QPR - new addition to the big 4 in 3/4 years ?

Lakshmi Mittal (5th richest man in the world - makes RA look like a pauper)

has just bought a 20% stake in the club, if he invests even a tiny bit of what he could potentially, this club will be in the Premiership in a very short space of time.

They'll be in the Premiership next season if they go about it the right way. And someone will break the top four this season, I reckon.

Well they actually have a lot of fans. So it could work for them, but it would take 5 years for them to be in with the top 4. You don't get the best players just by having money.

They *potentially* don't just have money though, they could potentially have the most obscene amount of money in the football world that would dwarf even what Chelsea have.

14 points off the play-offs. They could go up this season if they did throw money around like they can.

Still its a bit difficult to attract top players , Chelsea whatever they were were hanging top 4 in the prem and giving cup finals.

Brilliant news. I'm keeping an eye out for their results at the moment as my new flat is literally within 5 minutes walk of Loftus Road. Would be fantastic if they were to return to the top flight.

They've never been able to attract THAT big a crowd, 20,000 or so when in the EPL, but their fanbase is potentially huge as their the only big club between Chelsea-Fulham and Watford. This gives them a spatial monopoly over areas like Brent and Wembley

Once had a trial with them. Would be good to see another London side in the Prem.

Yeh, 5 for 7 million people. That would be like the whole of the north east and a bit having just one EPL club, so like next season

As long as it's us i don't care.

Btw i just had a look at the population of that place called "Brent", it has a population bigger than that of Newcastle, QPR should have a massive fan base.

Not enough says I. Hopefully Charlton come back as well.

Tried to sell QPR to Toon, who was looking for a new club. Well it's too late for him to join now, otherwise he'ld be a glory hunter. Milan watch your ass, QPR are back.

They probably do. In the EPL they used to fill the stadium. Not sure what attendances they get now, but they're pretty shite at the moment. I'm definately going to catch a few games when I move though.

Yeh, Brent AND Wembley should be supporting them, but most are gloryhunters (or TS)

Most are likely to be Chelsea fans now. I like QPR, but only where they are now.

Don't particularly like QPR, but as long as nobody with a large disposable income buys pikey-infested Millwall, I don't particularly care. Having Fulham, Millwall and QPR in the Prem would massively hinder the popularity of the Prem.

Has Mittal actually visited Hammersmith and Fulham? Poor rich man's Chelsea.

I don't mind QPR...would like them back in the Premiership...

Always been a fan of their kits...

Will never forgive them for groundsharing with Fulham

I like Fulham too...the only other Premiership team I actually like.

Come On The Fulham

Chelsea is full of twats though. If you walk around all you see if posh bitches that don't work and fill the day with beauticians and stylists.

Nice kit indeed. They used to have a great for other teams unplayable plastic pitch. Think they were the first club to have one.

...along with Oldham, Preston (?) and Luton

Can't think of any others over here.

And if you walk round Islington you see black gangs fighting each other every day, opting against an education.
