Recent rumours update

Mercedes Benz?
On Thursday, QPR 1st contacted Gianni Paladini to ask if he could shed any light in relation to recent rumours that have been circulating.
When asked about the recent rumour involving the delivery to Loftus Road of four Mercedes cars, GP's response was to say that there were no new Mercedes purchased by or associated with the club through any deal.
The Trust rep did mention to him that the original supporter who raised this issue was known to her and that this person is not the kind to concoct imaginings up, and GP reiterated that he had no knowledge of any new Mercedes, that he has no idea how this rumour started, and went on to say that he owns his own car which was purchased before he had joined QPR.
GP was also asked if any bids had come in recently for the club (to purchase) and he denied this, saying there had been "no bid" and "no bid for �12m", saying that if this had been the case then he and the other directors are not stupid, they would not stand in the way of someone coming in with money to take the club forward, that he would step aside for the good of Queens Park Rangers, and that he would buy a ticket and be happy to just watch the football. But until that time comes he said he wants to finish the job he started, and to do his utmost that we remain a Championship side.
When asked about the possibility of a restructure of the ABC loan, GP commented how/the board did not want to disappoint fans, that there is the possibility of a restructure before the five year end clause comes into effect, but that he could not say too much about it at the present moment. He did say how Deloitte and Touche have been helping with this and that they have also compiled their first report on the club economics and that Antonio Caliendo and himself were happy with it.
GP also mentioned briefly about the Dean Parrett situation (this was the day before yesterday which was before the announcement was made about Dean's move to Tottenham), saying that a deal was going through; there was nothing he could do about it as Dean is a schoolboy; that there are rules within the FA that have to be complied with; and that the thing they were working on was compensation for QPR, which he mentioned would amount to a significant figure.
Our thanks to Gianni Paladini and if anyone has anything they'd like to raise/comment on in relation to the above then please get in touch on the usual email address; info@qpr1st.co.uk
