QPR chief pays tribute to Hasselbaink and fans after derby triumph

Tony Fernandes paid tribute to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink after QPR’s dramatic 2-1 victory at Fulham.

Rangers’ win at Craven Cottage was their first since 1980 and came days after allegations that manager Hasselbaink sought £55,000 to work for a company looking to sell players to the club.

Rangers say they are holding an internal investigation into the allegations. 

Fernandes also praised Rangers fans in a post on Instagram after the match.

Could not be happier for this man. A decent man who works his socks off for QPR. Loyalty is a strange word in football but we are family and we are QPR and we stand by our family. Thank you to the amazing fans. You deserve this. Your voice at craven cottage was somehow else. Enjoy the moment. First win at craven since 1979. Enjoy the moment. Lots of love. Tony
