QPR manager Ian Holloway has said that fans won't be aware that "the bomb has gone off" behind the scenes, and has urged them to support the team as the new season beckons.

The club have put a focus on integrating young talent into their senior squad, and Holloway says that it's vital these prospects are supported due to matters out of the control of the club.

He said: "Our fans have to help me with the young ones who are coming in. It’s about getting us moving the right way.

"Unfortunately what’s happened before has resulted in what i’m left with. The bomb has gone off, the fans might not know that, but it’s gone off and i’m still holding it, so at the moment we can’t do what our owners would want us to do.

"I’m not moaning about it because we’ve got some really good transfer targets, but please be patient and i’m going to work at being as good as we possibly can."
