“In terms of potential, he can become even better.”

ENG HARRY REDKNAPP last night claimed it was a dodgy knee that forced his QPR exit, NOT a dodgy away record.

The Hoops have lost every single game they’ve played away from Loftus Road this season, a situation that has left them deep in relegation trouble.

Redknapp also failed to land a single player on transfer deadline day despite targeting Spurs duo Aaron Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Hoops chairman Tony Fernandes last week vowed not to sack Redknapp (right) – but he was believed to be secretly pleased to accept his resignation letter.

Former Spurs duo Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey have been put in temporary charge, but Tim Sherwood – who worked under Redknapp at Tottenham – is hot favourite to get the job permanently.

Redknapp said: “Sadly I need surgery on my knee which will stop me from doing my job in the coming weeks.

“I won’t be able to get out on the training pitch every day, and if I can’t give 100 per cent, I feel it’s better for someone else to take over.

“I wish the club every success and I’m confident they will survive in the Premier League this year.”
