poor poor birmingham! i wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy!

This is one of those spoof newspaper websites, right? Right?!?!?

I think brum fans will embrace the boutique idea, and forking out 50 quid when teams like derby are in town.

Great, there's no need to worry about them coming up in the near future

[Tarbie]

Very bad news for the Birmingham fans, I genuinely do feel sorry for them. Briatore shouldn't be allowed within 5 miles of a football club, let alone be allowed to run one again!

[Busheyboy]

can't wait to see the BBC's version of their 5 year plan

If I was a Brum Blues fan I wouldn't want Tango & cash anywhere near my club?

[Busheyboy]

also not sure if Naomi Campbell and Tamara what's her name will like it up there!!

It makes an utter mockery of the 'fit and proper person' test.

Worse still that their current owner is a convicted money-launderer.

Birds of a feather flock together

Poor sods
They will buy players they've never heard of (ugo ukah) or old players way past their best (sturridge)
They should protest against these clowns taking over as soon as possible

Bye bye Birmingham.......

Both those players were signed long before Briatore came to QPR!

I doubt this is true because Flavio bought QPR with the idea of QPR being in West London & to make it a boutique club, some laughed at that but it's a very good idea as Tony has carried it on but in the right way.

Basiclly QPR is West London, Birmingham is the midlands. I don't see this happening but tbh i'd like to see it happen for a laugh. Feel sorry for their fans though
