Briatore committed to QPR future


QPR's joint-owner Flavio Briatore says he plans to stay at the club for the long haul and believes Rangers will be in the Premier League in three years. 
Rangers are currently seven points off the play-offs and the Italian told BBC London 94.9 it has been a tough season. 
"The football is a bit disappointing. We have had a lot of players out, like Rowan Vine and Ákos Buzsaky," he said. 
"But when we started this programme we were talking about four years - we've only had one year." 
QPR began the Championship season as favourites at the bookmakers to win promotion, but Briatore thinks expectations are too high and success will take a little time. 
"Last year we were bankrupt, we paid all the debt and the stadium is ours, 100%. We have put a lot of money behind the club. 
"When you are building a house you start from the base, not the roof. Little by little we're improving the stadium, the company, the image - and I'm sure we're improving the football as well. 
"We have a good squad, so let's see what happens next season." 
QPR face fellow promotion-chasers Bristol City at Loftus Road on Saturday.
