Ecclestone named new owner of QPR

[Gtleighsr3]

No chopra or kingfisher now then.

Cambs Hoop, that really depends on our league position. Top of the league he is a great guy, reality is if we slip human nature dictates some will find someone to blame and it won't be the manager.

I psoted before Kingfisher was a waste of space in terms of taking investment into the club.

As for Chops, not ruled it out

[WeAreQPR12]

Ok not to worried about Bernie being the major shareholder BUT I don't think I will take much note/interest in what Amit comes out with. Seen him leave with 20mins remaining on quite a few ocassions and this just shows me that the indians are as enthusastic as they play it. Not being rude but I think there ONLY interest is grass roots football in indian NOT queens park rangers. Again some might not like what I said but its true.

Interesting why the Mittals/Bhatia chose not to increase their stake, if they actually had been offered to do so prior to Ecclestone doing so?

[maddix]

Up until now I have always got the impression that Mr Ecclestone was not really that into football...

He's not ..... He now owns 62% of QPR

[qblockpete]

Kirill,

Not sure.

I just think scenes like what happened last season, didn't help at all. They close ranks to any hint of bad media and when you run a football club, never can predict whats going to happen. I guess its a hobby to them, though I am sure Warnock like all fans thought they would take overall control.

One good thing about Bernie is he will trust Warnock to get on with the job, after all he has earned respect by what he has done and I have no question in my mind that bernie would never interfere, only to back the manager on player buys if he requested them

[RobertoQPR]

What happens when he's brown bread? The man is 80 at the moment!

[WeAreQPR12]

Good point Robert however I would hope we are a settled premiership side that will have many investers interested by then. I am not keen on the mittals if i'm being honest.

[Jeffro]

I hope Bernie brings some new players to the table, with Flavio gone and a set of disinterested Mittal's , we need someone to lead us ongoing.

[Chalet1882]

if he owns 62% then he owns the "majority" which means quite alot from my understanding?

any way how nice to read a thread that doesnt look like a thread from a messageboard of a club with relgation wories! yay!

[Ric-Roc]

I am not keen on the mittals if i'm being honest.

Seems they are not too keen on us either. So Amit is just a glorified Paladini then is he?

[QPR1234]

as dave mcintrye says on twitter:

Man 'named' as owner of club he already owned, but wasn't supposed to own as the club had led fans to believe another guy owned it.

fact

[stainrodisalegend]

So that must mean that the Mittel's share holding is also "nominal". But with Bernie owning 62% that still leaves 38%. So do Flavio and Mittels have 19% each? Seems like the Mittels were all talk and no trousers.

BTW, like Bernie's line about it being Neil's job to teach the players how to kick a football. Legs still a work in progress then...

[Olly]

as long as that orange muppet is hanging around the club, there's always a chance of controversy to come. Next year, bernie could sell his shares back again, they're mates aren't they? Don't forget, flavio had his boat impounded for unpaid tax bills, so bernie might just be temporarily helping him out with cash flow problems.
