    Cerny, we all love to have a bit of inside info, if indeed that is what you have. But why do you persist with these cryptic one liners? You know damn well it winds people up, or is that the whole point? The thrill of having us all dangling, eagerly waiting for the next snippet!
    If you've got something to pass onto us, then do so, if not, say nothing.
    If I was wanting to solve puzzles, I'd buy a book of crosswords!

    Cerny's question is only relevant/interesting
    1. if the silent investors aren't silent - in other words if they want a say in the running of the club.....in which case they would have a seat on the board.
    2. If they are likely to request repayment of their investment at short /no notice - assume that TF has his terms and conditions sorted and this cannot happen
    3. If they fail to stump up extra investment that may have been agreed. In which case the Mittals may have to step up to the plate and the shareholding balance may change.
    There is nothing mysterious about this - very few people have £50 or £60million hanging around in cash, so TF would have to have found others to partially fund the buy out. This will be subject to terms and conditions and security guarantees either on TF himself or tied to the business. But QPR has debt, makes a loss and has very little in the way of assets (the ground is not really a realisable asset) so I doubt there is much risk to the club. By any objective measure the club is bankrupt/ not a viable business anyway ( as are most other English clubs).
    The 'silent investors' must trust the 3 Malaysians to represent their interests. While it would be fun to know who they are, it is really not relevant to the way our club is run.
    End of.

    You're 100% right Dave! And much like Ted Rogers from 321 the clues to the answer can all be found in the original question; CB asked how many "silent investors" there are, silent investor rhymes with red Leicester, red Leicester is a cheese, cheese comes from cows, Cowes is in the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Wight is famous for the Isle of White Music Festival, Bob Dylan famously played his first gig after being injured in a motorcycle crash at the Isle of White Festival in 1969, his performance there was widely regarded as being rubbish, rubbish goes in the dustbin... Put in all together and you've guessed it! We've won Dusty Bin as an silent investor in QPR!

    Simple.

    Maybe Cerny could tell us who the other two people were who shared the 66% shareholding with Bernie and Flavio.

    Hope the owners are as good as their word and open with the fans, then we won't have to rely on this kind of stuff...
