How we do our business

Nope - it's well known that BE and FB are made of Teflon in media circles. Nothing sticks, and believe me, many have tried over the past 15-20 years.

Exactly. So if they were implicit or complicit in allowing fraudulent transfers they would be piling in like lions round an antelope's carcass.

Exactly. So if they were implicit or complicit in allowing fraudulent transfers (because that's clearly what the insinuation is) they would be piling in like lions round an antelope's carcass.

Ease up son, you're way of the mark. There is absolutely no insinuation of fraud, so you'd do well to edit or delete your post.

There's a big difference between incompetence/limited savvy and fraud.

[NewarkR]

So what's the insinuation about using the same agency about then?

Plenty of anti-GP posters are happy to keep mentioning it. Why do they?

[IsleworthRanger]

The insuations constantly made regarding the alledged use of the Base agency are that some form of fraudulant activity is or has taken place either by Paladini or the club in general and so dont take us all for mugs by backtracking quickly.

I am not anti GP, I just would like to know what he does for QPR FC and what are the terms of repayment for the interest free loan he received. Simple questions that should not need to be asked.

I've edited my post. So you can delete yours and answer my last question.

Fair enough. I would agree.

But I was talking about the seemingly constant mentioning of a certain agency.

How Many players do we have from that agency?

How players do they have?

Not at all by me Isleworth. And I know a fair few Base agents quite well too.

My concern solely revolves around the lack of knowledge and scope around the scouting network. Reliance on one source (and it is - just look at the signings and rumoured signings and attempted signings over the past 18 months all point to far more than a co-incidence) is inherently wrong. We could be missing out on so many other opportunities and players - its allowed our scouting network to dissolve into nothing and, as I've banged on on a number of occassions, provides plenty of ammunition for those who may wish to pursue differing agenda's (especially tied in with the loss of an experienced club secretary).

The scouting system desperately needs sorting.

[paulmason]

I did not know about this until I read on here that most of our signings were via the same agency. It may be a coincidence, but you must admit it sounds strange.

Remember Avery John 30 something American forward we was linked to,hes on the books of base soccer.

[NewarkR]

According to their website, Lee Cook is our only player there.

Though Jack Wilshere would be nice.

[paulmason]

Nodge - The scouting system sucks from the U7's up and there does not seem to be any checks and balances in place either. Why would a football club not want an experienced club secretary, when every other club finds a use for one.

[NewarkR]

Who links these players to us?

I'm sure they're pitched to us, doesn't mean we're interested.
