LONDON (Reuters) - Queens Park Rangers will change from a buying club to a developing organisation by promoting young talent through their academy, said chairman Tony Fernandes.

QPR, second from bottom in the Premier League, have spent heavily on players in the past but Fernandes is hoping to sustain a more economical method of recruitment.
