It will be an opinion, like breakfast we all have one.

True, but some people seem to think their opinion is right due to unsubstantiated gossip/rumours.

Pete has been asked several times who at the club he thinks was responsible for the two proven charges and every time he has declined to answer.

In the words of Neil Warnock, "Funny that".

[Stanley]

I would very much doubt that the owners put their full trust in GP and leave him alone when the contracts are drawn up and somebody higher must agree the wages etc

Genuine question - We all know who the board members and employees are. So if it wasn't GP, who else could it have been?...

[baz]

It was his responsibility end off. Article or no article he should be quietly retired off with a thank you, he achieved what he needed to be achieved but he aint going to be able to stand up to the scrutiny that will be placed upon him in the EPL and the global media. So its best for all concerned for him to make way and to bring in a very experienced sports administrator

You should have read all of my post before selecting the piece that excited you

[IsleworthRanger]

Anyone watched the film Groundhog Day before?

Yet again we have a long thread regurgitaing old news and full of speculation from those who have no real idea of what is or has been going on including me

Hardly excited mate. Of course I read your whole post. I just highlighted the part pertinent to my question.

Care to answer it?

My answer is the same as the one I have been repeating for weeks

Whoever was or is found to be responsible should leave with no excuses,no ifs and buts and no delay

I have a feeling that the 'whoever was or is found' bit is going to be Bernie, Amit, Ishan, Flavio or anyone else, but not GP and then the no ifs and buts 10 page of ******** will be born.

The problem of course though is I doubt the club would ever tell us so the guessing and speculation will go on all through the summer and beyond with us all just repeating ourselves until we are blue in the face

Someone with far more intelligence then me!! thought a question I poesd the other day which is would fans be inclined to forgive and forget if it was someone other then Pladini say Amit perhaps was a "dumbass comment" !!

[Morris]

The Paladini interview I said was coming....

Here

[IsleworthRanger]

Here

Well I would not call that an interview and more of a personal opinion by the journalist and to be honest nothing in there we did not know already whether you agree with it not

Some good points made though

[paulmason]

IT’S something of an understatement to point out that QPR fans have had their emotions fed through the wringer in recent weeks.

Anxiety lingered almost until kick-off on the final day that their team’s astonishing, relentless advance to the Football League title might yet be nullified.

It’s not surprising that an outpouring of relief and joy, held in check for the previous week, greeted the FA’s timely announcement that the club would face no points deduction.

And, although euphoria is still at a high level, sooner or later the Rangers faithful might want to reflect on why this uncomfortable, embarrassing episode ever came to pass.

So far, many supporters have lashed out at the FA who – while their handling of this matter leaves a good deal to be desired – have actually displayed extreme leniency in the sentence they handed down.

A total fine of £875,000 and a warning? Hardly worth mentioning when QPR are guaranteed somewhere in the region of £60m as members of the Premier League next season.

All credit to the club’s legal team that they ensured Rangers escaped with such a minimal punishment. Yet the fact remains that they were found guilty on two counts – seeking to use an unauthorised agent and bringing the game into disrepute.

Not for the first time, the name of Queens Park Rangers has been dragged through the mud. And mud sticks.

Who is responsible for that? Not the FA. Not the media, as some seem to think.

It’s well past time that the Loftus Road board learned some lessons, took responsibility for restoring QPR’s reputation and ensured that the club are never involved in this kind of murky affair again.

That means insisting that transfers are the province of the manager, NOT chairman Gianni Paladini.

Maybe when Luigi de Canio, a coach with no knowledge of the English league, was in charge, it made sense for Paladini to recruit players, but it’s a very different matter now.

Not only is Neil Warnock one of the most experienced managers in the English game, he even appointed a QPR chief scout for the first time in years.

Getting the players Warnock wants has been key to Rangers’ success this season, but they have still continued to sign others he doesn’t particularly want. Pascal Chimbonda and Giorgios Tofas come to mind.

Yes, there have been some Paladini signings that have worked – but those are dwarfed by a lengthy list of disasters including Zesh Rehman, Nick Ward, Matteo Alberti, Alessandro Pellicori and literally dozens more.

How much more expensive could those blunders be at Premier League level? Make no mistake, it will be the manager, rather than Paladini, who shoulders the blame when things go wrong.

And let’s not forget who decided that the club could afford to dispense with their long-serving, well-respected secretary Sheila Marson – on whose watch the Faurlin fiasco would surely never have happened.

Incredibly, Paladini still seems to think he did nothing wrong. But the findings of the independent regulatory commission suggest otherwise – and have given QPR a second chance to put their house in order.

The club’s owners should be grateful for that. Now they are dining at the top table, they need to smarten up their act – and that means sidelining Paladini right now.

Agree mate, it's just opinion. No facts in there.
