Have been out tonight and read through page after page of anger, some of it hysterical.
I share the disappointment of fans that the Mittels haven't taken over. But can I just (tin had time) make a few points:
1) Everyone seems to think it is nailed on Warnock will go. Ecclestone has already said Warnock's job is 100% guaranteed. Yes we all know Tango man's potential to cause mayhem but it hasn't happened yet so let us not jump to conclusions. As a business we are a little less piddly than we were and Bernie is unlikely to let Flavio run wild as before.
2) Amit has stepped down from the board but the Mittels still own a third of the shares. Something tells me we haven't heard the last of this negotiation. I said all along but no one would listen there was never going to be a resolution to this boardroom wrangle in a couple of days.
3) As I understand it Ecclestone and even Flavio were putting up a lot of money for transfers etc so not sure that this will necessarily hit budgets.
4) Re season tickets it was widely reported last week that prices would go up by 35%. OK, so now its 40% which is a lot but what were you expecting: I for one was always expecting something at least in this ball park (ie up by at least a quarter).
5) For all the frustrations of Bernie and Flavio thanks primarily to them we are in a hugely better place than we were.
Lets just be calm and see what happens. I'm far from optimistic and think it could well unravel but so far we simply don't know. And it wouldn't be QPR if it all went smoothly...
