Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has insisted that he has no intention of leaving the club.
The 48-year-old had hinted earlier this season that he would be prepared to vacate his role if he was unable to "fix" things at Loftus Road.
However, following the team's 3-2 loss away at Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon that has left the R's seven points from safety, Fernandes took to the club's official website to issue a rallying cry.
"We fight and we fight. I am not despondent at all. QPR has come a long, long way from where we were, and the plan continues. We inherited a club that lacked so many things, and we are rebuilding every aspect. That's a huge challenge," he said. "In any business there will be hiccups. But this is not a one-year or two-year project. This is a lifelong commitment. The shareholders have that commitment. The journey ahead is so exciting.
"We need a new training ground, a new stadium, a more successful academy. That's so exciting. How can anyone feel down for too long? Forget Aston Villa. Focus on the future. The path in front of us is exciting.
"So come on, let's show the world now what type of club we are. We're a club that believes, a club that has passion, and a club that never gives up."
Fernandes was unveiled as QPR's major shareholder in August 2011.
