Steak house and tango man-Ecclestone lack of interest in QPR

[stainrodisalegend]

On report's site two quite interesting snippets. One an interview with Bernie in the Guardian saying that he is looking to increase his involvement in QPR; the other a fan's chat with Briatorie at an airport in which he is quoted as saying he and Bernie still own 70 per cent, that he appointed the chief exec and that he has no interest in selling (oh and that Faurlin is playing tonight, though hopefully not because he has just penned his name on the team-sheet...).

Is this these guys just stalling knowing their shareholding will increase in value if it looks like we will land promotion; or might it actually be true????

"It's something I got involved in," he sighs, "not out of choice. I'm probably going to be even more involved shortly. It's a task that needs getting on with."

Does he have any enthusiasm for QPR? "Not at all. Of course I can pull out – but there are lots of things that could and should be done there. It's mainly commercial things and for me to see if we can get that working better. Once you get me involved that's it. I'm there."

And QPR are top of the Championship. "Yeah, it's good. Super, super, super. We can only go down from here."

They might go up first, to the Premier League, before going down again. Ecclestone almost smiles again. "Half the people who get involved in football do it only to satisfy their ego. I suppose we all
