QPR owner Tony Fernandes has defended their transfer policy on Twitter.
QPR climbed back to the top tier via the Championship play-offs, leaving them a shorter spell to recruit new players.
Strike options were shortened by the departure of Loic Remy to Chelsea, while a deadline day move for Liverpool's Fabio Borini failed to materialise.
But Fernandes launched a passionate defence of the club's transfer policy.
"We have always been on the back foot with players," he tweeted. "We had so many loans last year as we cleared out.
"I love the Remy comments. Remy was staying, he was in my house for dinner to sign the extension. Then Chelsea called. What back up pls?
"Yeah I can pull out a striker in 24 hours. We tried hard with Borini. So pls tell me me what you would have done? Damned easy to be armchair critics."
