QPR's Briatore Takeover - One Supposedly Involved

-
Mail - QPR fans fearworst if Flavio moves in

The price of Flavio Briatore — of Formula One fame — saving Queens Park Rangers seems likely to be a move from Loftus Road, the club's on-off home since 1917. Sean Mulryan, boss of the Ireland-based Ballymore property development group, is involved in Briatore's international rescue team.
Mulryan was among the Irish businessmen who backed the Drumaville Consortium which installed Niall Quinn as chairman at Sunderland as part of last year's takeover.
Mulryan's interest is said to be in the redevelopment of Loftus Road and the construction of a new stadium. The old Unigate site in nearby Wood Lane remains a possible destination, but Rangers fans fear having to journey further afield to see their team in future. Mail
