In October 1990 Jan Stejskal, the Czechoslovakian international goalkeeper, was signed from Sparta Prague for £625,000 to replace David Seaman, who had been sold to Arsenal for £1.3 million during the close season. Club Captain Paul Parker returned from the World Cup Finals as an England regular.

Bobby Gould joined the club for a brief period between December 1990 and February 1991 before leaving to become manager of West Bromwich Albion. Don Howe left the club in May 1991 to be replaced by former player Gerry Francis.

Prior to the 1991/92 season kicking off, QPR received £1.75 million from Manchester United for England defender Paul Parker. Later that season a further £1 million saw Ray Wegerle depart for Blackburn Rovers. The most outstanding performance of the season came on New Year's Day 1992 when, in front of 38,554 spectators at Old Trafford, and a live television audience, QPR thrashed Manchester United 4-1, with Dennis Bailey hitting a hat-trick. Andy Sinton won six England caps including two during the European Championships in Sweden. QPR finsihed 11th in the League, thus ensuring their place in the new FA Premier League for the next season.

In 1992/93 Rangers finished fifth in their first season in the new Premier
League. Les Ferdinand hit 20 League goals and was called up to the England squad along with David Bardsley.

England International Andy Sinton left for Sheffield Wednesday on the eve of the 1993/94 season for £2.75 million. Rangers quickly spent £750,000 on winger Trevor Sinclair and £650,000 on defender Steve Yates. After four and a half years with the club, Ray Wilkins joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer. However, he returned to Loftus Road in November 1994 when Gerry Francis left, later to become manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Ray proved to be a very popular choice as Player/Manager and a series of good all-round displays revived QPR's season, including two memorable 3-1 victories over Arsenal. They finished in the top ten for the fourth consecutive season. During the close season striker Les Ferdinand was sold to Newcastle United for a club record £6,000,000 with £570,000 of the fee going to his former club, Hayes.

The loss of England striker Les Ferdinand provied vital in 1995/96 as rangers always struggled at the wrong end of the Premiership table. Despite paying over £1M each for Simon Osborn, Australian International Ned Zelic, and Mark Hateley, Rangers lost their fight to stay in the Premier League.

In May 1996 the Thompson family announced their intention to sell the club and three months later media tycoon Chris Wright, a Rangers fan for some twenty years, bought the club and also announced his plans for Wasps Rugby Union Club to share the Loftus Road ground. Chris Wright later floated the newly formed Loftus Road plc, incorporating both QPR and Wasps, on the Alternative Investment Market.

In September 1996 Ray Wilkins left the club by mutual consent and was replaced shortly afterwards by ex-Arsenal Caretaker/Manager Stewart Houston. Former Arsenal Manager Bruce Rioch was installed as Assistant Manager. Stewart Houston's first purchase for Rangers smashed the club's previous transfer record - Scottish International striker John Spencer joined the club from Chelsea for £2.35M in November 1996. He was joined in December by his ex-Chelsea team mate and former Rangers player Gavin Peacock. Northern Ireland International Steve Morrow also joined from Arsenal.

Rangers poor home form during the 1996/97 season cost them dearly at the end and they finished ninth, five points outside the play-off places. During the close season Rangers lost out of contract striker Daniele Dichio to Sampdoria under the Bosman ruling for no fee and sold winger Andrew Impey to West Ham for £1.3M. Long serving Club Captail Alan McDonald was released on a free transfer after spending seventeen years at the club.

Rangers equalled their transfer purchase in July 1997 when Mike Sheron joined the club from Stoke City for £2.35M.
