Fernandes issues rallying call

Posted Tuesday, May 05, 2015 by Foxsports.com

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has told fans not to despair about their current league position and insists those in charge at Loftus Road have the best interests of the club at heart.

A 2-1 defeat at Liverpool on Saturday leaves Rangers seven points from Premier League safety with just three games remaining and their fate could be decided when they travel to face Manchester City next weekend.

With uncertainty hanging over the club's financial future - and the spectre of a fine for falling foul of the Football League's Financial Fair Play rules - Fernandes has urged the fans not to lose faith.

Taking to social media, he said: "QPR Fans. Don't despair. Lots to look forward to. You have shareholders who care. Not perfect. Made mistakes. But we care.

"We have learnt a lot about players, managers, agents. Onwards and upwards. 3 out of 4 seasons in the Premier League.

"It's not over till it's over. Got three games left. Need to play for all the game. Not just 85 mins and who knows.

"See you at City. That's it for the moment. Stay positive. Hard but that's all we got. You the shareholders who are decent and care.

"Some announcements on Tuesday which will please you. There is little debt by the way. All shareholders loan. Debt is related to new stadium. Tired of journalists making stuff up.

"We have good people in the club now. Will be choosing a new CEO in the next few weeks. While the table may not look good future still good."
