A dream come true

Yesterday, Shane Richmond came bounding up to me and said: ‘I know you have three blogs already, but how would you like another one?’. ‘What crazy new project is he planning now, I thought. 56 books in a year not good enough for you?‘ But this was an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. The assignment? To write a blog for the Telegraph on what it’s like to be a supporter of the world’s ‘richest club’, Queens Park Rangers. The Rs. The Super Hoops. QPR.

This metric is based on the combined (assumed) wealth of the three investors who have recently acquired control of the club, Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal, not on the state of the balance sheet, which is still threadbare according to some.

The name of the blog is ‘Considerably richer than you’ as suggested by Shane. I’ll be blogging about why we choose that in due course.

Anyway, for the vanishingly small number of people who read my blog and are also interested in QPR, you can check it out here.
