Uncle steps down - Bhatia steps up

[QPR_NW10]

Business acumen lofl. That made me laugh out loud. He’s staying on as shareholder so looks like s step out of the limelight. Wonder how long it will be before he has a few shants and gets on the Twitter

He runs a business and is a self made millionaire. He has got business acumen. Granted we’ve not turn into a “big” club since he arrived but we’ve not died either. He’s been useful for us.

We will have to agree to disagree. I fail to see what he’s been useful for here? He’s thrown the best part of a quarter of a billion quid at a buisiness in qpr and made it worse. He’s overseen this ffp shambles also. He also ruined caterham. Lee hoos, he’s got business acumen. Agreed that Tony must have something about him or he’s got incredibly lucky, I don’t know his history or how he’s made his millions I simply judge him on his time at rangers and that, to put it mildly, has been a ####ing car crash

does this really mean anything beyond who has which title?

does anyone seriously think amit's now calling the shots and that uncle and ruben are just signing the checks?

i've heard claims that amit's previous time in charge was really just window dressing... tango and cash were the ones who allegedly remained in full control.

Fair points in part. Not hear to have a row. But for a club to go up then down then up then down in 4 years we’ve stable the ship. Only have to look down in League 2, or the conference north/south to see clubs we used to play against in a season. The most QPR thing ever was when we were in ruins and sponsored by Selotape. I think the lads done well. (Can’t speak for F1, prefer BTCC)

Fantastic news. Surely the mittals have to have upped their stake. Why would Gnanalingham the major shareholder give someone else free reign to run the club. Ok maybe not free reign but this all seems a bit odd Maybe RG and TF have had enough of the crap from fans(understandably and in some cases warranted) and have effectively walked away from the day to day running but still hold their stake for now. Hopefully now Amit will sanction some good loan signings. I must admit this is all a bit weird all of a sudden.

[upperloft]

why? he has relinquished any decision making responsibility.

Sure he has some sort of say as a big share holder. His advice and ideas are not required.

Love Amit and have a lot of respect for him too.

Just hope this isn't a "in name only appt"
Don't expect him or his family to throw £ about, but I thought he did a decent job last time.
Won't change too much i think.
Against the opinions of some on here i will thank Tony F, he tried but went about it the wrong way.
If it had worked we'd be singing his praises.

Just posted similar, TF has had enough of abuse that is all i think

[shanns]

Amit back on board

Hopefully the QPR escalator is beginning to turn around and start to go upwards again.

Love what Amit says about stability and cutting our cloth accordingly...

It's a new era...

[Hitman34]

This is just what's needed in my opinion. I presume shareholder stakes have not changed?

Nope, bungle is still the owner, while gangoolie is the majority shareholder.

Mr 3% is now chairman.

I guess it’ll be interesting to know the full story one day.

Bhatia has always seemed to be mates with Tony and his family did a deal some years back with Air Asia over in India. But despite his father-in-law’s unimaginable wealth, doesn’t appear to have contributed much financially in recent years.

Makes you wonder if he never wanted to invest any more of their money, or wanted to but others decided against it.

Not necessarily

Fair point. All about opinions and all that. Let’s hope amit can have a really positive impact
