Ali departs

[Dazzer1977]

Sorry Dazzer. The Gold Silver and Bronze categorisations were 100% Russell's idea and implemented at his insistence. The pricing was decided by the board but not the divisive categories.

Yes Nodge I totally agree and I did write that above (albeit during an edit - but before your reply). But as I also said nothing to do with pricing came from Russell in anyway shape or form. That was all Flabbio's brainwave. He was actually warned about this alienating supporters but still ploughed ahead with it.

Why does that not surprise me?

[Dazzer1977]

Ric-Roc - His role was in no way shape or form a Deputy MD. He had very little if any clout at QPR. I promise you if anyone gets the chance to have a chat with him, he's actually quite a decent guy. I very much doubt he'll look back at his time working at QPR with any fond memories.

i think ric was refuring to flabbio

The gold, silver and Bronze was a dreadful idea though dazzer, so I don't really sympthise for the guy whether he is a decent bloke or not. He also forced people to move seats and raised the class issue.

Oh ffs get off RUSSELS back for this call. IT REALLY WASN'T HIM who suggested the massive rises we got - I know this for a fact. He practically couldn't wipe his own #### without FLABBIO's say so. When he first start pretty much all his idea's and suggestions he put to the board were either knocked back OR CHANGED BY FLAVIO. He was a Gopher and often the fall guy or the one who took the blame. The price rises were put in place because of the investment Flavio and Co were going to put in - so everything was paid for by them out of their pockets.

The C Club, Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze was a very similar structure to what Ali put in place at Hearts but nothing to do with pricing came from him.

If you re-read my post Dazzer I didn't suggest that he was the sole culprit behind the initial rises we saw. I said THEY as in the whole board. Thats why I feel the next appointment will be masive for us, as we need a strong minded character who will not just be a gopher for the likes of FB.

I sent in my CV and have an interview on February 15th! Wish me luck!

When I saw the headline "Russell Departs" on the offy, I thought I haven't even finished paying off my funeral plan. Family won't be happy.

No worries fella. Didn't mean my initial in anyway directed at ya fella - Sorry. The next appointment will be Bernie's; someone who has the knowledge to take us to a new global level if we go up.

Crikey, that's more than my funeral plan. I was paying that lady in Coventry a quid a month to chuck me in a wheelie bin like she did that cat and wait for the council to collect me.

Hoping to die on a Wednesday as they collect the bins on Thursdays.
