When asked whether he feared relegation would ruin the club, the Rs chief told reporters:"No fear at all. If we went down, we would just have to come back up.

QPR are currently bottom of the Premier League, seven points adrift of safety after losing 3-2 to Aston Villa in their last outing, but Fernandes recently announced that he had made a "lifelong commitment" to the club and urged fans to "focus on the future".
