QPR midfielder Sandro has jumped to the defence of former manager Harry Redknapp.

Redknapp branded the situation at QPR a "soap opera" and accused "people with their agendas" of working against him before he left the club in February citing knee problems.

"I don't think it's fair to blame him," said Sandro.

"I'm never going to put everything on the coach or the players, it is half and half because everyone has to pull together. If we don't stay up it's not Chris's fault, not just our fault, it's everyone together."
