Keith Curle Gives His Opinion On His time at QPR

“The chairman and his board are very keen to establish strong links with the community and that’s also something which appealed. It reminds me of QPR in that sense because when Neil, Mick and I first went in there it had a really welcoming feel and that’s vitally important.

“There were good pros in the dressing room and that’s important because it means they police themselves. I’m trying to create something similar here and I think we can do that because of the character I’ve seen.”

QPR’s return to the top flight was the subject of a recent BBC documentary - “The Four Year Plan” - which painted a less than flattering picture of then chairman Gianni Paladini’s reign. Curle, though, has an altogether different take on the larger than life Italian.

“When Gianni left QPR, the heartbeat of the club went as well,” he said.

“People have a certain idea about what he was like but he was a focal point and a figurehead. He had agents and representatives of this player and that player constantly telephoning him but he was really good at filtering out what those of us on the football side needed to know and all of the superfluous stuff that would just get in the way.”

Move on

Shame that Paladini's family member sends abusive messages to Robbie Savage about the death of his father.

We all know that QPR is a better place without Paladini being anywhere near this club.

We should always be thankful to Kevin Steele in putting Gianni into contact with Flavio et al.

Hammersmith R

But he doesn't have a son called Joshua?

Hammersmith R, is this same Hammersmith R who was always very nice and approachable when he saw him in pubs?

I was neither for or against palladini , but wud suggest that comment is a bit uncalled for, an assumption ... How do u know that he's a relative ??

"it means they police themselves".

No Keith, it means you thought they were policing themselves while you went down the pub and we went down the table.

who cares he's gone, at least its not a muamba thread though

[HammersmithR]

Pete, I said family member. Could be nephew, great nephew or even grandson??

You're mutual friends on Facebook.

[qblockpete]

Probably my fault but I accept anyone on Facebook

Wouldnt know who he is and if its the same one on Twitter, I will remove him.

Problem is people set up fictious accounts on Twitter and its hard to know

[davman]

So, you've felt the need to re-surface to defend your mate then Pate, AGAIN?

Move on; he's left Thank God...
