QPR manager Harry Redknapp has slammed his QPR flops as overpaid underachievers after the west London side's 0-1 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday.
Backed by QPR's Malaysian owner Tony Fernandes, Mark Hughes, who was sacked, embarked on a pre-season spending spree that saw a host of big name players, including Jose Bosingwa, Esteban Granero, Julio Cesar and Andrew Johnson, arrive on high wages. But QPR is second bottom in the Premier League with just one win from 18 matches.
"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," Redknapp said.
"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.
Redknapp confirmed that Bosingwa had been fined a fortnight's wages after refusing to sit on the bench last weekend.
"He didn't want to be on the bench and didn't want to be a substitute, so he went home," he said. "He has been fined two weeks' wages - 130,000 pounds. Not too bad for two weeks, decent isn't it? Not too bad for playing on a Saturday, it's okay."
