QPR chief Beard insists Samba, Remy deals no financial gamble

QPR chief Phillip Beard insists their latest big money signings won't affect the club's financial health.

Christopher Samba was brought in from Anzhi Makhachkala with Loic Remy also joining from Marseille.

Beard has refuted claims that the deals broke the bank and put the long-term financial future of the club at stake.

"I can reassure QPR fans that we have owners who are very successful businessmen and very sensible in business," he said.

"Recent reports regarding what money our players are on are completely wide of the mark. Chris Samba was keen to come back to England, this is where his family are.

"He is not on anything like has been suggested. Even if we win trophies, with all sorts of different bonuses, he would not get anywhere close to the money that has been reported."
