Burnley are playing in the Premier League this season, while Queens Park Rangers are in the Championship.
Queens Park Rangers manager Ian Holloway has suggested to The London Evening Standard that the club should follow the example set by Burnley.
Burnley are playing in the Premier League this season after getting promoted from the Championship at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
The Clarets are not a massive club, but under manager Sean Dyche, the team have done quite well in recent years.
Dyche has made sure that Burnley do not spend massive sums of money on players but still get results.
Holloway, who was recently appointed the QPR manager following the departure of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, has suggested that Rangers should follow Burnley’s model.
“The Championship is a tougher competition now,” Holloway told The London Evening Standard. “How many teams have been taken over and how many have got money? Everyone wants to get promoted.
“Clubs like Blackpool getting promoted has made everyone feel we ought to be able to do it. But it is not about how much you are earning, it is about how much you care.
“Look at Burnley, they are a fantastic example of a club who has got the right balance. I do not believe it is anything more than a work ethic at your club.”
Rangers were recently in the Premier League and are now playing in the Championship.
There is potential at the London club to establish themselves in the English top flight, but it will take time.
Holloway knows the Championship inside out and is a very good manager, and the QPR chiefs have to stick with him and trust his judgement when it comes to signing players.
QPR will take on Norwich City at Loftus Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
