Latest Match Result - 21/04/01 - Huddersfield Town 2 - QPR 1 - RELEGATION CONFIRMED

Eight years ago QPR finished fifth in the Premiership ahead of Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds. Next season they will be scrapping with the likes of Brentford, Brighton and Bury after their worst league campaign in 34 years. But it is not just the humiliation of dropping down to English football's third tier that will hurt QPR. Financially, especially for a club in administration and losing £570,000 a month, the cost of relegation will be huge.

Latest News - Loftus Road Plc in Serious Financial Trouble - 03/04/01

A salvage plan for QPR and Wasps has been devised after Loftus Road Plc went into administration last night. Current chairman Chris Wright's plan involves the football club and rugby club be demerged. The football club would be sold - he has already had talks with a potential purchaser, and he would buy the rugby club himself.

The man owed most money by the current company is Wright himself but he has promised to bankroll the club if necessary.

The man considering buying the football club is property developer Andrew Ellis, the 32-year-old son of Peter Ellis, who was QPR chairman when Wright bought the club in 1996. Peter Ellis was chairman for two years while the club was owned by Newmarket-based businessman David Thompson. Andrew Ellis was also a QPR director. Last night, QPR confirmed that Andrew Ellis was considering launching a takeover and he told reporters that a deal had been struck in principle.

Meanwhile, Wright has tabled a "seven-figure bid" to take control of Wasps. Crucially, he wants the purchase of the rugby club to include QPR's training ground, the former British Gas sports ground site in Acton. He wants the site to become the training home of Wasps and the base for their amateur, women and junior sections.

Wasps at present rent rugby pitches at the Bisham Abbey national training centre in Berkshire but, under the Wright scheme, they would take over Acton and QPR might have to find another training ground.
