Fernandes backs Holloway and hits back at critical QPR fans on Twitter
Tony Fernandes has posted on Twitter to back manager Ian Holloway and criticise the ‘short-termness’ of some QPR fans.
Rangers were beaten 3-0 at home by Middlesbrough on Saturday and many supporters have criticised both Holloway and co-chairman Fernandes.
Fernandes has pointed to Rangers’ injury problems and the fact that youngsters have been playing more often.
Disappointing yesterday. But we made one mistake and just didn’t take our chances. Manager is trimming his squad which is good. And we have 5 academy players being blooded in .

I’m limiting myself on qpr tweets. Very frustrating seeing short term ness of certain fans.

Think the spirit in the squad is great down to the manager. The players are good. Just need to take chances . Need to stegthen in one or two areas. Lots of grea work has been done which no one sees.

Mr Fernandes says he backs the manager,not because he is any good in the job but because he is a yes man and above all Cheap.Check his record thus far and the two previous managers that MrFernandes sacked had Better records.

I hope I am realistic about the type of club we are and respect TF and other investors committment to plough money in to the club. However if we are a Championship size club, let’s make us the best we can be at that level. To keep on this nostalgia trip for the old QPR means we will fall further behind in footballing terms. We have not progressed in the simplest of football terms under this band of nostalgic appointments.

It is so hard being a QPR fan,
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born within the sounds of Terry Venables bow legs

How many more times this season and are we going to hear these excuses, I think the fans have been more than patient. After all TF your in the entertainment business, if your not entertaining those that pay week in week out, that why you have falling crowds, New blood the kids don’t want to support an ailing team. They want success and we all do. Rightly put by others this is your mess, and it needs sorting

The usual comments and nonsense from TF. All we get is let’s be patient. Patient for what? Get some decent players in. Then maybe the club can go forward. It’s TF that has got the club into its current mess!

If,as mr Fernandes says our squad was too big,why does the fact we have had lots of injuries worry him or indee why would it concern a manager who doesn’t know how to manage his squad.

Hope that the chairmans backing is quickly followed by the sacking of the manager,that’s the way it usually works isn’t it???

Get real Tony. When you became QPR owner, marquee signings were order of the day. That mindset was the foundation of why QPR are now in the place they are. You sacked our most successful manager in decades ( Neil Warnock), you financially overburdened the club which had led to prospect of financial FairPlay ruin and we are now in a place of trying to find players from lower leagues and leagues overseas.. Our transfer record in recent years is astonishing. High praise about players we are about to sign and then they are pushed out the door within a season.
Academy players who are placed in first team squad, then loaned out to lower league clubs before returning and being sold because they are not good enough. As for our injury list, do you really think that is the answer to our misfortunes? The whole club structure is weak, from your ownership, directors of football to the team itself. Time to take a hard look in the mirror Tony
