Ecclestone: I bought QPR to help Warnock into Premier League

Bernie Ecclestone says he's taken control of QPR to help Neil Warnock get the club into the Premier League.

Warnock received a huge boost last night when F1 billionaire Ecclestone bought the club.

"I haven't bought the club to see my name in the papers, I have bought it to support Neil," said Ecclestone. He now owns 62 per cent having bought out director Flavio Briatore.

"Neil tells us how to kick the ball and now our aim is the Premier League," added Ecclestone. "The target is not to challenge Manchester United or Arsenal, but to see how far we can go."
