QPR chief executive Philip Beard says another relegation scrap is not an acceptable outcome for the season after splashing the cash this summer.

The summer transfer window was QPR's third in a row that witnessed a huge influx of players but Beard is confident such a turnover will not be repeated. He also defended the decision to sign goalkeeper Julio Cesar from Inter Milan barely two months after recruiting England's Robert Green. "The club now has two very strong goalkeepers, and Mark will decide which one plays when," he said. "It wasn't something in his mind, that Julio Cesar could come to the club a very sensible way, and we decided to take that opportunity. The best teams have strength in every position."
