Fernandes pleased with change of QPR transfer policy

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes is pleased with the transfer business done this season.

Fernandes admits they turned down the chance of signing players for the short-term.

"There were certain managers who wanted to go for more experience than youth," Fernandes told the Mail on Sunday.

"What do you do? You keep pushing the manager, saying: "Try this, try this, try this". And he wants a different type of player. But at least this season everyone we bought [last summer] had some sell-on value and was young enough. We didn't do Jermain Defoe. Emmanuel Adebayor was offered to us and we just didn't do any of those. It never got past page one. We've created the right atmosphere now."
