Some very interesting points you should know.

Got to say that for the most part this has been an interesting discussion conducted in a respectful manner by all posters to each other and may it continue

I have absolutely no doubt that Jeffro posted what he was told in good faith and to be honest I have no idea if the facts are true or not but the whole thread makes for a good read

Yes mate, it's good to have decent discussions without it turning into a big slanging match fella. Must be something in the water!

Tis the way these things should be

[Jeffro]

Anyway I've passed on what I have been told from a very good source, and as others have said like Isle, at least its been respectful convo.
Last one from me on this one.

The thing is Scott the point you seem to over look is Warnock is a pretty good judge of character and there is no reason why he wouldn't of missed the fact that Paladini is a chancer and incompetent. You assume that everything you hear is gospel about a man who is known lier and fabricator of the truth.

My take on it is Warnock had Palaldini sussed from day one, knew off not only Briatores interference but what role Paladini plays in all this and had water tight contract drawn up by the Mittals which give him complete say in transfer dealings.

What Warnock says in the media or the impression you think is truth is nailed on to be different behind closed doors. You get fed info via twitter and a few freeloaders associated with the club I don't believe your finger is on the pulse. Since Pete has ****ed off you have been slowly starting to fill the void. It was inevitable that you would come on here and for what its worth defend Paladini.

Put this into perspective Paladini's incompetence probably nearly gave Warnock a stomach ulcer the back end of last season with the Faurlin saga. You are very naive to assume that the pair are allies, Warnock is not stupid he'll look around at the likes of Vine, Ageymang, Cook, Pellicori, Alerti and know what a drain Paladinis transfer dealings have had on the clubs resources. I'm nice to people all the time at work with I don't like but it doesn't mean I don't think they're a **** behind closed doors....its called professionalism (something Paladini knows **** all about).

A very astute post, all except the highlighted bit.

I'm not trying to have a dig here what I am saying is put things into perspective. Warnock is one of the most respected managers in the game and is very competent at what he does. He knows Paladini serves no purpose, as he is a real football manager. You can give Warnock a budget and he can negotiate contracts, if Warnock needs players he has team of scouts, if Warnock needa a favour he has a list of contacts as long as your arm.

Now you explain to me why he should be gratfeul to have Paladini at the club because as far as what I can see the man is just getting in the way, he serves no purpose.

In the past the slightest rumbling that a 'coach' has been getting out of his pram and Paladini has demostrated a keeness to have them removed but he can't do that with Neil because our Warnock is far to canny for him.

Another very astute post.

[Stanley]

No worries. I post what I hear whether the lemmings like it or not.

Lemmings?...which lemmings are you referring to?

[Stanley]

However, as flavio et al clearly say - Neil coaches, they do the deals.

Except you've omitted the bit about Neil having final veto powers of which players come in, haven't you?

[Stanley]

Please re read what I put, I don't doubt that they ever had a very good working relationship before, but they had a Massive falling out back end of last season, and it isn't all as rosy as people seem to think.

...yes, all according to your source of course.

[Stanley]

warnock stands to lose too much by jacking-is grinning and bearing it for obvious reasons. his book will make interesting reading when he retires(along with others).

Ian Dowie's book will be a fascinating read too WRT his treatment by Briatore.

[Stanley]

Warnock's stock cannot be higher than it is now. If he wanted to move on he could and get a very good job. That's why I can't understand why he would stay if any of these things are true and it's as bad as some people make out.
I don't think Neil and Paladini are best mates but they must have a reasonable working relationship otherwise one of them would go. History has shown that if Warnock is not happy, he moves on.

Another reason why he doesnt want to move on is because he's said he wanted this to be his last job before he retires...his wife has been on at him about that too...spending more time with the grandkids and all that before he gets too old. Thats why he wants to make as big a success of this job as possible.

All Neil's own words.

You're on a mission today Stanley!

I met up with Paladini in his office at the ground in late June to discuss a favour. This is where I saw the three new shirts for the season. We chatted for the best part of an hour about the club, he gave the impression that he was not happy with a lot of things at the club, but one thing he was more than happy with and spoke very highly of was the manager, Neil Warnock. This was no ********, as one thing that you find with the guy if you spoke to him is that he engages the mouth before the brain. Now don't get me wrong, I have never been a fan of the guy, but I am always willing to give someone a fair chance, and I also believe that there are mitigating circumstances regarding the Faurlin affair that lay at the feet of T&C.

Worth considering.
Got a bit lost in the war of words on here.

Simple reason for that is, look who hasn't been posting on the thread.
