           Apart from this, Tony Fernandes has the traits of failure is an option. This can be seen in 2011, Tony Fernandes who the successful Malaysia airline entrepreneur in Malaysia is the new majority owner of Queens Park Rangers Football Club having bought the whole of Bernie Ecclestone's 66% stake in the club for around £35m. Conn David (2011) mentioned that, Tony wishes to be involved in football and create a football club and turn it from raw diamond into diamond. Queen Park Ranger (QPR) is the best raw diamond. He wants the fans to be proud of what they're doing and be involved as much as they can.
