Queens Park Rangers have hinted they are in talks with more than one potential buyer.

The directors of the club's holding company - QPR Holdings Limited - resigned en masse this week with immediate effect, although current chairman Gianni Paladini is expected to remain in situ.

The departure of the directors cleared the decks for an expected £22million takeover by Renault Formula One team boss Flavio Briatore - which has been scheduled for completion this week.

But a club statement on Friday said: "The board of QPR announces it is engaged in discussions with a number of parties.

"This may or may not lead to an offer being made for the entire issued share capital of the company."

Meanwhile, the club remains in danger of liquidation should a takeover fail to materialise.

Paladini said: "There would be a huge concern over the club's future."

Briatore admitted his interest in taking over the West London outfit while with his Renault team at the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul.

"We are talking. we are a bunch of friends together," he said.

"If it happens I am very happy, if not I am very happy as well."

Briatore admitted he has never actually set foot inside the club's Loftus Road ground, and explained that he would not be involved heavily in the day-to-day running of the club..

"The history behind it [the club] is great. And I pass the stadium every time I go to Oxford by helicopter and so I become friendly with the stadium," he said.

"The idea is like any other. I opened the Cipriani [restaurant] in London but I am not in the kitchen to cook. I have the people managing it.

"Formula One is my priority 100 percent, anything else we are doing in a professional way but as a group of friends. Nothing dramatic."
