Matt Holland: 'Queens Park Rangers will struggle to sell players'

Matt Holland fears that relegation candidates Queens Park Rangers won't be able to sell some of their biggest earning players during the summer.

Former Republic of Ireland international Matt Holland has insisted that Queens Park Rangers will find it difficult to part with some of their big-earning players if they are relegated to the Championship.

Today's 2-0 home defeat to Stoke City has left the R's 10 points from safety with just four matches left to play.

Discussing the club's plight, Holland has admitted that he cannot see many Premier League teams taking a chance on a large number of the current playing squad at Loftus Road.

"I looked at the QPR squad, and I wonder how many will get a move back to the Premier League? I can think of only Loic Remy, plus maybe Chris Samba and Adel Taarabt," he told BBC Sport.

"No Premier League team is going to want the other players, who will be hard to shift as they are on good wages."

Next up for Harry Redknapp's strugglers is a trip to Reading.
