| OOC is OFF but a new stadium isn't 22:15 - Mar 28 with 21939 views | W5R |
There was a meeting a few days ago I learnt this evening. OOC is looking highly unlikely so the club have requested to look at the land opposite Diageo..pizza hut, cinema, where Zenith was etc and also in Greenford (Glaxo etc)
Warren Farm looks shaky but the council is still hopeful of something.
"Sauce" Ealing councillors, Ealing MPs, Ealing prospective MPs and the Labour candidate for Mayor of London.
Personally be fine with the Park Royal site..less of sh*t hole than OOC and well, we did use to play there. | | | |  |

My Dad says that apart from a letter that went out near to ShareHolders when TF took over, they haven't had any communications in the last two or so years. | | | |

If Mittal has reduced his shareholding then who can blame him. There have been rumours on this messageboard in the past that he was alarmed at our transfer policy.
Why should he pump money into the club if his hands are tied at board level and the club adopts a crazy transfer policy?
He tried to buy the club lock, stock and barrel for a reasonable amount then Tune Group came along just before the transfer window shut and offered over the odds for a club that was a dead cert for relegation with no training ground, an outdated stadium, crap academy etc. Mittal didn't get to being a multi billionaire by being naive.
What is Fernandes going to do if OOC fails, is he going to bankroll a new stadium, will they build flats on Loftus Rd to pay for it, who knows? We have major unanswered questions hanging over the club, which seems odd for a chairman who is seen by the fans as being transparent and open. | | | |

Not sure what relevance pointing out that TF is comfortably the wealthiest member of the Tune Group has to do with your initial question. | | | |

Interesting review but in my experience it all comes down to deal that can be made. This re-generation project will cost billions and from a pure property perspective the yields could be very high . Forget about £200M here or there this businees proposition could seriously be in the multi-billions bracket. Make that work and you could produce a tidy sum to fund a football club. I would fully expect TF and his partners to be "bullying" to get a seat at the table. Let's see what develops if you pardon the pun. | | | |

It smacks of Pride Park all over again. Derby we're going to go, then they weren't, then they were, then they weren't. Although PP was mostly contaminated railway land, there wasn't a major private landowner with their own plans.
From a Gtr Londondon perspective, a stadium could act as a catalyst for wider regeneration. But QPRs tactics don't seem the best. | |
