QPR boss Warnock banking on fresh transfer funds with new takeover

QPR boss Neil Warnock hopes for extra transfer funds with the club about to change hands.

Warnock has spent just £1.25 million this summer, on DJ Campbell, and has had to bring in free transfer signings to bolster his squad, but it is not enough.

That will change if Tony Fernandes can conclude a takeover deal valued at around £100 million, says the Telegraph. The Malaysian businessman flew to London last week for talks and spent most of this match sitting alongside Flavio Briatore, who was the subject of much derision by home supporters.

Talks will continue on Monday and Warnock is optimistic that a deal will be done in time to release the funds to sign those players he has in mind.

"We need two or three players and I am confident we can get them in the next week or two," he said.

"I have spoken to the [prospective] new owner am quite positive from what I have heard. I have two or three in mind and think I have the support to bring them in."
