"We had a very good discussion on this. Harry has been very pragmatic and the shareholders have been very pragmatic. There are some players that we really want to keep and we will do our best to keep them. I think we will."
Redknapp, who was also relegated from the top flight with Southampton in 2005, couldn't save QPR from the drop in 22 league games in charge this term, in which they won just 21 points, after replacing the sacked Mark Hughes.
Nevertheless, he said he was looking forward to the challenge of taking QPR back to the top flight at the first attempt.
"We're all very sorry with the way this season has ended," Redknapp said.
"It's been a disaster really, a really disappointing season for everyone - the owners, the staff, the fans; everyone associated to the club," the veteran English manager added.
"We're going to give it a real good go next season though and hopefully get this club back to where it belongs.
"We've got to rebuild and get a team together that can be really competitive in the championship.
"I've always said, so many times, how good the people are who own this club - they're different to anyone else I've worked for."
