QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has told fans not to despair about the club's league position and to ignore reports of a financial crisis, reports The Guardian. QPR are seven points from Premier League safety with just three games remaining and the west London side now look like falling out of the division for the second time in three years.

Fernandes, who has often used social media to air his views since taking over at QPR, tweeted on Monday that fans should not worry about the future of the club. "QPR Fans. Don't despair. Lots to look forward to. You have shareholders who care. Not perfect. Made mistakes. But we care," he wrote. "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 he (sic) shareholders who are decent and care."

Fernandes also hit out at the media and claimed fans will be pleased by news set to be released on Tuesday. "There is little debt by the way. All shareholders loan. Debt is related to new stadium. Tired of journalists making stuff up," he added. "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 future still good (sic)."
