Villain of the Day
FLAVIO BRIATORE - On the opposite end of the scale is Queens Park Rangers co-owner Flavio Briatore, who last night sacked manager Paolo de Souza after just 26 games in charge of the London club. The 38-year-old Italian explained over the weekend that the club's owners had arranged Dexter Blackstock's recent loan to Nottingham Forest without his knowledge, and in a statement the club claimed that they were acting as a direct consequence of this. "Queens Park Rangers Football Club has today had to terminate Paulo De Souza's employment with the Club with immediate effect. It came to the Club's attention that Mr De Souza had, without authority, divulged highly confidential and sensitive information. The Club, with legal advice, responded in this way to protect its position." De Souza is the third manager Briatore has seen off since buying the club in November 2007, having already ditched Luigi De Canio and Iain Dowie.
