QPR Wealth Doesn’t Worry Britton

QPR are regarded by many as the world’s richest club since Formula One magnates Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore along with Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal took over last year.

However, inconsistent form this season has seen them not make the impact that many predicted this season and they arrive at the Liberty tomorrow looking to end the Swans unbeaten home start to the season.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the Swans midfielder said “They are a club with a lot of money to spend but we go into the game looking to get a result

“If we play our game and keep to our high standards, I think we’ll be OK.

“They are a team that are looking to get promotion or be there or thereabouts at the end of the season

“There are billionaires everywhere and I saw that there was game one that Naomi Campbell went to watch.

“It’s going to be a tough game.

“They’ve got a manager in Iain Dowie who knows the division and is doing OK.”

He added: “When you’ve got that kind of money, pressure comes with it.

“It happens in the Premier League where managers have masses of money to spend and it doesn’t happen straight away they are under pressure.

“It’s probably the same at QPR to a certain extent.

“The money has been pumped in and they are looking to get into the Premier League.

“I suppose if it doesn’t happen soon, the manager is probably the one who is going to be gone.”
