Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill believes that Queens Park Rangers can only benefit from the appointment of Harry Redknapp.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill believes that Harry Redknapp will be a success at Queens Park Rangers.

Redknapp takes charge of his first match against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night, and O'Neill has insisted that the Premier League basement club have got themselves a "very fine manager".

O'Neill told reporters: "[Redknapp] is a very fine manager, he has proved that.

"The majority of us here in the room might well have thought he was going to be the next England manager, so well had he done at Tottenham Hotspur.

"It wasn't to be, but he is a very fine manager and he will bring all of his experience to bear. He's back in football and he is a talented man."

Yesterday, O'Neill rejected weekend reports that he had offered his resignation as Sunderland manager.
