QPR boss Redknapp raging over Dubai story: Agent at work!

QPR boss Harry Redknapp was raging after victory at Southampton.

Despite the win, Redknapp was furious, accusing an agent of leaking false information in a bid to destabilise the club.

Reports on Saturday alleged the west Londoners' Dubai training camp last month was marred by ill-discipline, with unnamed players likening the behaviour on the trip to a "stag party".

"It was a disgusting story in the paper," Redknapp said. "It was completely full of untruths.

"I took the team away. We arrived at five o'clock in the morning at a hotel in Dubai, trained that morning.

"We trained every morning I was there. We were on the bus at 8.30am for training, we never missed a training session. We were the only club over there that trained every day.

"I let the players have one night out with about four or five other teams out with them that night.

"That was the only night they went out and the next morning they trained. They never missed a session.

"I know where the story come from, I know who done the story and they are trying to make problems for the football club. I know exactly where it has come from."

Asked if he was disappointed that players leaked it, Redknapp retorted: "It wasn't players. It didn't come from players.

"I am sure as I can be that it came from a football agent and I know who did it."

He also said: "That was the hardest I've ever worked the football team in Dubai so when I read that [story] it really hurts me because it is completely and utterly fabricated story that has got no substance and no truth to it whatsoever."
