Tony Fernandes gives Mark Hughes support

Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has given his support to manager Mark Hughes following Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Sunderland.

Djibril Cisse was sent off for the second time in six games as the R's fell back into the relegation zone at the Stadium of Light.

"The manager can do nothing if players keep getting sent off and booked," Fernandes tweeted. "Mark Hughes is right guy and he has my support. Crucial for us to win home games, but boy we do make it difficult."

QPR continue their battle against the drop at home to Arsenal next Saturday.
