Redknapp: I left QPR due to doubts over club support

Former QPR boss Harry Redknapp admits he resigned in February due to doubts over support within the club. Redknapp claimed knee problems were the main reason for his decision to leave Loftus Road but he says that was not the only reason he quit.

"I always thought I had everyone pulling with me and suddenly I felt some were and some weren't," he told BBC's Football Focus. "Behind the scenes, I always thought there were one or two people with their own agendas.

"There was talk about Tim Sherwood coming in. QPR was in the paper every day. I've been at lots of other clubs, big clubs as well where you didn't get that. That got on my nerves. That was the big problem for me.

"As soon as we lost a few games, it would begin. I always thought there was someone mischievous causing it. I'd never had that before at any club I'd been at. I didn't see the teams below us getting the same sort of headlines every other week. It wore me down a little bit."
