FERNANDES IS WELL OFF THE MARK AT RANGERS

WHEN Tony Fernandes completed his takeover of Queens Park Rangers on August 18, 2011, they were a Premier League club, albeit one who had just lost 4-0 at home to Bolton. Coming up seven years and approaching seven managers later, Rangers finished 16th in the Championship. Asked how he would grade his work at the club so far, Fernandes awarded himself a C-plus. There will be many GCSE, A-level and graduate students at this time of the year hoping for such a generous marking system.
