"You can party 'til you drop! Redknapp cancels QPR's end-of-season do, saying 'I've got nothing to celebrate...'

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has cancelled the club’s end-of-season party for fear of it turning nasty.
Rangers host Newcastle today, three points adrift at the bottom of the table. Vast differences in salaries between the club’s old guard and new faces has caused splits in the camp and midfielder Stephane Mbia was fined this week by the club for apparently asking for a transfer on Twitter.
It's off! Redknapp has cancelled plans for an end-of-season do for the QPR players Redknapp said: ‘I’ve got nothing to have an end-of-season party for.’
The 66-year-old faces the challenge of attempting to bring QPR back up the Premier League next season, but with several players on the wage bill that may need offloading, it is a tough one.
But Redknapp has already said it will be a challenge and wants to change the culture of the club by bringing in players he feels will bring a better work ethic to the dressing room, with the ex-Tottenham manager placing as much emphasis on character as ability.
'It is right up there with it for me,' he said.
'It needs to be. We need good characters like that. When I took over at Portsmouth, I brought good lads in who were just fantastic and they made the difference for me. It made the job easy.
'If you look this year, people like Clint Hill has been excellent. He is a good lad, good pro. There are people like him around. You need a good group of them and all of them pulling together.'
QPR welcome Newcastle to Loftus Road on Sunday with the Magpies still involved in the fight to avoid the final relegation place and, with Samba still unavailable, Redknapp is likely to name the same starting line-up which played against Arsenal last weekend."
Relegation yonder, again good plans ahead for overall club getting the infrastructures, good owners, reduced price ticket etc an upturn nonetheless. It would be epic!
