A month ago, Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp said he would "soon" be signing a new two-year contract. "It's all been drawn up, I just need to sign on the dotted line."
Contradicting himself, Redknapp then said in his Sunday column on Oct. 5: "The truth is I told (owner) Tony Fernandes three or four weeks ago that I do not want a contract. We'll see where QPR finish the season and take it from there. I may have had enough by then and so might the people who run the club. If we get relegated, I wouldn't expect to stay and I wouldn't want to."
Redknapp's departure may happen sooner rather than later. As Rangers prepare for Sunday's game against Liverpool, Tony Pulis, Glenn Hoddle, who is on Rangers' coaching staff, and Tim Sherwood have already been mentioned as Redknapp's successor. Four weeks can be a long time in football.
