Okay Gp Goes??

[Captain Clunge]

The problem with Gianni is that he's just not competent in the role and lacks confidence in his, or FB's initial decisions and makes panic decisions without thinking through the consequences.

We've had a succession of very poor players who've signed up on long term deals on mega bucks. In truth, you can count the good deals out of the 92 he has been involved with on one hand (and thats one hand if you're a resident of Springfield). Loan after loan after loan after loan costing the club HUGE sums of money for zero return. For loan deals you still pay the club and the agents for the deal going through but there's no sell on value or book value for us. Lest not forget that in the summer just gone, Pete stated on here that we wouldn't be going down the loan route....Why the change? I'd assume that information came from GP directly but the revolving door is still revolving.

IMO - he should have walked for the Padula **** up - possibly Ukah too - any other Chief Exec/DoF would have been pushed but again, IMO, there are vested interests.

For all the noise of Briatore being in charge of everything - sure he's in charge - in the same way the Queen is in charge of all UK legislation - i.e. the name on the cheque/statute. FB knows a minimum number of people in UK football. I'd wager these comprise of Paladini and Al Fayed and one or two others (not forgetting those in Madrid, Turin and Milan). Let's face it, Paladini is getting these players in (Borrowdale being a corking example of a player the manager didn't want and being victimised when not played) - Briatore asks if they're any good - Paladini says yes - deal done. The advice being given is poor. Again, managers chosen targets are being excluded on the advice of Paladini - Dowie suffered here particularly IIRC. Why anyone would think this is a good thing is beyond me.

I think GP has now taken the club as far as he can with his abilities and contacts. He's done well by QPR (some argue vice versa too) and now might well be a good time for him to draw a respectable line under the work he has done at the club and now nip back to Solihull and enjoy his retirement with his family and grandchildren.

My opinion - no ITK - no spin.

Hhhhhmmmmm......I think you'll be waiting a while for a response on this one Nodge. Might take a while to get printed off, response agreed and then posted back on here.....?

Why??

Its a very well balanced argument, disagree with bits of course, but I've maintained that 18 months would be enough, some say even earlier. I certainly wouldn't need the c.rap if I was him, done the job of securing the club is more than anyone could have done, could not have asked of anything more..

Retirement would be something I would consider, than give it 3 months and laugh at the fans who have something else to moan about, because believe me they will.

Pete, No one done a better job for UK PLC than Maggie Thatcher, but a time came when she had to be moved on. Likewise, in the past, GP has done a really good job for QPR FC, but he has entered his time to be moved on period.

Sounds like it will make yourself feel smug if that was the case.

[qblockpete]

Believe me, I won't be smug. We all want it best for QPR at end of the day.

I'm just saying its in our nature, it will be something else.

Hmmm.........

Did well for UK Plc if you lived in England, below Bedford, not in Wales, and not in London unless you were in the City or Kensington. Not sure destroying the country's industrial and manufacturing heartland, destroying communities and putting whole swathes of the North into poverty lasting generations could count as a good job.

I'll still be dancing on the witches grave when she turns up her green slippers.

A toe curling post.

You obviously did not like my post because what I had to say supported Gianni.

if gp goes
life will end, floods will cover the planet, then will freeze for 20,000 yrs
nothing will survive, not even fish.

pandas and tigers will perish, tomatoes will darken and shrivel

HE MUST STAY, HE MUST....
