permie and no money dont combine very well

[qblockpete]

Wea re getting 3-4 players in, always maintained that.

They are loans with view to permies

Would imagine if we went up it would.
And how many times so a deal where it's says with a view to permie and player didn't sign?

[W12_Ranger]

The one thing that would concern me most about this rumour is that it suggests we are a selling club.

As with every player we have loaned.

I know these players signed after a "view to perm "loan period

Gorkks
Mahon
Helgusson
Borrowdale
Routledge
Cook
Buzz
Ephraim
Vine

There is probably a few more i've missed

[writtler]

Some of those were to get round the transfer window - i.e. loan with a g'teed perm rather than just a view to perm.

Fair comment, but surely if they failed to impress then they would of not been taken on permanently or was that always "the deal" that they would be signed regardless?

[eghamhoop]

And these didn't
Watson
Williams twice
Reid

[Youvebeenrangered]

What a load of tosh our club is! NO MONEY! I too am gonna give up going soon.

[Youvebeenrangered]

Also! I would just like to add its a complete joke, ive never known a club to rely on loans so much! Talk about doing it on the cheap!!!

The latter.

I am curious to know just how interested Mittal and Ecclestone are in co-owning QPR.

Last I read. Mittal was worth £20 Billion (that's 20,000 Million) and Ecclestone was worth more than £1.5B.

I am not saying that they should spend shedloads, but seriously £10M-20M from 20,000 is hardly going to break Mittal is it?

Did they buy into QPR just so that they could get publicity or becuase they were interested in owning a successful football club?

If it's the latter, it is time to invest in a proper manager (with no Sporting Director or Chairman to interfere) and give him a proper budget to buy (not loan) players to win promotion.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's actually 2,000 million, as in the US billion.

As for their motivations and intentions, at the end of the day, they're minority shareholders, with little influence on what actually happens, hence their possible reluctance to invest. Neither LM/AB or BE are shy when it comes to investing in something that will give them personally a return. But this is obviously the FB/GP show, so dont expect any brash gestures of oppulance in the near future from our really wealthy minority shareholders.
