Mittals.....

[RamseyR]

Off course he shouldn't but anyone with half a brain should have taken it with a pinch of salt. Instead supporters keep recycling this comment to beat Briatore over the head with.

Thank god for common sense!

[RamseyR]

Manure and Arsenal make a profit. Probably others too.

Because they have supporters across the world. We only have a few stragglers in the shires and a small percentage of a very small part of west london.

Do you not understand basic economics. Get a grip!

did they always have all these supporters? no

the used there performances on the pitch to target these areas. there marketing is exellent.

thats why we are a "project".

Spot on. We will not make a profit, nowhere near big enough fan base

[Sam-QPR]

so a fan base cannot increase.

did chelsea have the fanbase they have now 10 years ago?

[Stanley]

Im with Sam on this.

It seems some people dont want to see a possible bigger/brighter future and then have to resort to personal insults.

Besides it simply isnt true that our only support is in the shires and west London.

Remove your blinkers Ramsey

Small acorns....

W12Ranger. I think most QPR fans that keep mentioning the 4 year plan and champions league etc aren't so silly to think they meant it, or realised soon after that they didn't.

They keep bringing it up as they know our owners shouldn't have really said it, they also know we shouldn't be being charged the champions league prices we are currently paying to watch championship football.

Like you I don't think much will happen in the future, we may flirt with promotion and even get it but I don't think we will spend long in the prem, let alone play champions league. Different people have different ways of dealing with the "let down", let's let them have theirs and we can relax in the knowledge that if we happen to get to the prem we won't have seen it coming

Rich I agree with all that, but why do our supporters feeel the need to continuosly beat the same drum. Move on from the stupid 'Champions League comment', except that if we are to get out of the CCC we are going to have to charge PL prices to cover players wages on our crowds and get your head out of the clouds and stop dreaming of multi million pound transfers because it is never going to happen.

Then start to think outsdie of the box and ask yourself who owns the ground and why they do.

Ask yourself who wants to buy the BBC plot.

Then considered why there is talk of relocating the residents of White City to Northholt / Greenford areas when the Tories come into government.

I'd like to think the Mittals and BE don't have another agenda but I find it difficult not too.

If the Mittals wanted it that bad they would have done something a long time ago, for all his faults Briatore has been the most committed to the cause and I won't be part of this witch hunt.

We can all dream but better to keep our feet on the ground, this club is moving in the right direction yet some people are never happy.

If the Mittals do take control how long will it be before we are screaming at them to spend some money, reduce ticket prices and buy a left back.

[shania]

the fans and the board have two different objectives. we want promotion they wan't to earn money. of course they are not going to throw money around. they have not got where they are today by doing that. we may not like it but thats how it is

I disagree. No clever businessman in fotball gets involved due to profit.:red_heart::red_heart::embarrassed:

[superhoop67]

In the sixties Chelsea used to pull in 50,000 regular , we used to pull in 8,000 that is were Fan base comes from not 10 years ago

Not quite true. We were averaging 25,000 in the mid-70s.

don't get me wrong making money in football is very hard. but it can be done.

the way you promote your club is the key. different partnerships etc

we have to raise our profile

flavio briatore does not care about us individually. he doesn't care who pays the entrance fee as long as there is somone there whether they have been a fan for 4 minutes or 40 years. he is profit driven. thats why money wont be splashed around

how about in china, japan or usa. they are all part of there fanbase. that is where trhe big money is made and not from 50,000 in a stadium.

[superhoop67]

did i mention the mid 70's

[Stanley]

You mentioned Chelsea in the 60's.

[Quaz]

1 million to them is nothing. All I am saying Flavio has promised a lot on the pitch and so far he hasnt really delivered

1 million is nothing....i bet you 90% of billionaires remember when they made their first million.........how naive to think 1 million is nothing just because the bloke has billions.........ok say 1 is nothing....when do you stop saying 1 is nothing?
