Bhatia - QPR owners have a limit

Image: Briatore: Will spend wisely

Amit Bhatia insists there is a limit to how much money QPR's multi-millionaire owners will invest.

Vice-chairman vows to spend money wisely

Amit Bhatia insists there is a limit to how much money Queens Park Rangers' multi-millionaire owners will invest in the club. Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal have all injected cash into the Championship club with a view to taking QPR back into the Premier League. QPR Holding Limited's vice-chairman Bhatia is confident that Briatore and Ecclestone can help to realise the club's dream of top-flight football. But Bhatia also acknowledged that the new owners will not lavishly throw away money in pursuit of trying to match West London rivals Chelsea. "We didn't get involved in any of this to be second best, so we hope we are going to make it to the Premiership and, after that, the Champions League and who knows?" Bhatia told Sky Sports.

Committed

"We are committed to backing this club for however long it takes. We're involved with the best people with Flavio and Bernie, and we have a tremendous amount of respect for everybody involved here. "These two gentlemen know the business of sport. We'll spend money and it will require money to get to where we want to go, and we will spend it wisely. "Is there a limit? Yes, with everything there is a limit. "Are we willing to spend wisely and take the club to where it wants to go? Yes, absolutely. So the financial investment will come in, as results come in, as and when it's needed. "I think we will compete with Chelsea in the near future."
