Formula One boss also targets the Premier League
Flavio Briatore feels Queens Park Rangers could have gone out of business without his input and aims to restore the club to the Premier League in four years.
The Renault Formula One boss, along with Bernie Ecclestone, has had a takeover offer recommended by the board and has grand plans for QPR.
But Briatore believes that, without the sudden cash injection, the Championship side may have ceased to exist.
"We have already taken the first good step, because the club is still here," Briatore told the club's official website.
"I am very sure that, without our involvement, QPR would not exist this week.
Serious
"We know what we need to do to be competitive. We are involved because we are serious. I didn't do this because I have nothing to do on a Saturday.
"We have already saved the club, and that is a good way for us to introduce ourselves to fans."
Meanwhile, Briatore confirmed his intention to take QPR back into the top flight, where the club last played in 1996.
He added: "We have put together a programme to reach the Premier League in four years.
"Whenever Bernie and I have set a target, it has been reached, and I see no reason why it will not happen this time, too. I want everyone to be proud of QPR."
