Flavio Briatore buys football club - confirmed
A matter of days after the west London football club denied the story,
it now appears certain that Renault boss Flavio Briatore has bought
Queens Park Rangers.
Widespread reports last week said the 57-year-old Italian was in talks
about a $50m deal.
British tabloid The Sun on Friday quotes QPR chairman Gianni Paladini
and a spokesman for Briatore as confirming the news, with the deal set
to be completed early next week.
"It's a dream come true for QPR fans and saves this club from
liquidation," Paladini said.
"Mr Briatore wants to do for QPR what Mohamed Fayed has for Fulham and
turn us into a Premier League club."
Briatore's spokesman said: "Mr Briatore is looking forward to being
involved with English football.
"QPR is a club with a rich history and fine future now."
