Dowie speaks of QPR Striker search:
Sunday Mirror/Rory Smith -Hat-trick hero Billy is razor Sharp
"...[T]he Loftus Road boss insists there is no reason to believe his side cannot justify their status as promotion favourites.
He said: "Let's not overreact to one defeat. We had a mad 20 minutes where we didn't defend set pieces properly, but I felt we came into it more in the second half.
"I've always said we may need a goalscorer, but apart from that I don't see the need to go and panic buy before the end of the transfer window. We have the ability to make the dream come true..." Mirror
QPR and India - The Times August 6, 2008 - English Football clubs woo Bollywood/Anil Sinanan , Times Bollywood Film Critic
After rumours spread that a company run by Indian billionaire Anil Ambani was to take over UK football club Newcastle United last Sunday, Reliance Communications issued a denial. ... Whilst we may have to wait to see if Michael Owen makes his Bollywood debut, other English clubs have been wooing Indian fans via representation in Bollywood films. This is because India represents a significant untapped commercial market for football.
In last year’s Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Abhishek Bachchan kept declaring that he was an ardent Chelsea FC fan. Hunky John Abraham’s footie flick Goal featured a key sequence filmed at Manchester United FC grounds. United’s chief executive David Gill confirms: “India is interesting. We would not rule out going there.” Tottenham Hotspur, John Abraham’s team, held discussions earlier this year about playing a friendly, while Everton already run coaching schemes in India.
London club Queens Park Rangers may be next, especially as Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal owns a 20 per cent stake in the club. Amit Bhatia, vice-chairman of QPR and son-in-law of ‘the steel King’ Mittal confirmed: “Most definitely we want to take the club to India. QPR’s profile is getting bigger because there are Indian shareholders.” ... The Times|
