QPR defender Ferdinand reveals rousing speech from Sir Les

QPR veteran Rio Ferdinand says football chief Les Ferdinand has addressed the players after Harry Redknapp's resignation.

Redknapp quit as manager this week.

Writing in The Sun, Ferdinand said: "Our new director of football got the players together at training yesterday [Thursday] and didn't pull any punches.

"We all know we haven't been good enough this season and every individual realises that he hasn't performed to his capabilities.

"We have to raise the level and knuckle down. Les has set us a points target which he believes will be enough and that's what we have to aim for."
