Queens Park Rangers Football Club (pronounced /ˌkwiːnz ˌpɑrk ˈreɪndʒərz/) (usually referred to as QPR, also known as The Rs or The Hoops) are an English professional football club, based in Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith and Fulham, West London. They currently play in the Football League Championship, and their honours include winning the League Cup in 1967, and being runners-up in the old First Division in 1975–76 and FA Cup in 1982.
Queens Park Rangers Football Club were founded in 1882, and their traditional colours are blue and white. In the early years after the club's formation in their original home of Queen's Park, games were played at many different grounds until finally the club settled into their current location at Loftus Road. Owing to their proximity to other west London clubs, QPR maintain long-standing rivalries with several other clubs in the area. The most notable of these are Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford with whom they contest what are known as West London derbies. In 2007 QPR were taken over by Italian tycoon Flavio Briatore. Other major shareholders include Indian steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
The current chairman of the club is Indian businessman Ishan Saksena, and the manager is former Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United player Neil Warnock, who has also managed teams such as Sheffield United and, most recently, Crystal Palace in a very successful footballing career spanning nearly fifty years.
