Fernandes convinced of QPR potential

New QPR majority owner Tony Fernandes says he's buying into a club with great potential.

Fernandes has labelled the club a "fantastic diamond" and pledged to help the club reach its "limitless" potential over the coming years.

The 47-year-old, who has previously attempted to buy boyhood heroes West Ham, believes QPR have huge potential and has vowed to utilise it.

"You are in London, which is fantastic," he said.

"The potential of developing this ground at some stage or to another ground nearby is there. There is the potential to develop an academy and good training facilities.

"The potential to take QPR to other parts of the world is also there, with Amit [Bhatia]'s relationships and my relationships in Asia. [The potential is] limitless and it is a fantastic diamond, which just needs a bit of polishing."
