Is Dave lining up to play for a new team? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ew-team-ANDREW-PIERCE-S-conference-diary.html By Andrew Pierce Perhaps Mr Cameron is too busy planning the next phase of his business career. I can disclose he was spotted having a drink at the George private members’ club in Mayfair with Tony Fernandes, the Malaysian entrepreneur who owns AirAsia and is chairman of Queens Park Rangers football club. Fernandes is a colourful character. When he and Virgin Atlantic boss Richard Branson owned Formula One racing teams, they had a bet that whichever was less successful would work on the winner’s airline for a day kitted out as a stewardess. Branson lost. As for Mr Cameron’s connection with football, he is an Aston Villa fan, although he declared he backed West Ham in a speech last year. His aides called this a ‘brain fade’. So will he follow David Miliband — who became a director of Sunderland FC — and take a role at QPR, whose ground is near the family home in Notting Hill? Or does a place on the AirAsia board beckon? The motto of Fernandes is: ‘Dream the Impossible.’ Cameron’s friends tell me he hopes several of his post-Downing Street dreams will become entirely possible.
Tony was probably looking for advise on reducing his tax bill, or Dave is going to be the new face of air Asia?
I think we need a fans vote, a referendum if you will, if it is suggested that Dave becomes a director of QPR.
Mr. Cameron probably had his next job lined up in a private company a long time ago. And probably swung through some contracts between that private company and the government. Does anybody read the Private Eye? There was an excellent special report a couple of issues back about the revolving door syndrome we have in this country, where our government, it's policies and actions are wholly affected by the fact that politicians are lining up government contracts for private companies that they immediately go and work for straight after they leave politics. I really recommend reading that... you'll have a much greater understanding of how politics works in dodgy Britain.
Doubt he's interested in joining our board. He once complained that a QPR Villa game he attended in 2012 was so dull his son became a Chelsea fan! And isn't Michael Gove a QPR season ticket holder? I'd be surprised if they're sending each other Christmas cards this year, let alone spending Saturdays in W12.
They were on opposite sides of the Brexit debate. Said things that can't be unsaid about each other. Not cronies now....allegedly
You're probably bang on the money N22. They used to be close friends, their families holidayed together and Gove and his Mrs were godparents to his children. He probably feels betrayed over Gove's decision to take a leading role for brexit.
An ex-PM, even a useless one like Cameron, is a big name to have on your board of directors and might even prove useful in the Old Oak project. Maybe TF's backers will make him an offer he can't refuse...
