Former QPR defender Jose Bosingwa has blasted Rs boss Harry Redknapp, claiming he was hardly ever on the training pitch and considers himself a Sir Alex Ferguson type figure.

Bosingwa fell out of favour under Redknapp last term as QPR plunged to relegation to the Championship from the Premier League; the right-back refused to sit on the bench at one point and was fined two weeks' wages.



The Portuguese, who had joined QPR from Chelsea, moved on to Turkish giants Trabzonspor this summer, starting a new chapter in his career.

But Bosingwa has been keen to revisit his QPR spell to put the record straight as he sees it.

"I forced no one to give me the salary I was offered. They hired me on the conditions they thought were correct for a player who came from Chelsea for free", he explained to Portuguese daily A Bola.

"How can he [Redknapp, ed.] make technical analysis of the players at training when he is almost constantly in the dressing room dealing with agents and rarely turns up on the pitch?

"He's obviously frustrated. By the way he speaks he thinks he is a type of Alex Ferguson figure, but there is a difference: Throughout his long career, he has not won a single trophy."

Redknapp did manage to lead Portsmouth to FA Cup success in 2008, however Bosingwa has tasted Champions League glory at both Chelsea and FC Porto, along with numerous other trophies.
