Dave Morris and
Phil Emmel are two of the other newcomers. Morris is believed
to have been funding player purchases / wages for some time,
and Emmel was the business partner of chairman Bill Power at
Datasat Communications. The fourth new director is Valentin Ehmer. Assuming there aren't too many people of that name around, he seems to be the London-based Head of the European Investor Unit at major investment bank Schroder Salomon Smith Barney. He appears to have an interest in youth football, and in 2001 his young sons were being coached at Ascot United FC alongside Glenn Hoddle's son. When David Davies and Nick Blackburn were chief executive and chairman of QPR, they used to put an announcement on the club's official website every time a director joined or left the board. This was appreciated by most supporters and shareholders who, as a result, had a fair idea of who was making the decisions that affected the club and what the background of the directors was. All companies in this country are required by law to file an "Annual Return" with Companies House. The Annual Return is a snapshot of information about the company including the name, address, date of birth, nationality, and business occupation of each director. Late filing of the Annual Return is a criminal offence for which the company's directors and secretary may be prosecuted. The Annual Return for QPR Holdings Ltd was due on 10 June 2005 and has not yet been filed according to Companies House.
