By the way if I was so against what fans are saying would not have given

Skyports who called me , for them to contact Finney which I think he broadcast on and Talksport to hammersmith r's

Sorry, but that is a dangerously ill informed post. Financially there is no question that all parties have put their hands in their pockets. But consider the wider picture. The nitty gritty, the hard work.. the stream lining of the club (check the finances now compared to a year ago) were whole heartedly down to Bhatia and Saksena. They slashed costs left, right and centre as the boutique module was unsustainable. They are the business men, dont be fooled by profile.

As for January transfers... All board acquiesced. The real hard work though...? Bhatia and Warnock. Saksena and Paladini also did their fair share during this period.

Look at the history of the last 4 years, look at who has been steering the ship during those moments and ally that to the success on the pitch... you get the idea...

so you are saying without Amit Bhatia, we are completely doomed? Really? You're laying it on pretty thick, the reason we went up as champs was because of Warnock and Adel and as far as I can tell, they are still at LR, well Adel until Jan, you guys are jumping around like a cat on a hot tin roof..
because of an Indian businessman? Heaven forbid we get a #### or an arab to pump money into the club...businessmen are a dime a dozen, there are a million of them.

If the Mittals really had their heart in it they would have bought the club. A smile and warm words don't cut it for me.

good point.

Why didn't Mittal/Amit buy the Club ?
It's true it would be small change, even at the ridiculous price Little & Large want.

The answer is simple -
It's because Bernie has clearly changed his mind about selling it.

He officially announced to the media that he'd started negotiations around selling the Club, even mentioning a price of £100M. That cannot be denied.
The only speculation was that an American/Asian consortium were keen.

Now he tells the media, Mittals can offer what they like it's NOT for sale.
Comparing it to the CVC F1 offer by Murdock. Again fact.

So what's changed in the last 6 months ?
I suspect the answer lies with Flavio.

And how Saksema can be sacked/used as a scapegoat for the FA/Fuarlin case is beyond me. I doubt he's even mentioned in the report.
Someone else is, and it's not very complimentary is it ?

Was Ishan sacked over the FA affair?

i'd be suprised if he was sacked over the FA affair.

Clearly GP needs to be sacked over it though - but unfortunatley won't be.

Why would Ishan be sacked over the FA Hearing he had nothing to with Faurlins transfer, joined the club something like a year later....its your mate he needs to be sacked over the FA Hearing!

[vblockranger]

are we pretending that Paladini has not been found incompetent by the written in black and white independant review that is available??
just wondering if Teflon man and his little helpers have their fingers in their ears singing "NA NA NA CANT HEAR YOU!"
:-)

Well, we have to careful with rumours in that case.

Its obvious Ishan was NOT sacked or dismissed over the FA hearing.

w12ranger, its an 80 page document which I have been too busy to read. Its FA paperwork too. Instead of nitpicking at bits, I will read the whole book over the weekend.

The statement on the official site implies that he was.

I'm sure you will providing just enough time for other issues surrounding the club to escalate and the issue of Paladini to be swept under the carpet once again.

Its and 80 page document which is more like 15/20 pages of a book due to line spacing and formatting. I would have thought you would have been burning the mid night oil getting up to date on the document, seeing as its an issue so close to your heart.

As I said, my main priority at the moment is helping fans who want to get in touch with AMIT through email and passing on messages of support

I haven't got time to read long winded reports at the moment, but will do so over the weekend

And I trust that you have copied and pasted an email to Amit of your glorious 'Devils Advocate' post? Tell you what, you would have made an excellent speech writer for the Nazis! QBP, the William Joyce of QPR.

What a cop out.. or are we awaiting for someone to type up your official response to the FA report?

Stop trying to the pull on the heart strings its fooling no one. What a surprise to see you are avoiding questions regarding the hearing and using other issues surrounding the club to do it!

So we have to wait 3/4 days for you to read the report despite you being Paladinis biggest ally as you are 'doing your bit for QPR', don't make me laugh Pete!
