Yesterday the Standard reported that Brazil's World Cup winning captain Dunga has joined the board of directors at Queens Park Rangers. Dunga, 40, is a member of the consortium known as Barnaby Holdings.

The Monaco-based consortium has already bought a 10% stake in the club and is set to increase its holding to 29.9% in the next few weeks. This will bring their total investment in QPR to around £1.6m.

Dunga replaces Andrea Primicerio as the consortium's representative on the QPR board and plans to be at Loftus Road for the first time on 11 September for the visit of Plymouth Argyle.

Meanwhile QPR's erstwhile chief executive David Davies has joined Wasps Rugby Club as CEO. Chris Wright, the man who brought Davies to Loftus Road, owns Wasps.

Talking of Chris Wright, Tuesday was Day One of the Loyal Supporters Association's campaign to get Wright to hand his 13% shareholding back to the club. Banners were displayed in the Ellerslie Road stand during the Carling Cup match against Swansea, and over 1,000 leaflets were distributed to supporters.
