Didn't this guy resign from the O2 to work for Bernie?

Some record he's got.

Just a whisker away from being formally announced..

It tells you about his career in the article.

Indeed.

That is mightly impressive! When Ian Taylor said on Twitter he was in the processing of writing some positive news he wasn't wrong at all. Great stuff!

I'm starting to believe we can be taken seriously again as a club - fingers crossed we will on the pitch as well!

Doesn't say he recently was employed by Bernie?

Just as the playing side might be about to get a whole lot better, so too the management. With all due respect to Paladini (and I don't want this to become yet another boring threat going over his record) even his greatest admirer would have to concede that their CVs don't compare.

Well he left The O2 in 2008 but continued to work for AEG until a couple of years ago as stated in the article. After that he started his own consultancy business advising leading sports clubs, sports bodies and associations on commercial and business strategy.

Where did you hear about any connection with Bernie? I can't find anything about that online.

My mistake Bernie had hired former O2 chief David Campbell

Being a bit Naive maybe, however did we ever have a proper CEO at QPR of late? Or was it just Bernie and Flavio working it!!

I thought it was Ishan? Or was he something else?

Not sure. All I do know is this guy appears to have a fantastic CV and must have some great contacts.

[SpankwiR]

I bet he's on some large coin.

I bet he's on some large coin.

If he brings in lucrative sponsorship and finds other ways of marketing the club and utilising the ground he will make that back many times over. Oh, and in being a little more rigorous over the paperwork...

If he brings in lucrative sponsorship

If he brings in anything less lucrative that our current sponsorship deal I'd say he's blagged his CV.
