Was it a mistake Gianni leaving the club....

Eh? Agree with the others but Padula was class for us! One of my favourite players down the years

As stated previous refers to his final season where the manager at the time (think Holloway) said he never wanted him anymore but Paladini gave him a new contract behind the managers back to help him get a morgage, if I recall right,of which he never played and it cost the club bundles as we ended up paying it up in full, or those were the rumours!!

Was it an oversight or did Gianni misleading fans and media by inflating Faurlin's transfer fee sparking the farce of an FA inquiry and record £4m fine not considered worthy of merit.

Or there was the whole gun in the directors box saga in which the judge described, with some incredulity, Paladini as an unreliable witness when it came to being consistent with the truth. Under the harsh media scrutiny of the prem league we'd be even more of a laughing stock than we are now.

Nice guy, but ultimately a spiv.

What a silly argument bringing up the court case. What the same way a lawyer was able to prove John Terry was not a racist? Like both cases, we know in a court of law proving guilt is one thing, but it does not mean it did not happen.

As for the original question, I feel the Premiership and Gianni would not have been a perfect match. I do feel that worthy contributions like a wage cap and not being sold into every other agent on the market would have prevented us being in this mess, but the calibre of players brought in might not have kept us up anyway. Faurlin was one big hit and we have already sold on players that could have done a job, but its a massive step going from the Championship to the Premiership. Actually, we needed someone like Flavio with his tight wallet and a more flamboyant person like TF who could have worked alongside him. No doubting the passion of TF but he has basically been led up the garden path by Hughes and Co.

I'd imagine the plans have now found the nearest shreeder?

Seriously! The king is back, long live the king.

Hard to not get personal when the main objection to him was, well, personal.

He is a slimy, weasely git who was only interested in furthering his own ambition. He cared as much about QPR as Joey Barton does. We are WELL rid.
