Following Les Ferdinand's comments about cashing in on the club's best players, many QPR fans will be deeply concerned about the club's future going forward. 

QPR's director of football exclusively revealed to Football.london that despite contract talks with one of the club's star players; Luke Freeman, they may struggle to keep hold of the 26-year-old and may be forced to sell their best players in order to maintain financial stability.

These quotes from Ferdinand will come as deeply disappointing news to QPR fans, who would have hoped that they would one day see their club return to the Premier League, after their relegation from England's top-flight in 2015.

But what do these comments mean for QPR if they become a reality? We look at the consequences if Ferdinand's comments do come true in the future.

Find out what those consequences are here....

This will be one of the greatest concerns for QPR fans going forward as they will be reluctant to see the club's best players move on.

Once the club starts getting into this "trend" of selling players then the lack of progression on the pitch will be evident in a very short space of time which will frustrate the QPR faithful.

Ultimately if the club is to sell their best players, then the quality of QPR's football will decrease and positive results will be harder to come by due to the lack of quality on the pitch.

This could send the future of the club into a downward spiral leading to potential relegation which is every fan's worst nightmare.

With poor results, and frustration aimed towards the owners over the club's transfer policy, attendances are likely to drop as more fans showcase their feelings by simply not turning up.

This will add to the issues at boardroom level as the club will not be making as much money on a matchday which will be a real concern for QPR.
