QPR announce takeover interest being considered

QPR have announced they're in takeover talks with interested parties.

In March, club owner Bernie Ecclestone suggested he might be interested in selling his 69% stake in QPR for £100million - and the club entered into talks with an unnamed group, with due diligence taking place.

"On March 4 the company (QPR Holdings Limited) announced that it was in preliminary discussions with a potential purchaser," the statement on qpr.co.uk read.

"At the time the takeover panel confirmed that should those discussions result in an offer being made for the company, the offer would be subject to the City code on takeovers and mergers (the code), even if such an offer was made after April 2, being the date on which the company ceased to be to the code, due to it being delisted 10 years previously.

"The company confirm that these discussions came to an end in March.

"Since the end of these discussions, the company has entered into preliminary discussions with a different party and can confirm that these discussions and any subsequent transaction would not be subject to the code.

"Accordingly the company confirms that is it no longer in an offer period for the purposes of the code.

"We will be making no further comment at stage."
