    Apparently QSI, who own PSG, are interested in owning a “Sleeping Giant” in the Championship and name Forest and Villa because of their history and QPR for their location as ripe for investment.

    Not sure this is new news or not, just came across it today, quoted in Le Parisien?

    Let’s hope they are also interested in a League One club.

    I don’t think we could ever be accused of being a sleeping giant.

    Most people want a return on an investment

    Tony Fernandes would never be so disloyal as to sell the club to buyers that understood how to create and run a successful football club. We can be assured that our owners will continue to be blitheringly incompetent, with buckets of money they can't spend on the club.

    Firstly our location is ****. Impossible to build on the current site and virtually impossible to build a stadium anywhere near to as central as we are now.

    Secondly **** them anyway. Been there done it and it was ****.

    It's not as if our current owners don't have money.

    Easy access to and from Heathrow may count. I've always thought that was an attraction to jet setting Briatore

    It is. Our current owners don't if you ignore the Mittals who have been content to leave it to others to run the club and therefore the shares into the ground. Whatever their long game is I hope we're still around to benefit when their pay day arrives.

    Do we really want to become the same as PSG or Man City and simply buy our way out of this division, become as despised as those clubs, with fans that expect to win every single game played in front of thousands of tourists watching the game through their mobile phones being politely applauded......


    Be careful what you wish for....

    Wouldn’t bother me, if I got to see QPR win something. The days when we were nearly everyone’s second favourite club are long gone, we are a laughing stock with no sympathy now. Besides, Wolves bought their way out of this league and I rather like them. **** learning from experience, we just need better billionaires than the ones we’ve had.
