Potential investor Brian Rowe is furious over a report that he masterminded the rumour last week that former boss Jim Smith was set for a return to QPR.

Rowe, who was marketing manager at Rangers until 1996, was adamant he and his would-be investors were four-square behind the renewal of Holloway's contract.

Rowe said: "I personally have gone on record and stated that Ollie is the most dedicated manager I have met in this industry - and I had experience of at least 10 during my time at QPR.

"It would be unthinkable, totally wrong and suicidal, not to give Ollie the opportunity to take the club further, and I have told Ollie this.

"Had the consortium I represent ever thought otherwise, I would have walked away a long time ago."
