fouaD’s DreaM<br />
by Martin Duckworth, ian Mclaren<br />
Fouad Sahyoun was born to an Arab-Christian family<br />
in Haifa in 1943. His family was forced to leave in 1948,<br />
when he was four years old. Fouad has ‘made it’ in his<br />
adopted country: Canada. But Fouad wants to go back to<br />
Haifa and re-establish himself in the city of his birth.<br />
He remembers the city as a jewel of Muslim-Jewish-<br />
Christian multi-faith and multi-ethnic harmony, before<br />
1948. However, his dream to establish business and<br />
cultural links between his world and Haifa, is fraught<br />
with difficulties – familial as well as political. But<br />
he believes that entrepreneurship can succeed where<br />
diplomacy and war have failed.<br />

tHe four Year plan<br />
by Mat Hodgson<br />
In 2007, Queens Park Rangers Football Club, facing<br />
relegation and bankruptcy, was rescued by high-<br />
profile billionaires Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone,<br />
Lakshmi Mittal and Amit Bhatia. Their vision:<br />
to take a community of reluctant fans, semi-talented<br />
players and a roster of ever-changing managers to<br />
Premiership glory. The new owners, risking ridicule and<br />
commercial failure, allowed cameras unprecedented<br />
access to record the roller-coaster ride. Witness one of<br />
modern football’s most extraordinary tales as we see<br />
boardroom battles, clashing egos, and behind the scenes<br />
drama. Facing difficulties at every stage, the story<br />
culminates when QPR heroically win promotion to the<br />
Premier League after four turbulent and dramatic<br />
seasons.<br />
