Briatore let off /merged thread/

[Bluehoop]

Does it mean he will pass the fit and proper test? when are the fa deciding whether or not he can still be part of the club?

He potentially failed the test on the basis that he was banned from Motor Sport for his alleged actions. The ban being overturned means that he is not banned. However, the ban was overturned because the FIA had no legal right to impose such a ban - it is not a statement to the effect that he did not commit or conspire in the act.

Whilst Briatore still denies any involvement in the crashgate scandal, it is possible the FA could consider him as not fit or proper as a result of that alleged involvement. The problem with that is they have no grounds to ban him for something he hasn't done (wether he did it or not) and as matters stand he has not been proven guilt of doing anything. Good old Witness X, upon whom the FIA based their grounds for banning FB appears to be a non-person thus rendering their evidence inadmissable (in fact a tissue of lies).
Do you think the FA will step up and look to prosecute FB - of course not and nor should they.
The Claimants credibility (that is is FIA) was shot to pieces when it came to light that there was no living Witness X and the rest of it will remain a mystery to all but those actually involved.

In summary, unless they can find some other grounds I don't see how FB fails the fit and proper person test.

That's certainly how I see it. I don't think the FA have set any date for a ruling as they were awaiting the outcome of FB's Appeal. Lord Mulhwinney (sp) asked for and received disclosure of documents in the French Court proceedings which, no doubt, gave the FA a clear picture of the issues involved in crashgate - it is of course possible that there is evidence in that little lot indicating grounds to kick Flav out - but only time will tell.

Someone said earlier that the FIA were appealing the French Court's ruling which will ensure that this drags on for a while yet :horror:

A good day for QPR!! I will have a glass of portwine tonight!:chill::chill:

Please tell my why this is a good thing for our club??? Think you've been on the wine for some time now

[qblockoompah]

No, but it's nothing to do with the FA.

Mawhinney on the other hand, would have had the balls.

He's shown that. Ask Luton and Southampton etc..

REALLY? No sarcasm at all intended, who would kick him out if he failed fit n proper test? thought the decision would be up to the FA

It would be up to The Football League, not the FA.

Seems academic now anyway. He got away with Crashgate, and we move on.

[qblockoompah]

i for one am glad. Hope he pulls his finger out now

[GARO1967]

I agree with Scott, as far as i am concerned Briatore is a greedy self-centered nut job and he could not give a flying ###xx about any QPR fans, as i have said before his motivation for investing in the club are very dubious. We need a football man someone like Steve Gibson of Middlesbrough who does his utmost to develop a relationship with the fans.

that is the worst thing that could happen for our club,that idiot flav getting off
