Loic Remy signed for QPR after playing FIFA 12 with owner Tony Fernandes

To be fair, this makes as much sense as any other reason for moving to Loftus Road.

IF YOU’RE STILL wondering what could possibly have convinced French international Loic Remy that relegation-threatened Queen’s Park Rangers were the club for him, here’s your answer.

It wasn’t the money. It wasn’t the chance to work with a top, top, ‘triffic manager in Harry Redknapp.

It was a game of FIFA 12 with club owner Tony Fernandes.

Speaking to the club’s official website, 26-year-old Remy revealed that they had a four-hour chat as Fernandes persuaded him to sign on the dotted line and afterwards, they celebrated by playing computer games together.

“It was a special moment that followed our chat about QPR,” Remy told www.qpr.co.uk.

“We just played a game of FIFA – it was good and showed to me what a good person Tony is.

“He showed his human side to me as an owner of the club I wanted to join. It was a special moment for us both.”

The next question is: is Fernandes a PS3 or an XBox man?

Seriously? Southampton sack Nigel Adkins, appoint Mauricio Pochettino as new manager
