Fernandes insists QPR must leave Loftus Road

QPR owner Tony Fernandes insists the club needs to leave Loftus Road.

The Rs look set for a drawn-out legal planning process, with motor dealership Car Giant also determined to redevelop the site QPR have proposed for a new football stadium.

Fernandes said: "We need to move on from Loftus Road if we are to sustain a top-flight football club and Old Oak Common is the only realistic place for us to move.

"(It is) close to our fans and our roots, with great transport links, and the opportunity to be at the heart of the most exciting new development in west London for years."
