Tony Fernandes insists he's with QPR for the long haul.

There had been suggestions that relegation to the npower Championship could see Fernandes leave Loftus Road - something he has been quick to deny.

"Come what may, in May, we'll still be here," he said. "I'm firmly committed to the club. I'm not someone who's going to run away from things.

"There are still a lot of good things happening. The training ground is well on track and the stadium plans are progressing. We're hopeful of getting category two status in the Academy.

"There's no change to our off-the-field strategy. There are lots of good things going on."

He added: "We inherited a club that needed a hell of a lot of work and we'll continue to progress with our short, medium and long term goals.

"I'm a strong character who has been through a hell of a lot in life. The aviation business isn't for those with a weak heart.

"But I've got to say, the run of results - before Harry came in - really affected me. It's been really tough.

"I'm the leader and it's a great shame that after so much honest effort, we are where we are in the table."
