Neil Warnock couldn't contain his excitement, as the Club announced Tony Fernandes' takeover of QPR at a Loftus Road press conference this afternoon (Thursday).

Flanked by Fernandes and Amit Bhatia - who will also resume in his position of Vice Chairman - the R's gaffer was all smiles, as the trio fielded a whole host of questions from the local, national and international press from 2pm.

"It's a momentous day," Warnock told www.qpr.co.uk. "To get Tony on board and listen to his ideas and plans for the Club is exciting - not just for the First Team but for the whole Club.

"I think everyone connected with QPR should be excited about the whole prospect.

"The Club needs the stability and expertise that Tony has got to take it to the next step.

"We've got to the Promised Land and we want to stay there and build a Club for the future - that doesn't happen overnight.

"We have to put bricks in place to build that foundation - everything about today is positive."

Bhatia - as most R's fans will remember - played a major role in bringing Warnock to W12 last March. The 62 year-old continued: "It only seems like yesterday when I came through the door.

"Everybody knows why I came here - Amit was instrumental in me doing so.

"I'm as excited today as I was when I came and shook Amit's hand to take the job last year.

"I told him then that we'd get up next year, and I don't think he quite believed me when I told him that!"

There are just 12 days until the summer window slams shut and Warnock admits that he'll be working tirelessly to bring in further additions to his squad.

He added: "Fortunately for me, we've still got time to bring in targets that we need at the Club, to take us to where we want to be.

"We'll all be working very hard in the coming days and weeks to bring in those players who I think we need to compete at the level we're talking about.

"We learnt so much last year to get to where we are now and we've got to learn quickly again to take the Club forward.

"Now we've got the people now on board, it's within our capabilities to do that."
