QPR boss Harry Redknapp feels for chairman Tony Fernandes over his problems with Air Asia.

Redknapp admitted QPR transfer business pales into insignificance for Fernandes compared with the Air Asia chief executive's task overseeing the recovery of the Airbus that crashed into the Java Sea on December 28.

"It must be very difficult for him, mustn't it?" said Redknapp.

"I can't drive him mad with it (QPR transfer business) at the moment.

"Far more important things have happened than football."
