Hughes still the man for Fernandes

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has again thrown his support behind manager Mark Hughes.

Winless Rangers lie bottom of the Barclays Premier League having picked up just three points from nine matches, despite a heavy outlay on new players over the summer. Fernandes, however, is refusing to panic about the team's position.

After a battling 1-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend, the Malaysian entrepreneur gave his full backing to Hughes on Twitter and took the same stance on QPR's London Call-In show. "You can't blame Mark for the position we're in but we're a vastly more consistent team than we were," said Fernandes.
