Shaun was on 65K a week with QPR at a time in his career when he was well past his best. A player under contract is only obliged to do one thing. Look after himself, train well and make himself available. He isn't obliged to move, go out on loan or take a pay cut. Why should he?

[@jammydodger1982]

That was Harry redknapp , he had Benjani at Portsmouth as soon as a offer came in he was driving him straight to the airport to Manchester, and he didn't want to go, begging Harry to stay.

[@paulgormley5010]

​@@jammydodger1982 ​@jammydodger1982 'as soon as a transfer came in'. He paid 4.1 million for benjani from Auxerre, scored 1 goal in the Premier league (I'm fairly certain a grandmother would put as much away with chances created in a 38 game season) and was offered 9 million by Man City (before transfers went silly), how could you blame Harry for that? you would want to be simple for turning down more than double what you paid for a striker that scored once for you in the domestic league

QPR: How not to buy success in the Prem

[@RooFvIn]

Brilliant impression of Darren Farley!!!

[@DTM4581]

QPR became the dumbest club for a while as they paid out huge wages to numerous players who didn't really fancy the job.

[@SRPC21]

Actually a lot of players were all queuing up to play for QPR (who were battling relegation at the time) because of the money being offered. It was disgraceful really, and showed that’s all they cared about. This includes Odemwingie who turned up at the ground hoping to force through a deal from West Brom on deadline day (who were mid table at the time). The QPR captain gave a great interview at the end of the relegation season; He said that they sold all the players who got QPR promoted in the first place that had a lot of character and passion for the football club (replaced by money grabbing assholes who didn’t give a shit, like Bosingwa who was laughing on the pitch straight after they got relegated).

It’s not all about playing at any cost, theres other things to consider.
