QPR owner Tony Fernandes has been left amazed at the fallout that has taken place this week in the wake of an incident that unfolded at his football club nearly three months ago.
Fabio Capello's shock walkout as England manager on Wednesday came hot on the heels of the Football Association's decision on Friday to go over the Italian's head and strip John Terry of the England captaincy.
The FA finally decided to act in light of an incident during QPR's 1-0 victory over Chelsea on October 23 at Loftus Road involving Anton Ferdinand.
Terry is to now stand trial in July when he will deny a charge of racially abusing Ferdinand.
Speaking to Press Association Sport about the events of the past few days, Fernandes said: "It's the power of the media, the power of how seriously people take a situation, and strong views.
"If you had told me then something like this would result in the England manager resigning I would naturally have been surprised."
