Former QPR boss John Gregory has questioned the commitment of chairman Tony Fernandes.
If QPR fail to avoid the drop come May, the effects could be devastating, and Gregory is unsure whether owner Fernandes will be around to take the brunt of it.
"I think Tony is very much in love with the job he's taken on, but he loves the Premier League job," he told the Daily Mail.
"It's a big gamble what he's done, a huge gamble. Relegation could be catastrophic."
