More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The epic story of QPR's recent transformation, candidly told by those Rangers fans who watched it all unfold down at their beloved Bush. Hooped Dreams will chart a year full of unrivalled potential for Championship side Queens Park Rangers FC, following the takeover by multimillionaire Flavio Briatore and billionaires Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal. From standing on the brink of bankruptcy, and after a decade of depressing media headlines about huge debts and boardroom rows, the club suddenly found itself among the richest in the world. A dramatic new chapter in its history began - but what would be the outcome of this adventure? The promised land of the Premiership, or a club that loses its local identity? Supporters celebrating a winning side on the pitch, or a loyal fanbase that feels it no longer possesses its club? We talk to people inside the club and fans from all walks of life, well-known and otherwise, as we document a roller-coaster season both on and off the pitch. Head coaches come and go as the new owners, with Renault F1 boss Briatore at the helm, strive to get QPR back to where the fans believe they belong, among football's elite in the Premiership.

You RRRRRRRssss,
By Imelda "Imelda" (a village in Berkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hooped Dreams (Paperback)
As a longstanding QPR fan, I leapt at the chance to read this book. An up-to-date history of my football club makes for fascinating reading because of everything that has happened over the last few years, particularly with the new ownership of Briatore, Ecclestone and Mittal.
Some of the shenanigans that went on behind the scenes are unblievable - except for QPR fans! The book ends with before the recent and very successful appointment of Neil Warnock so I look forward to the next volume. Well worth the outlay for QPR fans and general football/sport fans who are interested in the modern game.
