Bhatia Supposedly Staying: Charles Sale/Daily Mail from Couple Days ago
"... There have been doubts at the end of the last
two seasons about the Mittal family holding on to their 34 per cent
shareholding at troubled QPR. But despite relegation from the Premier
League after a crazy financial outlay to stay in the top flight, it is
understood that Amit Bhatia, steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal’s son-in-law,
has indicated he will be staying on board at Loftus Road." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article....l#ixzz2TdLBnZKO

Harry Redknapp: QPR didn't have the quality to stay up
17 May 2013
Harry Redknapp believes a lack of quality is to blame for Queens Park Rangers’ relegation.
Rangers have lost 20 games this season and managed just four wins in a miserable League campaign.
Several players have come in for criticism over an apparent lack of effort but Redknapp has dismissed that suggestion.
“People
talk about lack of effort, it’s more down to lack of quality,” said
Redknapp (above), whose Rangers side face Liverpool on Sunday in their
final match of the season.
“In some cases it’s desire but in the
main it’s quality. We need changes, for sure. This team weren’t good
enough, so we need to make some changes and improve the squad so we’re
ready. It’s a big summer for this football club. We know what we need to
do. It’s going to be tough for all the teams next year.
“We need
players with the right attitude and quality to get us out of the
Championship. I’m confident we can give it a real go but it’s a league
full of top clubs.
“It’s a tough league to get out of. There are
no easy games in the Championship — Saturday, midweek, Saturday,
midweek. We need players who can play week in week out.
“The hard
work really starts this summer. We will try to clear the decks and get
some fresh blood in as well so we can compete at the top.” Standard
