QPR chairman Fernandes admits Sir Les wants Twitter ban

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes will continue using Twitter, despite the protests of football chief Les Ferdinand.

Ferdinand is no fan of social media.

"I'm sure he'd (Ferdinand) like me not to," Fernandes said. "I'm not going to change that. There are mistakes I've made and because some of the negativity I see that winds me up.

"I'd rather have open transparency with fans who come to the club and in some ways are shareholders of it.

"I disagree with Les, and we're not going to agree on everything, but I'm a freedom of speech man. I haven't told Joey Barton to keep quiet ever, but there's an etiquette. There are limits."
