QPR boss Warnock to be handed £10M by incoming owner Fernandes

QPR boss Neil Warnock is set to be handed a new transfer warchest for the remaining weeks of the summer market.

The Daily Mail says AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes is preparing to hand QPR manager Warnock a transfer fund of £10million as he looks to finalise his takeover plans.

Discussions over Fernandes' proposed buy-out are at a 'highly advanced' stage and he is hopeful of being on board by the start of the new season.

Fernandes and Warnock met briefly after the tournament as the QPR boss looked to strike a relationship he hopes will bring the job stability he craves after months of speculation over his role.

And West Ham supporter Fernandes is ready to back Warnock in a show of support for the experienced manager.

Warnock told the Daily Mail: "Myself, Flavio [Briatore] and Tony all had a positive chat after the match on Saturday.

"We've already spoken about possible targets and he is a very positive chap."
