Hoops fans love Bhatia but we may be too low brow and too far from London, I wonder if KC knows him!
No, QPR are raising their ticket prices up to 40% he disagreed and therefore left.CountHermanDeBanker wrote:Dinky Diamond wrote:Good shout, Mr Bhatia of the Mittal Family has resigned today mostly down to the 40% increase in prices, also heard that Ancellotti may surface their later this year!

40% increase in prices? Do you mean overheads? The payouts to players, salaries and bonuses will of course increase the club costs by being in the Premiership, but I hardly think a guy who is worth some £20+ BILLION pounds is going to really notice 4-500 million in the next 5 years trying to play with the big boys!!
I suspect some other motive is behind his departure - ie - Flavio and Bernie wanting to run the club themselves and priced the shares to highly for Mr Bhatia to warrant his continued interest - I know he was looking to take sole ownership of the club himself a couple of months back.
Or he has driven through the lovely Northamptonshire countryside, stopped off at Stanwick Lakes for a stretch and saw a magnificent stadium in the heart of rural England, fell in love with the place and sorry QPR, but there was just no competition.......PMSLROTF
It's more than 40% in some cases. I think it was 45-70%HiHoRushden&Diamonds wrote:No, QPR are raising their ticket prices up to 40% he disagreed and therefore left.CountHermanDeBanker wrote:Dinky Diamond wrote:Good shout, Mr Bhatia of the Mittal Family has resigned today mostly down to the 40% increase in prices, also heard that Ancellotti may surface their later this year!

Disgraceful. I'd be inclined to bugger off and support another lower league club.Diamond Warrior wrote:Just had a quick look.
Cheapest adult ticket for next season is £47. Season ticket prices have gone up 40% - but because they will play fewer games in the Premiership than they did in the Championship, the real rise is 67%. The cheapest adult season ticket is £549 - leading up to £999!
