QPR owner Tony Fernandes has strongly hinted that fan pressure led to the sacking of manager Mark Hughes.

The former Manchester City boss was shown the door at Loftus Road yesterday, following QPR’s poor start to the new Premier League season, which has seen the side sit bottom of the league without a single win so far.







Hughes was backed substantially in the transfer market over the summer, but QPR only have four points from four draws to show for their investment in new players.

Now the Welshman is gone and Fernandes has insisted the fans’ views have been fully taken into account.

"This is a club where the chairman and shareholders look at all things in a long term view", he announced via his Twitter account.

"But also take the views of the fans who are the most important constituents of the club. To us fans come first."

The QPR supremo also insisted that the path the club want to take has not been changed by switching manager.

"Though we have a change the long term vision of the club remains and much good work has already been done and will continue."

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is expected to be the Rs’ new boss, with the 65-year-old in talks about taking over.

QPR face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League later today.
