Here's hoping that all in london will be resolved soon. I am going to london end of week for a big day for me. hope life goes back to normal

Big day = announcement of takeover and Air Asia sponsorship on Saturday?

[Mellowhoop]

Life back to normal??? Tango announces new signing. Lombardo!!!!

[2touch]

Why would the big day be in London? As far as I am aware he is involved in a share swap with another Malaysian airline - so he could mean this being QPR related?

If the deal is not done until the end of the week it means Warno will not be given any new funds - assuming there are any - in time for Saturday's game. A post-ponement could then actually help us.

Big day = maybe he's getting hitched or operated on or something unrelated to QPR. Just a thought.

Could be any other deals not necessarily QPR.

Bang on Youssef!

AirAsia is set to get a slice of Malaysia Airlines the National Flag carrier of Malaysia.

Further developments are expected in a landmark share swap between Malaysia Airlines and low-cost carrier Air Asia.

Major shareholders Khazanah Nasional Bhd (MAS) and Tune Air Sdn Bhd (AirAsia) are reported to be closer to announcing a deal this week which will turn the long-time rivals into partners.

According to sources, Khazanah will acquire a 10% stake in AirAsia from Tune Air, a private group controlled by Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun.

Tune Air could end up with a 20% stake in the Malaysian national carrier.

Khazanah, which has a controlling stake of 69% in MAS, will continue to remain the single largest shareholder in the national airline.

Under the agreement, AirAsia would get two MAS board seats for the CEO and deputy.

Malaysia Airlines have moved quickly to shore up its defences ahead of moves by both Singapore Airlines and Qantas to launch low-cost subsidiaries in Asia.

If, as mooted, AirAsia takes over MAS’s domestic operations, and MAS concentrates on long-haul routes, competition between the two - which to date has driven low fares in the region – may be compromised.

Even so, it is a remarkable deal for Tony Fernandes and Air Asia: from upstart budget airline to partner of the national carrier in just a few years is quite a feat and flies in the face of those who once doubted that low cost carriers had any sort of future.

One to watch eh, let's hope he's able to spend a little down ours eh....

He's not in London for that deal though, he tweeted about that one as well. We'll see I guess.
