Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has admitted that the club has made plans in the event of relegation from the Premier League.
The Rs sit level on points with Blackburn Rovers, but remain just outside the relegation zone in 17th by virtue of a superior goal difference.
Fernandes, who took over at at the West London club in August, has admitted that it is a tough task to stay in the top tier.
However, he added that QPR can survive a drop into the Championship as the project is a "long-term" one.
"We've got to be real, it's tough in the Premier League," Fernandes told talkSPORT. "I came in at the start of the season with wide open eyes thinking we could go down. The first game I watched was a 4-0 loss to Bolton, so I'm a realist.
"If we go down we'll have to deal with it. It's a long-term project though, we are building a great team with the backroom staff and the squad we've got. We're developing the academy and we're making plans for a new stadium.
"We'll have some setbacks and if we go down, we go down. But I'm resolute, I love what we're doing and once you put a good structure in the results will come."
Mark Hughes's men face a resurgent Everton side at Loftus Road on Saturday.
