London: Harry Redknapp resigned as manager of Premier League strugglers Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday, saying impending knee surgery, not a row over transfer policy, prompted his departure from Loftus Road.

Redknapp's announcement came just a day after QPR chairman Tony Fernandes tweeted there would be "no more cheque book" at the relegation-threatened west London club as the January transfer window closed Monday. Veteran English manager, Redknapp, 67, had repeatedly said he had the full support of Malaysian businessman Fernandes, the founder of the AirAsia budget airline, amid reports his position was in jeopardy with QPR currently second-bottom in the table.
