ExiledAjax Posted Tuesday at 14:40 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:40 (edited) Well he was struggling to raise the cash for Palace, and was structuring that all through debt, but was reluctant to actually give his co-investors proper security over their lending or control over the eventual asset. So on that basis no thanks, I'd like an owner who puts his own money in and actually has to account to co-investors. Secondly, whoever he buys is immediately going to be part of the group listed in the NYSE. I'm again not too sure if like us to be part of that. Thirdly, he was raising (and struggling to raise) £200m for Everton...which is reportedly the price we're up for. So we are top, top budget if it is us. Fourthly, he still needs to sell Palace, which he was struggling to do. He can chat all he wants but until he finds someone to buy his Palace shares he's buying no one.

The thing with QPR is the brick wall Fernandes hit - they've got a small stadium and have struggled to find a site to build a larger one. Plus they're increasingly crowded out with Brentford doing well as well as Fulham and Chelsea in the catchment area. I get the appeal of a London club but I think QPR is a much less promising investment than it would initially appear. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be safe with SL and the Sporting Quarter again we should see as good and praiseworthy, grateful even perhaps. The more Income Streams the more we can invest...albeit also the more Income Streams the closer to self-suifficency that we maybe. I digress.. *Championship solidity *Relatively young squad *Potential for an entertaining style of play. *Competitive Academy *Ownership that won't risk financial strife (surely not after recent times). Not a bad place to be but could it be better by redeploying Tinnion and Jon Lansdown, getting in a dedicated CEO and Established Technical Director, maybe moving Marshall more to Group etc. Again cost permitting but a serious play for Category One within the next 5 years maybe? These are just ideas to improve on what we have.. we're reasonable, question is are we striving enough at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
