    Why wait on some foreign F1 fatboy to take over in the hope of good times ahead, let's do it ourselves !!! :emoticon-0150-hands

    - Chuck in what you reckon you can raise and I'll update with a total every evening.

    For starters, I reckon with a bit of begging, stealing, borrowing and selling my body, I reckon I can raise £250K (albeit resulting in me being homeless...)

    TAKEOVER FUND £250,000 (updated 21:49 01/08/11)

    With no cash to spend on players it would be a case of back to square one. May aswell keep the goons..

    Sticking your equity on a Rangers buy-out Norfolk, puts me in mind of that nutty journo on telly who ran the spoof 'Norfolk and Holmes' slum housing campaign. That'll be you then!

    You suggesting we put our money where our keyboard is then? This'll be interesting... I'll go last!

    If the US goes tits up in the next few weeks then I would think that my wonderful 10 Uk pounds that I have in my pocket would be worth approx $40m(US).

    I pledge that.

    I've got about £50, my daughter very generously offered the contents of her piggy bank which is about £2.56 and the wife told me to **** off..

    Hope that helps

    Brixton, are you going to chuck in the final bit of wedge to take us over the £100M mark? It's like the Blue Peter milk bottle top appeals.. I need a big chart thing

    I'm sure if every poster on the QPR board put everything they had into a cumulative bid we wouldn't even be able to afford a wedding present for Bernie's daughter, they're on a different planet financially. There's £35-40 million debt for starters, it's just mind-boggling...:headbang:

    Norf: deal - on one condition: that the fund has reached £99,999,000 by the time my turn arrives!

    Better still, let's wait till the US economy booms again and use Bakesy's $40m. Then when we've bought the club, we can use Huggy's nifty for a piss up (also his daughter's piggy bank might have been topped up by then - when's her birthday?)!

    Her birthday next month so say another ton to the kitty. She has enough stuff anyway so she wont miss the money.
    Am threatening the mrs with divorce if she doesn't let me remorgage the house for this. She seems to think it's not money well spent, not sure where shes got that idea from........

    I am working in an absurdly posh house near to a little football ground on somewhere called fulham road. They have got oak flooring with gold running through it. Yes gold. Does anyone have a strong magnet? If so I'm in, if not, I'm still in - I will ride an exercise bike, hooked up to a dynamo for 2 weeks without stopping and we can sell the generated power.

    People power - woo hoo!! Yeeeee haaa

    Like it! Now we're starting to get creative... Come on we don't have to stop at robbing our families and landlords, let's do a few banks and try to nick the deeds to Bernie's properties in the process. COYRs!

    Folks, we have our Consortium Board sorted now;

    BrixtonR – CEO and Consortium figurehead
    Me - Campaign Manager
    Bakes8 – investment guru
    Huggy hoops and family – wealthy family, and QPR fans
    Rrrrrs – property entrepreneur
    Peter1954qpr – king of the sex trade
    Woodyhoopleson – our very own Del boy
    Kiwiqpr – Games and Entertainment

    We need members to look after leaflets, maybe a website, car boot sales, grafitti, balloons and banners and protests, "accountant".

    Any takers?
