Queens Park Rangers could be set for a future lined with success and silverware as the London club continue their January spending spree.
Rangers have already signed Akos Buzsaky, Matthew Connolly, Hogan Ephraim and Patrick Agyemang from Plymouth Argyle, Arsenal, West Ham and Preston respectively. QPR are also poised to sign experienced Premier League players Fitz Hall and Rowan Vine. Ex-Aston Villa keeper Stefan Postma is in line to join along with Argentine winger Rusculleda.
The majority of the signings made by Luigi De Canio have been Premier League quality, making the R's a force to be reckoned with. Spurs winger Wayne Routledge could be making a short but permanent trip to Loftus Road along with Shifty ****tu of Watford and Martin Taylor of Birmingham City. QPR have also brought in classy central midfielder Gavin Mahon on loan from Watford.
The money behind these transfers belong to F1 tycoons Bernie Eccelstone and Flavio Briatore with steel magnate Lakshi Mittale also holding a stake at the club. The club is potentially the richest side in world football with three billionares owning a stake.
The R's are utilising the money and are clearly using the right tactics as the side are moving north in the Championship table. Wins over Colchester Utd, Watford and Leicester City mean that in four games the club have moved five places, from 23rd to 18th. People will argue that money isn't everything in football and I agree but it does mean an awful lot.
Just look at Chelsea. They did still have an impressive history but when Roman Abramovich's millions came along they started to get places in Europe and England. Two titles on the trot and Champions League semi-finals show that the bank is an important factor in footballing success. Now think about the transfers possible with BILLIONS to spend.
I think that by the end of next season at most, QPR will be a top-flight team again and by then the club will be able to buy any player they could possibly want. Rangers do still have a long tough road to get there but at least now it's possible.
Queens Park Rangers have signed players capable of ripping up the Championship and if the players live up to expectations and potential, success is sure to come.

NOW lets see
Lakshmi Mittal NET WORTH ($32 Billion (US) ) * Net worth increased by 19 billion in 2007
Bernie Ecclestone. NET WORTH ($4 Billion (US)
Flavio Briatore ($2 Billion (US)
Yes , thats right you got THREE BILLIONAIRES behind the club now. Now look at this, analysts have rated the club as the Second richest club in Europe (all that credit is basically b/c of Mittal )
MY OPINION: 5 Years, they will cause problems, I do believe if they put those resources to good use, they'll be in the C.L
