He sounds like a hustler. Private banker turned investment banker and married into money. His success as an investment banker was probably tied to his in-laws propping him up with millions for investment. Now he’s brought others in with real money and probably gets a percentage of the club for his hustling. If I were the owners I’d stay well away from this type, he’s here just to make money off the back of the club. My bet is this is all paper talk.

Read somewhere they want to include Jeff Bezos somehow too.

Bringing in a significant minority shareholder, Mittal and Bezos, two of the world's richest families yet Edwards and Hughes are leaving?
How unprofessional is that.... Instead of being a picture of confidence and stability two of the top three executives (and Werner is now less involved) are bailing and we have a new manager who must be wondering where the transfer strategy is coming from. Not very good optics.

Wouldn't want Bezos anywhere near us tbh. That Bhatia fella is at QPR 18 years and has brought them nowhere. Hard to see what value he will add to us. He has resigned from QPR so this must be close to happening.  Henry and Werner are in the twilight years so this is probably just the start of them selling off percentages here and there. If this crowd get 30% they will be in pole position when the time comes.

Edwards already gone and while Hughes departure isnt confirmed it is expected he will go at the end of the window. We just have to hope he's working on a few deals before then.

At the end of the day our owners are getting old and they’ve owned us 16 years and at some point there will be a change of ownership. They bought the club in 2010 for 300m and the club is now worth 4.5 billion and in a much better situation and they won everything they could, they will cash out at some point. We got lucky with them and I hope we get lucky with the next owners.
