briatore holds the majority so he will buy all his shares.

briatore holds the majority so he will buy all his shares.

Not sure I follow that. The FL F&P rules only apply to shareholders with 30% or more. So if they deem Briatore not to be fit and proper, he'd only be obliged to reduce his stake to 29.9%. Whether he'd want to be a minority shareholder is a different issue.

Well I was listening to R4 this morning, and the only mention I heard was the report that Mittal was top of the rich list.

You listen to R4

WTF is wrong with Radio 4 ?

Let me guess, you like MTV :shudder:

[Captain Clunge]

Always listen to The Today Programme in the morning. Nothing wrong with that. You should try it, you might learn something.

Captain I would give up on Pete.
He has lost the plot completely.
All he goes on about is Borrowdale being a great player, when clearly he is not oh and he is very anti QPR fans. Any little chance to have a pop at us the loyal fans. The interview he did with Tarrabt was an absolute disgrace. He has certainly lost my respect.

nope, football league rules state that any director or shareholder banned from another sport will be automatically banned from ANY involvement...

as for mocking those who might be intelligent enough to understand R4, it pretty much sums this place up to be fair....i highly doubt most of the admin here understand anything more intellectual than Page 3

Not knocking what people are saying but thinking logicaly
1. The price of shares will be more negocialble if the ruling goes against Flav, so why buy now?
2. If Flav thinks his goose is cooked and has sold, there would be no need for the FL meeting to take place at this time.

My feeling then is that a price has been pre agreed should the meeting go against Flav between himself and Mittel, this though to me would indicate there is strong intrest from elsewhere? Mittel would avoid a bidding war and Flav would get a better price, so to me that would make good busness sense to both parties.

Not correct. FL rules state:

"The new rules will make it a breach of FL regulations for the following to be a director or hold a majority interest in a FL club:

Anyone subject to a ban from a Sports Governing Body relating to the administration of that sport"

So the FL can stop Flav being a director and they can stop him being a majority shareholder. They cannot stop him from being a minority shareholder.
