Redknapp: Mourinho couldn't handle QPR

QPR boss Harry Redknapp insists Chelsea rival Jose Mourinho couldn't handle a lower ranked club. The Rs meet Chelsea today.

"He's proved that he's a fantastic manager wherever he has been," said the Rs boss. "To be a top manager, it helps if you have top players. He has top players and he knows how to get the best out of them.

"But could he do it at QPR? It wouldn't be easy.

"He's not going to walk into a team in the bottom four or five at the moment and turn them into a top six team. That's not going to happen as clever as he might be - and he is very clever.

"I look at the manager of the year awards. When I see people win it at the big clubs I think it should be given to a Tony Pulis or a Steve Bruce. That's how I look at it. I vote for that every year.

"It's too easy to vote for one of the teams that have got everything."
