Wages scare off rivals for QPR winger Wright-Phillips

ChampionshipQueens Park Rangers are struggling to move Shaun Wright-Phillips off their books as few clubs outside of the top flight can afford him. Boss Harry Redknapp would prefer to move the 32 year old out if at all possible, as he remains one of the club's high earners, but concedes that he may find it difficult to find a club willing to finance a deal.

He said in the Fulham Chronicle: "It's difficult. It's only Premier League clubs who could afford to take him on his wages.

"Other clubs aren't going to put up that type of money. There isn't big money in this league wages-wise.

"If any of them want to take a thousand-per-cent drop in wages or something, they can, but you don't see too many doing that."
