Harry Redknapp has clarified an attack he made on QPR's "overpaid" players in the wake of Saturday's defeat at Newcastle.
The Rangers manager claimed some players earn 'too much money for what they are', singled out Jose Bosingwa for refusing to sit on the bench against Fulham and suggested the club's summer transfer business had made cash for 'a lot of agents'.
The outburst prompted a Twitter response from owner Tony Fernandes, who argued that 'the value of a player is subjective', and Redknapp offered a more considered appraisal of his squad ahead of the Boxing Day game against West Brom.
Bosingwa attitude disturbs Redknapp Redknapp said: "I wasn't talking about all the players, I was talking about certain players.
"I've got no problem with players who are earning good money, and value for their money, I just felt there are one or two who haven't given this value.
"It's difficult. When Mark brought these players in, massive money wasn't spent here on transfers.
"So what they had to do is take chances. You have to take chances on players, you get them free and you pay them decent, bigger money and it's all a gamble.
"Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't."
Redknapp praised former manager Mark Hughes, claiming players not pulling their weight caused his sacking, and said he wants to take the club higher.
He added: "It was difficult for Mark, he was a top manager. I've got great respect for him.
"And the chairman here, I don't think I've met any nicer people in football. That's why I'm desperate to do well for the people who run this club.''
