And he has exacted perfect revenge by scoring against the Loftus Road outfit last weekend and possibly helping to bring Redknapp’s reign at the club – and maybe even his career in management – towards a possible conclusion.
Sakho is too polite to put it in brutal terms but said: “I heard QPR didn’t want me so I wanted to prove I could do it. ”
He certainly did that and since the match at Upton Park, the fall-out in Redknapp’s direction has been intense.
And there has been serious speculation he will not sign a new QPR deal commenting: “The truth of it is I told Tony (Fernandes) “a few weeks ago I don’t want a contract.
“We’ll see where QPR finish at the end of the season and take it from there. If I’d wanted to sogn the contract I could’ve done a long time ago.”
