QPR chairman Tony Fernandes says he has been "exploited" by agents.

The Malaysian businessman pumped €50 million of his own money into the club, yet they still suffered relegation to the Premier League.

Big contracts and fees were paid out since the Loftus Road-based club arrived in the Premier League at the start of last season.

Speaking to various publications, Fernandes said, "I think I allowed myself to be exploited but that's my choice. Agents are trying to get the best contracts and there's no two ways about it, I had to pay premiums.

"I've seen all of the parts that make football quite - maybe immoral is a strong word but they would sell their grandmother to do something."

But Fernandes also said that loaning controversial midfielder Joey Barton to Marseille was a "mistake".
