Harry Redknapp says that if QPR continue to struggle, he won't necessarily be putting too much pressure on the club's owners to embark on a big January spending spree.

The Hoops picked up their second point in two games under the former Spurs manager when they drew 1-1 with Aston Villa on Saturday.
They have now equalized the longest run from the start of a Premier League season without a win - Swindon went 15 games without victory at the start of the 1993/94 campaign before being relegated.
Redknapp insists he is not going to buy new players just for the sake of it.
"If you are still adrift in January what is the point? What are you going to do - load yourself with more big wages?" he said.
"If we are in touching distance then I'm sure we will have a go and get one or two in but they can't keep spending their money and upping the wage bill.
"You've got to see where you are in January. If you are in touching distance then maybe you can go and get a couple in who can make the difference and get out of it that way. If we can do that then maybe we will have a go."
A move for a new defender, or two, could be on the cards, however.
"We are OK in some positions but desperately short in others. We are short of centre-halves," he admitted.
Midfielder Stephane Mbia was hospitalised after leaving the field on a stretcher following a collision with Gabriel Agbonlahor, but according to Redknapp is not too much of a concern.
"He's got a bit of a neck injury, but he shouldn't be too bad," Redknapp revealed.
