    Fifth-richest man in the world set to buy into Queens Park Rangers

    Fifth-richest man in the world set to buy into Queens Park Rangers

    Multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal — the world's fifth-richest man — is to become a director of QPR.

    The London-based Indian steel magnate, a friend of the club's coowner Bernie Ecclestone, is ready to pour some of his estimated £26billion fortune into the Championship club.

    A QPR source said: 'The club heard Mittal had been interested in Wigan and Everton, but this is a lot closer to home for him.'

    QPR have failed to sign Sheffield Wednesday duo Tommy Spurr and Jermaine Johnson.

    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

      Imagine the headlines....

      Everton in £80m Kaka coup, or even worse, Everton signs the best young player on the planet, Aguero for £22m.

              It'll be a "who's got the richest owner" contest.

              Totally pointless.

                          So now QPR have 3 directors (bernie, flavio & lakshmi) each whom are considerably richer than our 2 new owners. How have qpr managed to get these 3 in whereas we took years to end up with the 2 relative paupers we have now!

                            I presume because none of them are very interested in taking over a successful club and want to grow a plaything where they will be loved as the people who turned it round. I also think a London location helps a lot with this sort of thing.
