Or have I got crossed wires here?

I don't think it has to be you. It could be any potential chairman.

So if I wanted to, I could make Mr. Blobby to attempt to buy QPR.

That's how I interpreted it, don't think you have any say over stadium expansion etc.

If you open up that file (it's in My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\db\[YOUR DATABASE NAME]\edt if you made a custom database or Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\data\db\800 for the default database), the instructions are right there in the file.

These same instructions were posted by reyder in this thread. The file actually tells you to copy and paste the line, just filling in your information and removing the # from the beginning of the line.

It'll take a while to show up matey. The preference will be logged, and next time the club is up for a takeover, you'll be touted as one of the interested parties.

Now, at a club with a stable board, that won't be likely to happen. However, if it's a club with a good chance of a takeover happening in real life, you'd stand a better chance there. So, patience :thup:

the last one in the thing, Media Corner LTD...can you change that at all? What does that actually mean, is it the company of the person or does it have to be left the same?
