In malaysia everyone wants to pound him to a pulp.
He is the RyanAir of the 2nd world and less popular than their gaffer. Any publication saying different everyone ignores.
No..have heard this from a very reliable source.
Long live Amit and ling live Ruben...the men that forced him to sack Hughes.

Could be a good thing if true.
Last time Amit was involved properly, we seemed to make sensible, grounded decisions and got promoted.
TF on the other hand seems to make a number of terrible, bone headed decisions as chairman - but then again he is only the public face of the board, rather than the actual decision maker? |  | | |

To be honest Ruben and Amit really do know what they have been doing. Tony appears to be happy with his financial interest in the club and perhaps has realised that if you run 2 airlines, and particularly when Malaysian Airlines are in a terrible place (with Asia being the only trusted airline now in the region) that running that is as much as you can do. If he is stepping aside to let Amit and Ruben in to manage things as he says, then that is probably the best single move he has made for the club since buying it.
It is easy to have a right go at Tony but ultimately if Amit and Ruben are coming back in to run it all then Tony has made a good decision for the club's future and realised that in this life you simply can't be all things to all people. I think he has a genuine love for the club and wants it to succeed but has spread himself far too thin. So admitting that and holding his hands up to Amit and Ruben and saying help is a good thing. We know whatever happens to the club that Ruben and Amit are very very switched on and passionate. [Post edited 26 Nov 2014 17:09]

A very simplistic view.
You imply that Rueben and Amit have just let Tony do what he wants, despite a fair chunk of the money he has spent being theirs?! | | | |

Lovely sentiment.
Worst chairman in my living history (i'm 40). Due to great PR people give him the benefit of the doubt. He employed the SAME tactics as Paladini re getting people onside, freebies, popping to the pub. Difference is this time is that different people fell for it.
Took the fanbase not on Paladinis side and got them to love him. He never reached out, not invited the LSA to a thing, focused on "the other side"
Congrats..managed to keep a divided fanbase.

Talk to Amit privately (ok just collar him when he has had a beer) and he is an exceedingly frustrated silent partner re HIS club. | | | |

First of all, I don't remember seeing posts from W5R on this forum before. All of a sudden he pops up to tell us that our Chairman has been forced out and I am supposed to take that seriously? Why? In my experience, if someone's first post is something dramatic like this, they are probably a troublemaker. It has long been a given that if your first post doesn't mention your favourite cheese, then you probably are a troll.
Secondly, how could this possibly be good news? The last thing we need as a club is the distraction of boardroom wars. The next few games will be make or break and we need everyone focussed on winning games, not looking over their shoulder and fending off tabloid media.
I remember QPR fans calling for Jim Gregory's head and cheering when he left. I remember QPR fans calling for Thompson's head and cheering when he left. I remember QPR fans calling for Wright's head and cheering when he left. I even remember QPR fans calling for BP's head and cheering when he left. If Amit becomes chiarman it'll only be a matter of time before QPR fans will be calling for his head. |  |

Im not a fan of "uncle Tone" and have been very critical in how he has run things
but im the same age as you and he is far from being the worst chairmen we have had
you cannot have forgotten these shysters
Chris Wright, - the Wimbledon merger, stock exchange, not buying the land behind the school end, Admin, the Vinnie jones contract (making him boss after harford) make him by & far the worst we have had
David Bulstrode is another , Fulham Park Rangers !!!
good old Dickie Thompson- Asset stripped the club when we were an Alex Rae, Stan collymore, ian bishop signing away from properly challenging for the title ,
we didn't and sold Parker, Sinton, Peacock, Wegerle, Sir Les
Gianni Paladini- what can you say that hasn't already been said, but the one that does it for me is the way he shafted Holloway and in that we lost our spark until Warnock ,
Briatore- he hated us fans, he gave us paul hart & Dowie , increased season tickets , took away the members bar in the SAR (kunt) , made us a laughing stock, & then when it did come alright on the night we didn't even get a championship winning parade |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Think he has spread himself too thinly. The two Malaysia plane disasters this year must have put terrible pressure on Air Asia, in pretty unique circumstances.
Fernandes I think has often been an assett at times to the Club, but ultimately Amits put down of GP and returning to seize control again after being pushed out, lead to our first Promotion through great guidance.
Whether we stay up? I think it's too late already. |  | | |

Yes, we should question the replacement set up but we should be happy and celebrating him not having his fingers in our pie. 1/4 Billion in debt with nothing to show for it.

Also to add Fernandes owns about 20% of the club, with his two other partners also having a similar amount (all be it in the same vehicle) and the Mittals the largest individual share according to the last accounts all directors loans were evenly made.
I see no surprise if Air Asia X has issues that he is going to focus on that, its the cash cow of his business empire and clearly its a volatile market place at the moment. | | | |

in response to a letter i sent in , peter ellis rung me up at work once and i was ripped to the tits and told him to 'fu ck off lord charles '
he never rang back, damn his impertinence .
gottle of gear.
when richard thompson was on the brink i also had a double page spread in the center pages of 'a kick u the r's' fanzine , that dave thomas said spoke for a generaton and thousands of qpr fans.
i like to think i played a major part in his downfall ..more likely he used it to knock one out over one of his harsh cashflow projections.
i also rang up dave once when he was in the middle of a bunk up, but i digress. [Post edited 26 Nov 2014 17:38]

There is a difference between Air Asia and Air Asia X. The latter might as well be bankrupt. Air Asia is the cash cow (struggling a tad but alive and ticking).
Air Asia X has had to have been bailed out due to the various financial ties. (virtually every tune group company is on the malaysian stock exchange)
Methinks this is Ruben getting his own back for mismanagement by Fernandes. The umbrella corporation is modeled on Virgin to an extent. The umbrella is suffering..time for him to sort the bits and bobs he messed up it seems? Or as he is majority owner in Air Asia are the powers that be kicked him to the curb???
Not that 80% of Virgin brands are owned by RB anymore (but thats another story)
From going thru the stock exchanges I am a lot more confident in Rubens long term prospects than I am TFs. He is leaking 10 x a day what he is leaking elsewhere. | | | |

I am worried about our debt - although the vast bulk of it is not bank debt - and I am getting increasingly narked that nothing is happening on the new training ground/new stadium front BUT it costs a lot of wedge to just stand stand still in football today.
For all the negatives under Tony's rule, we are still - currently - in the division.
He deserves some credit for that.

I was happy when Thompson left and relieved when Wright left. I was wrong both times. Each time, things only got worse. I was an impatient kid back then and the perspective of 40 years a fan have made me able to see that chasing away chairmen or managers every time things go south is short-termist and never in the long-term interests of the club.
Thompson's departure led to Wright's tenure. Wright took us from a top London club to a disaster. But when he left, with nothing but debt, it didn't get any better. We spirallled down to the third division and have never really recovered. That will take us 5-10 years of stability to get our feet back under us and chasing away another chairman just leaves us back at square one. | |
