Rio Ferdinand: QPR would be CRAZY to sack Harry Redknapp... we must not hit the panic button despite poor start to season

Harry Redknapp should be given time to sort out
QPR's troubles in the Premier League, according
to Hoops' defender Rio Ferdinand.
The west London side are languishing at the
bottom of the table and rumours have surfaced
about Redknapp's future at the club.
The 67-year-old is yet to pen a new contract, but
Ferdinand says it would be crazy for owner Tony
Fernandes to push the 'panic button' so early on
in the season.
We are not even in double figures for the amount
of games played yet. To push the panic button
now would be crazy in my eyes,' Ferdinand, who
signed for QPR this season, told the Evening
Standard.
'He wants to get the club out of this situation
we're in. It's not for the lack of trying.'
Ferdinand also admitted he didn't want Redknapp
to be destined for the same fate as his manager
last season David Moyes.
Redknapp worked with the 35-year-old when he
was a youngster at West Ham.
'No one wants to see their manager get sacked. It
was not nice to see it happen to David Moyes at
Manchester United last season and I wouldn't
want to see it here. It's down to us as players, as
well as the coaching staff, to start turning results
around.'
