and most of their players will be nowhere near some of the wages some of the players are earning here.”
The Rangers boss also confirmed that Bosingwa had been fined by the club for refusing to play.
He said: “He didn’t want to be on the bench and didn’t want to be a substitute, so he went home.
“He has been fined two weeks’ wages, £130,000. Not too bad for two weeks, decent isn’t it? Not too bad for playing on a Saturday, it’s okay.”
