Does Briatore still own shares in QPR?

[irememberlesley]

If not, how does he still have a say?

[QPROslo]

5% or thereabout.

It is thought to be Bernie 62%, Mittal 33% and Flavio 5%, save for some tiny shareholding of others.

Why does he have such a say on such a small %?

According to wiki, Paladini owns 14% - is that out of date?

Always thought Mittal owns 20?

My theory is that they are Flavio's shares in Bernies name, what other reason could there be?

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Flabio sold all but 10% of his shares to BE but with a clause stating he had first refusal on them should BE decide to sell. FB is still on the board and therefore still has a say. With Amit and Co no longer represented at board level and BE not really that interested FB is in day to day control of the club although most things are handled by GP!

He owns the ground and a fair bit of the directors loans

Totally agree, i think it's about 5% although i think Bernie probably let's him run the show as he knows **** all about football, bad decision imo.

Probably get better odds on surviving on the titanic.

I am still not sure why Tango has 1st refusal, but perhaps he has some dirt on Cash and is using is as leverage.

But I do agree that Cash knows very little about football, even less than Tango, and doesn't have enough time to deal with things. Which means Tango and the dumb waiter, who thinks ignoring official letters is best practice, will be ruining (running) the club.

Briatore is back in charge, Big Bernie is just a figure head for the club.
