QPR chairman labels war of words between Redknapp and Taarabt as “an embarrasment”

Chairman of Queens Park Rangers Tony Fernandes, has apologised for the public spat between manager Harry Redknapp and midfielder Adel Taarabt and labelled it “an embarrassment”.
Redknapp accused the player of being overweight and claimed he could not even run about in a reserve game. But the Moroccan hit back and insisted his physical condition was fine.
Fernandes has now waded into the row and promised that matter will be dealt with internally.
“As a club, we are fully aware of stories in the press over the last few days regarding Harry Redknapp and Adel Taarabt,” Fernandes said.
“We regret these issues being played out in public and Harry Redknapp and Adel Taarabt have been notified of our disappointment regarding their handling of the situation. I have spoken to them both personally.
“On behalf of the club, I would like to apologise to the QPR supporters for the embarrassment this has caused and confirm that the issue has been dealt with internally.
“The club’s focus is now on the Aston Villa fixture next Monday and hopefully after a tough few days we can turn a negative into a positive and build on Sunday’s improved display.”
