Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has once again sought to bring an end to the rumours regarding Mark Hughes' future.
Fernandes, who helped bankroll the signing of 12 new players over the summer, added: "It takes time for people to gel together. There were different levels of fitness and, unfortunately, we were beset with injuries. "But if you look at how we've played - bar the Swansea game - there hasn't been a team that really outplayed us. "We just have to be patient, I have full faith in Mark and the team and the coaching staff. "We've only been around for one year. "Rome can't be built in a day and I'm not a short-term person, and we need stability more than anything."
