New Chairman Announced
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QPR fans had high hopes when Flavio Briatore became the Chairman of QPR
and it appeared that a new dawn beckoned. Unfortunately it became
increasingly clear that Briatore considered QPR his own personal vanity project. He
had no interest in speaking to the supporters trust or independent
supporters groups and his reported comments to the media suggested that he did not
feel he needed to be accountable to the fans. As a result he became an
increasingly unpopular figure and it is sad to say that few will be disappointed
that he is no longer chairman.
We hope that the changes within the Board will mark a move to a more
'open dialogue' between the Club and the fans which Amit Bhatia endorsed in a
recent correspondence to the supporters trust. We wish Ishan Saksena success
as our new Chairman and appreciate his statement acknowledging that the
fans are the 'real owners of the club'. We would like to thank Mr. Briatore
for his work on behalf of the Club and regret that his tenure as Chairman
of the Club did not live up to expectations.
We are looking forward to Amit confirming our request for a meeting and
will be seeking further clarification regarding the club statement. In the
meanwhile we urge all fans to get behind the lads.
