New Board Member and Minority Owner on 16:46 - Feb 11 by QPRSteve
I wonder if this presages a link up with FC Cincinnati?
Indeed. Very interesting. It is the sort of thing that could be a sale of a minority interest with an option to move to control. Think what has been going on with Leeds. Let's see what happens.

Wouldn't it be strange for the board to want to cede control when the promised land is coming into view?

But joking apart, I’ve come across this bloke somewhere, will have a think and get back to you.

I did see that he lives in Boston, so I assumed that you would attend the same charity events etc. Perhaps you can be invited into his executive box for private viewings.
He won't replace you as our number one in Boston though.

Can't see this guy having enough bank, cheddar, dough, whatever you call it to make a serious play unless he will be the face of a consortium. I was just beginning to feel settled with our ownership and their learnings.

Interesting he is from the Boston area but is a minority owner in both the Reds and FC Cincy. FC Cincy while horrible on the pitch since their indoctrination into the MLS, has been very successful on the business ops side of things.
I believe he is probably a pretty small investor in both FCC and the Reds. FCC is controlled by the Lindner family, which is the majority shareholder in Great American Insurance, and owns United Dairy Farmers, amongst other ventures. Wildly wealthy family and is probably the top businessman/powerbroker in the city.
The Reds are owned by a consortium of local business leaders, with the majority owner (Castellini) only owning about 27% of the team, but again is the "majority" shareholder.

Well, it’s not an easy Board to get a seat on so the current investors must see a benefit. It’s a tight group ,so he must have something to offer ,so it’s a a good move for the club. Welcome.

Wishful thinking but hopefully there is some sort of transfer link developing. I watch a bit of MLS and they have a striker called Brenner who is very tidy. He will probably move to a top 10 team eventually though.
He might not have Clive's QPR smarts but got to admire Richards's folicular loss tribute to our Dear Leader's receding hairline. Can you hear the RoR?
