I just think this is going to be one of those films that will leave non-QPR fans totally gobsmacked. We've had some inside views of what's going on because it's our club and we love it so much, hence the feelings running so high throughout the summer. This will probably end up on Channel 4 as they usually take on good independent film-makers...

No it's a proper film/documentary, not sure when the release date is or where you'd be able to see it. Best bet will be to look out for it to buy online.
A spoof trailer! have you not read all the stuff written on this? My bet is it will be on Channel 4 at some point.
It is to be shown at The Marbella International Film Festival on Sunday 16th October.Running time is 96 minutes,and Ad Hoc productions hope to distribute the film throughout Europe later that month.
The Four Year Plan: Loftus Road, or more like Animal House - first night review By Neil Ashton Last updated at 10:30 PM on 17th October 2011 In the final scenes of the film The Four Year Plan, Queens Park Rangers players celebrate with the Championship trophy and dance on a podium with medals around their necks. After putting up with co-owner Flavio Briatore and chairman Gianni Paladini during the making of this tempestuous 96-minute documentary about life at Loftus Road, they certainly deserved them. Briatore and Paladini brought a whole new meaning to the term ‘boardroom interference’ in this belter, with their barmy, scandalous behaviour at QPR. They pick on players, pick fights with their managers and pick the team during combustible scenes that make this an absolute must-see. Friends in high place: Flavio Briatore ran QPR in a very eccentric way (with Naomi Campbell and Tamara Beckwith) For anyone wondering how Briatore and his boardroom accomplices chewed their way through nine full-time and caretaker managers during the making of this fearless fly-on-the-wall film, look no further. Paladini routinely refers to their managers as ‘idiots’. Some of the scenes are baffling and even QPR’s players stare in disbelief, their jaws dropping to the floor during frequent interruptions from the top. It is impossible not to sympathise with the players, especially when winger Hogan Ephraim stands up for his team-mates in front of Briatore. Sadly, none of his fellow pros offer much support. For Paladini, chairman when QPR were sanctioned by the FA over the Alejandro Faurlin dispute, the trawl through the past four seasons in west London is embarrassing and illuminating. Curtain call: QPR were revitalised under Neil Warnock and sealed promotion last season Paladini tells his managers: ‘No-one will break your b***s at QPR — so long as you win’, and refers to Rangers legend Gareth Ainsworth as ‘that pr*** who is trying to get himself sacked’. When Jim Magilton’s future as manager is being discussed at a finance meeting, Paladini chimes in to say: ‘If you force the issue, maybe you will p*** him off enough and he will leave.’ Weeks later they get their wish when Magilton is suspended after an altercation with his own player Akos Buzsaky at Vicarage Road. Magilton has always denied wrongdoing, but Paladini puts people in the picture during yet another heated scene: ‘You cannot headbutt players — after a while they lose their marbles.’ New era: Tony Fernandes bankrolled a huge summer splurge at Loftus Road He loses the plot with Paulo Sousa’s assistant Bruno Oliveira at half-time when he passes on a message from Briatore to bring on strikers during the second half. At least Amit Bhatia, vice-chairman at Rangers, comes across as a voice of reason, adding a touch of class to the chaotic scenes. The film is a beauty, winning Best Documentary at the four-day Marbella Film Festival over the weekend, and will soon be released in England. When it is, prepare for uproar. iReader http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Animal-House--night-review.html#ixzz1b74gdpQb WOW
The Four Year Plan just won Best Documentary Film at the Marbella Film Festival. Obviously not knowing what it's up against or anything but that sounds like there's more to it than just the highlights we've all seen. (don't you just hate seeing a great trailer for a film and when you see the entire film you find out the rest of it is ****)
I don't know whether to get really excited about this, or go hide behind the sofa? I think we should all get in to the mind set, before any of us go and see it, that we now have new owners who care and aren't a bit like the ones who are long gone. We should just look at the film with a smile on our face that things are different now. But **** me it looks like it's going to be interesting viewing. I also would like to see Warnock recall Hogan at the end of the season just for standing up to Flav!
