Joey Barton says he thinks QPR will be relegated this season and is hoping to extend his spell at Marseille rather than return to West London next term.
Redknapp chance
However, Barton thinks the hiring of Redknapp does improve QPR's chances of beating the drop.
"Harry Redknapp's record speaks for itself," he said. "This time last year he was being talked about as the only successor to (former England boss) Fabio Capello.
"He has always done well with players and always got players on board. He is a really good man-manager.
"If anyone can pull the players together, a manager of Redknapp's calibre is capable of that. They are in with a good chance now with Harry there."
