Queens Park Rangers director and co-owner Amit Bhatia has stepped down from the club's board after agreeing to transfer his ownership stake to majority owner Ruben Gnanalingam.

"Since joining the club in 2007, QPR has been a deeply important part of my life and my family's life," Bhatia told the club website.
"Over nearly two decades we have shared promotions, relegations, unforgettable highs and painful lows, and the memories we have made at Loftus Road alongside the supporters will stay with us forever."
"I step back from my formal responsibilities with pride, gratitude and affection. I want to thank the players, managers, staff, the Community Trust, my fellow board members and, above all, the fans, who have made me and my family feel part of the QPR family for so many years," he added.
Bhatia's departure comes after a consortium he leads expressed an interest in acquiring a minority stake in Liverpool.
