Jose Bosingwa fined £100,000 for refusing to be sub

JOSE BOSINGWA has been hit with a £100,000 fine by QPR after he refused to be a sub.

The defender made it clear he was not prepared to sit on the bench against Fulham last week — and stormed out of Loftus Road.

Bosingwa was left out of the R’s squad that travelled to Newcastle yesterday with the club insisting he had damaged his back.

But SunSport can exclusively reveal that manager Harry Redknapp demanded that Rangers crack down hard on the player for questioning his authority.

The Portugal international must cough up the maximum fine of two weeks’ basic wage — which works out at around £100,000.

And it is difficult to see the ex-Chelsea man playing his way back into Redknapp’s immediate plans.

Bosingwa, 30, was among 12 players signed by former Rangers boss Mark Hughes in the summer.

He arrived on a free transfer from Stamford Bridge, where he was regularly criticised for his poor defending.

Relegation-threatened QPR managed only their first Premier League win of the season last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Fulham to get off the foot of the table.

Redknapp is determined to build a winning team spirit after being appointed as Hughes’ successor. And he will not put up with anyone not committed to the survival fight.
