Maybe a ground share, or just somewhere to hide some losses |  |

Now we can have two poorly run football clubs instead of one. Exciting times. |  | | |

Retiring to the beach before you're 30.
Nice! |  |

I wonder what fans of CCM think about this? Seems they have had their fair share of ownership issues.

They sound as fed up as we are. We'll get on well! | | | |

Very worried about this.
The details will be vital, but would be totally opposed to one club owning or investing in another.
That's club-killing. |  |

This comes up every international window.
Every time it cites @marcothejourno as the source.
And yet there's never anything about QPR on the @marcothejourno timeline.
Someone's bored :-) |  | | |

We'll need confirmation and a LOT more clear detail (...) - but is this sort-of-similar to the Watford model, with us in the Udinese role? That goes well.... | | | |

Thanks for background, Kensal.

Unfortunately 'Marco the journo' is an actual Australian sports journalist rather than a kid on Twitter.
The whole things makes me very very uneasy, as I've said before. Multi club ownership, hierarchies of clubs, big groups. I want our uniqueness as a club and as a fanbase to be our thing. |  |

One of my tasks at work over the past year has been tracking multi-club ownership structures and I have to say the majority of people have no idea just how widespread the practice is. Every single week more people, holding companies etc are buying up small clubs and bringing them into their 'families'. All with the aim of replicating what the City Group have done. It's absolutely rife. |  |

Marco 'the journo' Monteverde is an Australian sports journalist.
My point is that I can't find anything Marco Monteverde has written linking QPR to Central Coast Mariners.
Back in January Vince Rugari (another Strayan sports journo) was being cited as reporting that QPR were in for CCM. And there was a thread about it on the forum then:
https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/
I also can't find anything written about QPR by Rugari.
The real source of the story each time was AusFootHQ, who has 5,000 followers and cites real journalists but never provides any links to their stories to verify their claims:
https://x.com/ALeagueHQ
Maybe I'm just excessively cynical but until I can see a verifiable report on the story from a reputable sauce I'm taking it with a huge pinch of salt.

I did follow a link the last time it came around and it was to a legit Aussie newspaper, but paywalled. Had to get round it (unless any journalists are reading, then I paid for a subscription, honest). It did seem more legit than someone just saying it on Twitter. I do hope that I'm wrong though and the papers have been fooled too | |

Doesn't mean there isn't anything in it, but I am very sceptical.
Our young CEO does have experience of multi-club models so maybe it is something our board is considering. It's certainly true that other clubs have done it. | | | |

I'm fairly sure his former employer Retexo has advised on multi-club ownerships.
And Nourry has referred to it in the past.
I think he briefly referred to it in a recent interview.
Then again, Phil Beard was appointed for his experience delivering new stadiums. How did that work out! [Post edited 26 Mar 14:58]

When I saw we'd teamed up with CCM I was delighted that the club had finally identified a trophy worth going after; The Stanley Cup. | |
