totally fed-up with this feckin lot..."If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization."
We just need stable ownership - there are plenty of hard core Premiership Clubs without super-rich multi billionaire owners. If Fernandes, or whoever comes in, can just commit to a long term relationship with the Club we'd go from strength to strength.
right..thats it for me.im not going to waste my time winding myself up on here waiting for something to happen..im off up the pub
I'm just wondering what the Mittals will do if they saw huge amounts of support for them at opening game(s) of the season. Granted, we could get shafted but I always felt that to resign or walk away on a point of principal is soemthing to be admired - especially when you walk awy from two rich and powerful goons. Would be a shame if Ecclestone got sent to prison.........not
Fernandez is just the fall guy. I have said all along Mittal is not interested in pursuing his original option to purchase Bernie's shares. However, looking at the bigger picture I don't think I have to spell out why Fernandez has been brought in by Bernie and Flavio.
Here, here. If it's true that the Mittals have walked off into the sunset, it would be a great, great shame. IMO they would be the perfect owners. They - and Saksena - did a marvellous job last season, in a prudent and sustainable manner.
Cerny, what does this mean? Please spell it out to me. Why has Fernandez been brought in? What has this go to do with the Russian?
Ffs, what a great shame. Hopefully he is waiting for the diminuitive Chelski coffin dodger to get in his wooden suit, and then move in.
I think he has......this is from the "Please come clean!!!!!!" thread And this from QPR quest ends Lakshmi Mittal etc... And this from the epic "Thursday is the day" Who knows, maybe Thursday will be the day.
Not surprised, when F and B value us at £100 million! (Plus debt I imagine.) £100 million for QPR wouldnt be so bad if you could guarantee the sale of the deadwood/average yet high wage earners. But unfortunately nobody is going to want to pay them for playing, what we are paying them to sit on the bench or play reserve games on a Thursday night.
Yes, agreed Brix, it's going to be an uncertain start to the season from a management perspective - Sometimes, in Eccles and Mittal, I feel hopeful we're seeing the bluffs and double bluffs of two competing billionairres - and other times I think I must be fooling myself!
That's the rub Goldie, these guys have let personals come into the mix and are definitely playing games... whether it's chess or silly buggers we'll have to wait and see. Probably (and disappointingly) it'll turn out to be a bit of both. All I know is that when the Ecclestone / Mittal standoff began and I quoted the old African saying about the ground suffering when two elephants fight, I never anticipated the ground (being us and the club) having to take the pressure of a fight that would last anything like as long as this. Talk about feeling well and truly trampled over!!
Yes, the fighting elephants is a good analogy - I hope that at the very least the Mittals keep their shares and sit back and watch - I'd be sorry if they changed their allegiances to another club.
It just goes to show how fickle these guys all are. Just two months ago Mittal was enthusiastic enough about the club to plan a takeover. Now he has 'no interest'. Only at QPR could we end up being fought over by two of the worlds wealthiest men but end up having neither of them on board. Man City, Chelski and Leicester do not have these problems! We need someone who truly wants to run a football club at the helm but I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to being strugglers again so soon. Football passion and a billionaire please.
