It sounds like she has bought a 3 year lease stake in the club for the Asia territory and will profit from deals/sales/licensing from that territory.

If it's known by the 15th, would hope the QPR First would ask re this. Cos on the surface, seems unclear.

She will be using Asian sweat shops to make our new kit for Tuppence hapenny zooming our profits. I suppose China wouldnt let her in after our brawl. But really I think there is no Mrs Yamazookie. It is Gianni Paladini's code name.

So that makes it seem likely that QPR won't be travelling to NORTH Korea any time soon!

the question that immediately springs to mind is " Why don't they get the football right first ?
We've had new badges, Ciprianni's, new corporate hospitality, even new prices, and plenty of new managers. What kind of an ego has Briatore got. He thinks he owns an equivalent team to Manchester Utd. and the club isn't even in the Premier League. Never mind that they're not even challenging for promotion. None of the promises he has made about the progress of the club have come true, I think he's just a fanny merchant.
Football isn't the same business as selling cheap gear for big money. It's sporting combat, one team against another, if the other team are better you usually lose. No amount of bulls**t is going to alter that.
Forget the GLOBAL AMASSADOR - GET US SOME GLOBAL CLASS PLAYERS !!!!

Unless this lady can score 20+ a season playing as a lone striker up front, I do not see the point of this really. If we had a 20+ a season striker and looked like we were going up then I can see the point of bringing this level of marketing expertise to the QPR 'world brand' enterprise. Surely in order to realise massive investment opportunities abroad a successfull squad would be the priority in order to establish a profile in the Japan and South Korean markets at first and therefore make the investment far more appealing. This, in return, would realise a larger initial investment, to begin with. Surely we have just 'put her in place' until we reach the premiership, as a year is a useful amount of time to find the right investors, with due dilligence in mind.
In fact we should ask her if she knows of any nippy-around-the-box strikers coming thru the asian leagues that can play off a target man. The asian Rooney would be perfect! ;D
