QPR owner Fernandes loves Twitter: I want to hear from fans

New QPR owner Tony Fernandes is a diva on Twitter!

After taking over at Loftus Road in a £35million deal, Air Asia chief Fernandes admits he will listen to the fans' views on the team and how the club is run.

He said: "I want to be open and transparent and make people feel they are part of it.

"There is a huge opportunity with social media and the internet. The power is to be as close to that fan base as you can."

Fernandes will also consider reducing ticket prices after the summer hike that angered Rs fans and led to Amit Bhatia quitting as vice-chairman.
