Fernandes stands by his man

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has issued another vote of confidence to Mark Hughes after the club's miserable start to the season continued.

Rangers went into the international break rooted to the foot of the Barclays Premier League, having taken just two points from their opening seven games, and some fans have called for manager Hughes to be sacked and replaced with former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

But Fernandes told talkSPORT on Monday: "We just have to be patient, I have full faith in Mark and the team and the coaching staff."
