    It was deliberately provocative trolling.

    You'll need to try harder. Or just grow up.

    It's Healey and Eddie's lads considered it once many years ago, but decided against it and the brothers never fancied it. I know them.

    Fair enough. My point is as a family an interest has been shown in the past and it was the attention and consequent agro it brings that was always a stumbling block.
    If you know them you will no doubt know what happened to them when the HDM gave all and sundrie their home address on the front page.

    Former QPR owner Flavio Briatore.
    When interviewed about the QPR experience at an Italian chat show he stated "I will never invest in a Football Club again, it's only ever a good idea if you're very rich and looking for ways to waste your money. In two years you'll be very poor and won't have that problem anymore

    They deserved to lose money with the daft contracts they were handing out! £90m a season (apparently) on players wages the season they went down.

    I remember Bosingwa walking off the pitch last game of that season and laughing after they had just got relegated and the TV pundits going crazy.

    Owners need football people running the club, Briatore knew FI not football. The comment he made was to mask the real reason he had to leave the club, as he was going to be kicked out by the fit and proper persons panel, due to his dodgy deals with race fixing. If a club is run correctly, particularly these days with the TV money coming in, then it can be good business.

    For the first time in its history there is a chance that PL club ownership will lead to a profit.

    Mr Allam was recently interviewed by ITV.

    The Sky [Sports’ TV] money is not good enough. We receive the Sky money and by the time [we get it], with the wages, bills and other expenses, we will be [in] deficit again

    Anyone looking to buy the club might have better business nous than other owners...or they might not. Either way I hope we find out soon....this thread is heading the same way as the transfers thread!

    That's because he's incompetent when it comes to running a football club.

    Itd be nice to build up the infrastructure so we had better income aside from the sky tv money

    I suspect that with the departure of the Allams, income will increase as a matter of course, many people are boycotting games, and refusing to buy merchandise to spite the Allams over what they have done, I also hope that with the arrival of new owners, then dialogue will open again with the fans and that we are included in what is happening around the place, certainly as far as AP is concern that would be a given. The Tiger Army will support the club, but they will not support those that treat them with contempt, as the Allams have done during their reign.
