There have been various changes in the Board of Directors of both QPR Holdings and QPR Football and Athletic Club.
Ecclestone’s inclusion on both boards shows his increased influence as the majority stakeholder in the Club. Whilst Briatore remains a director, the removal of his associates Michel and Rapini reflect the fact that his stake in the Club is now nominal. Bhatia’s inclusion on the Board of the Football and Athletic Club is in line with his recent statement that his family have a continued interest in maintaining their stake in the Club. The termination of Paladini’s directorship of QPR Holdings suggests he will play a less direct role in the business side of QPR. Ali Russell’s exit reflects his decision to move onto pastures new.
