QPR boss Harry Redknapp supports owner Tony Fernandes' decision to stick to the loan market.

Redknapp warned that flashing the cash would not guarantee Premier League survival.

"I knew things were tight so it is no surprise," said Redknapp on his chairman's frugal policy.

"We hold 18,000 people (at Loftus Road) so what can you do? You can't keep ask people to throw money in; they did their dough a few years ago.

"I understand the situation. It is good.

"We've got to be careful haven't we? I think we will stay up but if the worst comes to the worst you don't want to leave a situation where you are stuck with a load of players that you can't shift.

"I had to get rid of 15 the other year and we had to pay half of them up to go."
