Not exactly consistent with the line being plugged by some posters that Tony Fernandes and Ruben Gnanalingam have had enough and are looking to sell their part of QPR, hence the lack of action on Warren Farm.

Interesting.

Sorry, how did you draw that conclusion?

One word springs to mind is Watford. Look how the Prezzo's got Watford to where they are and at the same time avoiding the FFP rules through loanees from another club they own. If the Dutch league doesn't have such financial rules, then you may see some decent players being signed by Den Bosch and then loaned to QPR until such time that we reach the PL and then the players are signed.
It's part of an interesting trend that is going on with club ownership. The move is away from single club ownership to multi-club ownership across different countries. Usually, the requirements are that there will not be an issue with the UEFA Ownership Rule, that the club being bought owns its ground and, typically, that there is a property development angle.
Aside from the big four in Holland (PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord and AZ), Dutch clubs are pretty small and have low valuations. The ownership structures are also interesting in that a lot of them are held in Stichtung (Foundation) structures with grounds being owned by a local authority.
For the owners of a group of football clubs, the idea is that as well as being able to loan players across the group, there are also economies of scale that can be achieved (you only need one analysis team, medical costs can be centralised and so on).
The fact that QPR are supposedly looking at this suggests that either we are building up a group for onward sale, or that Tune is going to be here for a while.

Also (allegedly) dodgy as fck Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis owns Olympiacos. Add to that Matthew Benham of Brentford fame who is majority shareholder of FC Midtjylland, almost certainly one of the best teams you’ll face in Denmark, this or any other week. Although I’m not sure if that’s for FFP reasons.
The Athletic had a long piece about the City Football Group (or Man. City as they send to be known). It's not a new concept, of course, but it's getting more widespread. I don't like it. It's colonialism and destroys the smaller clubs in the group.
I'd be dead against it.

Ah but once we do it the EFL will declare it illegal and dock us 50 points

It depends on how it's done Brian. Obviously the Man City model of world domination and teams full of players all over the world playing 'the pep way' is undesirable but I quite like the idea of a 'twin team', where you share facilities/resources/contacts.

I've no problem with a twin team either, Clive. Good point. But feeder teams are just cannibalism and FIFA should have clamped down on it a long, long time ago (Man Utd were at this 15-20 years ago.

The Red Bull quartet of clubs haven't suffered individually, quite the opposite at the moment I think.
I understand the inclination to despair. This isn't how football was, nor should be. But it will never be the the local game on Saturday at 3:00pm that it used to be. So smaller teams, (and I'd include ourselves in that category) have to find new ways to flourish. This should be better than the arbitrary loan system that exists at the moment. At least players would be moving within the same club culture and playing systems.

They may not be, bit the process should be outlawed.
A junior club in such arrangement has no board, no control and no players of its own. Without any autonomy or control, it can no longer call itself a club.
