QPR owner Tony Fernandes says that he will not "run away" from the West London club following a disappointing run of results.

Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has admitted that he doesn't fear relegation to the Championship and emphasised the importance of a long-term "project".

The West London side are dangerously close to the drop zone of the Premier League after claiming just one win in their last six games under manager Mark Hughes.

"The QPR fans are just getting to know me," Fernandes told The Independent. "So no, I'm not going to run away.

"It's a long-term project and Rome wasn't built in a day. Along the way there will be hiccups. But when you look back in 15 and 20 years' time, we will be proud of what we achieved.

"Mark Hughes has brought new energy to the club but we haven't had the best of luck. But we have a good squad. We have a tough few weeks but if we come through that I'm really looking forward to the future."

QPR take on Everton at Loftus Road this weekend.
