    BBC are reporting he has said his time as Chairman of QPR is fast coming to a close.

    Not sure if this is real or not. I don't do Twitter, but saw it on FB.

    The actual Twitter thread doesn't indicate a man about to back it in.

    Oh, oh.
    FFP fine and financial straight jacket over our heads for years to come.
    New manager just installed in large part due to his relationship with departing chairman.
    Transfer window just closed with only a very basic squad in place.
    Anyone else hear alarm bells?

    Remember Tony said "I love QPR and I used to live in Shepherds Bush" and "I am a QPR fan" blah blah blah.
    Tony will just be another QPR Chairman that will come and go. It is us fans that are really QPR. People like Bob who turned up at Preston. And all the other fans story's throughout time that make our club what it is. I am sad to see Tony go but not surprised.

    Yepp. But maybe this is just the largest shareholder Mr R. naturally taking over as Chairman.

    Par for the course at QPR. If it isn't a drama it's a crisis...

    Well let’s remember this is just a report based on a comment ... released by TF of course it may just be a toe in the water to gauge opinion for his ego

    Makes me laugh - talks about transparency then makes a cryptic statement....sort of sums his time up...also does he want his money back?

    It would be interesting to know what the finances were like the day before the Italians sold the club and the finances today, to compare. Maybe they (morally speaking) owe us money!

    Very good point there and I agree totally.........I like Tony but maybe this would be the best thing for someone less addicted to the ‘media hype’ to take the lot over.

    Exactly compare other club's chairmen and it’s not hard to see TF’s downfall

    What we have had is a weak set of corporate personnel coupled with a trump style mouth piece. Couple that with a really poor media team then it’s no surprise

    You can’t run a business in the media channels .... look how many times mouth almighty leaked and then we had to wait a week for our media team to launch some very bland release. Those marketing channels should control the media very tightly. The place was run on fear and inexperience imo

    TF even pulled away at SM at one point only to then increase his profile. Never forgive him for using our club to talk about the Air Asia disaster

    Still it’s looks like that is over
    The SM revolution at last is changing
    It’s all about me ... that trend has run its course thankfully

    Ruben is the majority shareholder anyway (I think), so he is the ideal man to take over
