Saying sorry might not save Bosingwa
Even an apology from Jose Bosingwa may not be enough to salvage his QPR career after manager Harry Redknapp revealed some senior professionals within his squad were “disgusted” at the defender’s refusal to sit on the bench against Fulham.
Bosingwa has been left out of QPR’s squad for today’s fixture against West Brom for storming out of Loftus Road after hearing he would be a substitute for the derby against Fulham 11 days ago.
The Portuguese, a Champions League winner with Chelsea last season, was fined £130,000 for his actions, but that may not be the end of the story.
Redknapp was infuriated at the lack of fight shown by the 30-year-old and is considering ditching the player as he says he needs warriors to lead his team out of trouble.
Asked whether he would recall Bosingwa if he apologised, Redknapp’s body language suggested that might not be enough as scrunched up his face, shrugged his shoulders and said: “But you can apologise and...
“When you are down you need help. When you are playing Fulham at home you need help. We were desperate as we hadn’t won a game all year.
“You need everybody to be with you and say ’Okay let’s get on with it,’ not ’I’m not happy to sit on the bench, let’s talk about it on Monday.’ You don’t go home do you?
“His future here depends on his attitude really. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
“The fans pay their money and deserve to know the truth. They don’t expect one of their players not to want to sit on the bench.”
