Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has admitted his time at the helm of the Championship club is ‘coming to a close.’

The co-chairman has been a majority shareholder at the London club since 2011 and has overseen promotion to the Premier League and took to Twitter to announce his intentions to leave eventually.

After two seasons in the top flight, the club were relegated back to the Championship where they have been ever since.

During his time at Loftus Road, Fernandes has sanctioned hundreds of millions of pounds in player recruitment to stay in the top-flight before trying to get back there, but to no avail.

The mass spending was unsustainable and has had a knock-on effect since with the club being fined £42million for breaching the Financial Fair Play rules from when they were in the elite league of English football. 

Just over a year ago, however, the QPR chief said he had no intentions of selling up, this of course, before the FFP fine.

This summer has seen the ferocious spending come to an end as chairman Fernandes issued manager Steve McClaren the remit of blooding youngsters to take advantage of their much-acclaimed academy system.

Having overseen a promotion and relegation and struggles on and off the pitch since then, would QPR be better off if Fernandes left Loftus Road?

Fernandes has made many, many mistakes, but the grass isn’t always greener.

Take a look across the Championship for example – Leeds United’s supporters have chased out owners before, but then things have been just as bad under a different regime.

You can understand frustration aimed towards QPR’s owners, but the bigger picture needs to be considered.

Chris Gallagher

Perhaps, it's always risky though.

However, Fernandes has made some major mistakes over the years with QPR paying for them now.

The future doesn't look great, and a new owner might breathe life into the club.

George Dagless

It's hard to know.

I do think it is time for a change at the club, but you never know who is going to come in and take over.

You'd like to think that any new arrival is 'fit and proper', but as we've seen countless times, things don't always work out that way.

Gary Hutchinson

Possibly, I can’t really see any options though. It’s easy to say ‘the grass is greener’, but is it?

Is it the chairman who overspent and still failed on the pitch? No. Would a new face be able to inject more cash than the Air Asia boss? No.

These are tough times at Loftus Road, but they might get even tougher if they force the owner to sell up.

I’d say they need to all stick together at the moment.
