Neil says they talk once a week, as long as its not around 2:30 on a saturday to give Neil the team selection then thats fine by me.

Storm in a tea cup as far as I'm concerned!!

Thats all well and good,but its still a psychological kick in the gonads for NW given all the hard work and years of know-how he's put in to make the team what it is today.The seasons barely a quarter of the way through and far too early to contemplate promotion.I wish tangoman would butt out,lifes been lovely with him not interferring.The mere mention of his name is enough for our season to collapse like a pack of cards. I pray not but I wouldn't be surprised to see us beaten tomorrow night with all the unrest this is going to cause.The man's a 1st class prat.

Just hope the team and NW aren't affected, we'll see on Fri.

hes given everyone the perfect excuse/headlines to churn out if we lose our first game of the season to the club rooted firmly to the bottom.

Bottom line. Flavio should never had said this in the first place and it shouldn't be open to discussion. How the bloke got as far has he did in management certainly wasn't down to his public relation skills which are amateur to say the least.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Flabio Briatore is the biggest **** I know of.
The sooner we see the back of that ****, the better.

apparently flab is still trying to meddle in team selection according to warno

NW's public public "laughing off" response and his personal thoughts and feelings on the matter I believe to be two entirely different things.

The bottom line is that Briatore's comments were wholly undermining of Neil Warnock's position. There's no getting away from that fact. Any QPR manager, no matter how outwardly thick-skinned, would not fail to be deeply dissapointed and affected going to bed that night after reading such comments from one of the major shareholders all over the media.

Yet again Briatore has brought further embarrassment to the club, forcing them to make this contrite public statement.
