QPR - Tony Fernandes

[ToreSF]

I'm absolutley amazed that Tony Fernandes isn't criticized more by the QPR fans. In this he is basically saying QPR is a branding tool for him and his other businesses: http://video.ft.com/v/2147684337001/Asean-progress-provides-a-boost

 

Also, it was him and his board that appointed MH and HR, and gave the go to all their bad signings. Would have hated him if he was here.

Lucky we avoided this joker.

Was he ever interested in us?

I went to the same school as his daughter and him many years earlier. She was a few years below me though and one day when I went back to the school as my brother had won a couple of awards at prize giving, lo and behold the guest speaker was Tony Fernandes. He gave a speech for about 20 minutes or so and it was the most insightful, well constructed, impressive and actually very funny speech I had ever heard. This is why I find it hard to believe that he runs the club in quite the way that he does and flogs twitter so much. I can assure you he's no mug having bought Air Asia for £500,000 by selling his only asset at the time, his house, and turning it into a global leader. But despite all this some of his behaviour is fairly puzzling.
