Jermaine Jenas believes QPR’s owners must keep Harry Redknapp and back him in the transfer market if the club are to make a swift return to the top flight.
Boss Redknapp has warned that relegated Rangers can expect the going to be tough in the Championship next season.
And midfielder Jenas, who played in the second tier while on loan at Nottingham Forest earlier this term, agrees.
He said: “It’s not going to be easy. I spent a bit of time in that league this year and it’s never easy.
“Hopefully the owners will continue to support in the fantastic way they have done, keep strengthening, keep as many assets as we possibly can and bounce straight back.”
Redknapp has two years of his contract left to run and, as things stand, will start next season at Loftus Road.
And Jenas insisted: “It’s vastly important. His knowledge of football and his management skills is imperative to the club and their return to the Premier League.”
