QPR chairman has long term vision for youth

Queens Park Rangers will change from a buying club to developing and promoting young talent through their academy, says chairman Tony Fernandes. QPR have spent heavily on players in the past but Fernandes is hoping to sustain a more economical method of recruitment.

"The academy is going to be the culture. If that's the last thing I do it is going to be that players come through our academy," Fernandes told the club's website.

"That structure is in place, the people are in place. The culture on the football pitch is that we are not going to be a buying club, we are going to be a developing club.

"We are going to develop players through the system. The philosophy of the club is what you see out there on the pitch, we are going to develop a style of play."
