I wish, I had my QPR career: Sunil ChhetriTimes of India - Marcus Mergulhao, TOI Crest, 23 January 2010,
The one thing Sunil Chhetri would change in his life/career if he could:I was close to realizing my European dream when I had a three-year contract with English first divisioners Queens Park Rangers (QPR). But my dream was kept on hold after the British government denied me a work permit. The rejection hurts to this day and it is something that I would have loved to change, if it was in my hands! Being so close and not getting there is disappointing. I still have a lot of football ahead of me and, hopefully, such opportunities will come knocking again. It’s not the end of the world, I know, but that one thing means a lot to me. Apart from the rejection, I am content with the way my life and career has shaped up. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/interviews/I-wish-I-had-my-QPR-career-Sunil-Chhetri/articleshow/5490861.cms

3 year contract for an unproven lad from India?
Sounds like a GP deal!

To me it sounded like a Bhatia-Mittal marketing move, increase QPR's "Name brand" in India. Bring in a player to attract Indian audiences (in the UK) and in India...And then the next step would have been pressure on the manager to play him, no matter how good or otherwise.
