Brief Cutting Apraisal of The New QPR

-
The Times/Martin Samuels - "...Reluctant billionaires
The Formula One consortium that owns Queens Park Rangers contains some of sport’s richest men, we are regularly told. Among them, it is now rumoured, is Vijay Mallya, described, like the rest, as a free-spending billionaire. The trouble is, from the somewhat earthbound appointment of Iain Dowie onwards, there remains little sign of any of them wanting to spend very freely at Loftus Road. Roman Abramovich: now that is what you call a free-spending billionaire." The Times

And various papers say QPR are one of the clubs pursing "Nottingham Forest midfielder Sammy Clingan who is available on a free transfer" (Not on the face of it, "a Wow!" but who knows.) - BBC Gossip
