a mate whos a saints fan pointed this out to me earlier

[westsussexranger]

we havent actually got rid of flabbio as long as hes got shares he can always come back.

saints thought they got rid of rupert lowe but he returned a year later cos he still had shares.

what if he wants to come back once we are in the prem? especailly as from what i hear he owns the ground

[fazer vic]

i am sure the mittals would buy the ground off him if they had too.

[QPRVIN]

Cross that bridge when/if it happens!

Your never get rid of anyone if they have enough money! even if Fav sold all his shares, if wanted back in and either the Mittals or Bernie would sell there shares to him he could come back.

As far as i know the ground loan was to a company that Fav and Amit setup, so he only oownes 50%

Simply - Fav wont have a say unless the Mittals get bored or abused (our fans are good at this) and decide to sell or pass the power back.

flavio is a pauper compared to ecclesotne and mittal , they could just pay him off, petty cash tin.

[qblockpete]

Bigears, totally agree.

Most things are good at the moment, couple of defeats the criticism will start. Give it a couple of years, if we have not got promoted than watch the backlash !!

Problem is, after this we really won;t have anything left.

The point being missed is that the fact Flav wanted to remian as a part shareholder is perfect for us. He will have no significant say going forward, yet we will still be able to use him for what he's good at. That being negotiating sponsorshp deals, or attracting more wealthy investors.

People with mittal tinted specs always seem to slate Flav and ignore the fact the it was him that attracted them to QPR and got them involved in the first place. Add to that the deals with Gulf Air and Lotto which are massively inflated by CCC standards, and that is down to Flav and his expertise and contacts in that area.

Of course we would never fall into the JD sports £60k type deal again, but i'm sure nobody would mind his involvement with the club if he secured future lucrative deals.... possibly as a joint PR venture we could sign up with Toyota!!!!!

[James1979]

He's decreased his stake so has less influence. Not really sure what argument is? If he wants to have more influence again, he's got to pay good money for it. Very different from saints situation as wasn't he still major shareholder? No idea who owns ground but we need to move anyway, pretty certain that's in pipeline. Can't we all be happy? Results not been best for few months but whilst others talk of admin, we're talking about bringing players in! Not that long ago after we got big dan, we were placed under transfer embago thanks to noades. How times have changed. Results will come

Pete, you should refrain from these types of posts. One of the administrators might accuse you of pushing peoples buttons.

[conners]

On a serious note though. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

I still believe that our club will be stronger for having all three investors on board. Flavio has many contacts that could be of use to QPR. As long as he is not picking the team I am happy for him to be here.

I would actually go as far to say, that both he and Gianni deserve to be part of any success we have in the future.

[Stanley]

So long as he just has a stake, but not a controlling interest, I'm happy.

[qprdad]

No controlling interest, overall control passed on to Mittals......

This is where it needs to be, not least he's still got the fit and proper test hanging over him!
