Mittal: Latest big name linked with Rangers
Multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal — the world's fifth-richest man — is to become a director of QPR.
The London-based Indian steel magnate, a friend of the club's coowner Bernie Ecclestone, is ready to pour some of his estimated £26billion fortune into the Championship club.
A QPR source said: 'The club heard Mittal had been interested in Wigan and Everton, but this is a lot closer to home for him.'
QPR have failed to sign Sheffield Wednesday duo Tommy Spurr and Jermaine Johnson.

I would just like to put on record our thanks to Chelsea FC for loaning us some of their players these last few years. We would like to return the favour now so if you ever need an interest free loan, do please feel free to ask as we are now considerably richer than you!
