Briatore Quits Renault

[Robbo]

not necessarily, because Symonds has gone as well, Briatore carries the can as chief executive but as neither will be defending themselves Renault will get a constructors points ban and that will be that.

The enquiry still goes ahead on monday.
FIA have just announced that, official.

All Renault have done is pleaded guilty in advance of it.

Thing that I dont like is, we as a football club will be tarred with this, on top of everything else. are people likely to be attracted to a club run by a perceived cheat.

very dissapointing, I can't see much of an upside to this at the moment.

Its not good and only at QPR:cry::(:cry:

Where's that black cat gone? Gone all pear shaped since he was chucked out

No, not at the moment.

We do seem very good at attracting a mess lately.

This will surely have a knock on effect on sponsorship and the likes. Nobody wants to be associated with a cheater

[m_cooper]

i think we should have a poll,to see who is a true qpr fan or a flav fan

[paulmason]

I have a feeling if it was Paladini / QPR or Flavio / QPR, the results would be the same. What is truly shocking, it seems that no matter what they do, people cant see they have done nothing wrong and make excuses for them, even after they have been proven to be a liar.

Think you will find we are all QPR fans we just have differing opinions, stop acting like all our previous owners have been so honourable, they weren't !

[paulmason]

What have the previous owners got to do with this ?

[m_cooper]

if the man city owner had to go,so does flav

[paulw]

But could you argue that this kind of thing has always gone on to some extent (bending the rules) ?

eg.. cars deliberately stalling in qualifying to block other cars etc ?

My point is that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon saying he must go, saying everyday he stays in charge the club sinks lower and lower BUT seem to forget how previous chairman we have had also had their very dodgy sides. If we were in the top 6 I believe peoples opinions would be very different, it is a reaction of such because of the position we are in.
I don't actually like him myself but until a better solution is found am willing to put up with him at the club..................does that make me less of a sports fan than others ?

[ollyhoops]

This will be very complicated, I think this could make things worse for QPR.

[qpr_matt]

I'm no expert on these things, but the fact it did not go to court and that it was never proven, I'd expect him to continue his role at QPR no problem.

He will probably get back into F1 when the dust settles.

No chance. He is getting done for it, as they are saying its was him and not the teams orders.

He is screwed.
