Premier League cult hero reveals ‘worst dressing room he’s been in’ and was left shocked at ‘resentment’ between players

PREMIER LEAGUE cult hero Chris Samba has spoken about the worst dressing room of his career.

The former defender played in the Prem for Blackburn between 2007 and 2012, before returning in 2013 for QPR.

And it was at Loftus Road where he experienced the worst dressing room of his career.

QPR endured a torrid season, finishing bottom of the Premier League with just four wins and 14 points off safety.

Samba, 40, explained the wage structure at the club built resentment between players, leading to an unhealthy environment.

He said: “That’s the worst dressing room I’ve been in, in football.

“I think the wages being structured was not really good.

“You have a player who is on £10,000 (a week) playing with one who is on £50,000. You have a player on £20,000 that plays with someone who is on £100,000.

“So there’s a lot of resentment, or if that player played better than the one who was on more money on that day, he feels some type of way.”

Harry Redknapp was in charge at the time and he revealed another former defender, Ryan Nelsen, described it as the worst dressing room he had ever been in.

Redknapp slammed the players’ attitude towards training and matches, and was unable to avoid relegation.

But the following year he was able to guide QPR back up at the first time of asking after managing to clear out some of the worst offenders.
