Should Gianni do the honourable thing

[BUSHRANGER1982]

In the time that Gianni has been at our club, I've only ever spoken to him three times, and I've no doubts whatsoever that he has the very best interests of our club at heart, he's an ardent Ranger.
If, as big ade says, we hadn't had Gianni Paladini at the helm, steering the good ship QPR from off the rocks of administration, I can only imagine in my worst nightmares what state our beloved football club would be in just now.

Thanks, Gianni, for all you've done for our club, and here's hoping you're here for some time to come yet.

Agree. What makes me laugh is that hardly anyone on the web actually knows what he does - or has done. Couple in the fact what he has gone through.

If I told you that the Met were so genuinely scared for his and his families safety that there was 24 hour surveillance on his daughters house and her sons school? Or if I told you that he was stuck on a train and was running very late but they couldnt get hold of him that the met was so worried he was getting "hit" or had been "hit" that they sent half of SO19 to meet the train?

Also, who stumped up the cash for Blackstock and for Camp?

I think history will show that the bloke has done more and gone through more for QPR than anyone else in our history.

Like I said though, I voted yes, the bloke has earnt a retirement and the time to spend with his family and not worry about QPR anymore IMHO

to be honest there is no need for a sporting director anyway it has never worked in england

managers don't like it. half the reason some managers laugh when we are mentioned

yes maybe without him we would not be here but does that mean he should have a job for life.

also when he did own us certain members of staff didn't have a good word to say about him

No one (well some may) is saying he did not 'save us', or indeed used his own money to buy players (if true), but that it is not sufficient for him being our Sporting Director.

Blimey, Scott, Gianni and his family have certainly been through the ringer, 'aint they?
If Gianni decides to retire, then all well and good, but I'd hate to see him forced out.

[BobHazell]

No - he's a good bloke - helped find a buyer for the club when we were in the sheet

[rblockells]

make him lifetime club president or some such but,honestly,sporting director??????please.

[writtler]

I think you need to learn your history Scott - done more for the club than anyone ever in our history - my ****ing #### - how long you actually been going?

Don't believe everything you're told..

[The Merry Ploughboy]

Think Jim Gegory may have done just a tad more than your master Scott, do you know Jim was Scott ??

[The Merry Ploughboy]

SORRY here is the R i missed out of Gregory

[stainrodisalegend]

don't understand why gianni is such a scapegoat. does anyone really think he is saying "no flavio, plse don't spend money on players or a decent manager, its much better to spend virtually nothing, its the way to get us promoted..."

[The Merry Ploughboy]

cmon lads keep voting, lets get a good cross section of the board, so whatever the result it carries some substance
