QPR chairman Fernandes hands Hughes vote of confidence

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes insists Mark Hughes' job is safe.

The West Londoners languish bottom of the Premier League with just two points from six games after Monday's 2-1 home defeat by West Ham United.

Fernandes refused to press the panic after their latest setback and blamed the club's injury crisis for their poor showing.

He tweeted: "Bad game but I expected it. Need all injured players back. After West Brom. And get everyone to match fitness. Patientce (sic). Keep calm.

"Mark will sort it out. Look at his record. We would have won if we didn't go down to 10. I am relxaed (sic) and confident. Let's get all our players back and in form and fit and then let's see. Think of spurs.

"Keep calm. 6 games does not make a season. I have learnt from many wise chairman.

"We have 5 injuries in the back. That's the problem. You fans have to realise. It will come. So much quality.

"Don't worry. I'm calm and want to build stability which is what most fans want. There are many out there who are clueless."
