Post by QPR Report on Aug 30, 2009 7:21:10 GMT
Four years ago, today, Offering his persepctive for the first time on the official site after his Boardoom "coup" a couple of days previously, Gianni Paladini (not yet officially the new Chairman) offered this statement:
QPR Official Site - August 30, 2005
BRIGHT FUTURE
Gianni Paladini has promised a bright future for Queens Park Rangers following the changes at Boardroom level last week.
Bill Power is no longer Chairman and Mark Devlin's position as Chief Executive was made redundant following a Board meeting at Loftus Road.
But the Director insists that the decisions taken were made with only the Club's interest at heart and he has played down suggestions of turmoil at the highest level.
"I am still friends with Bill. We go out for lunch and we talk on the phone every day. I have no problem with Bill.
"This is not about individuals or personalities, it is about the future of this great Club and all of us - Bill included -want nothing more than to see QPR continue to grow and improve."
Paladini is also sympathetic with supporters who may have been worried about the situation.
He appreciates that the supporters are concerned and has stressed that their feelings are at the forefront of his mind.
"The supporters are what makes this Club great and from the moment I arrived at Loftus Road I have been overwhelmed by their passion and devotion.
"All supporters will worry when they see change and I can understand that. But I believe that change was necessary for long term stability.
"The investors and directors are ambitious - I am ambitious - but we are not turning things upside down. We are going to make sensible steady progress and take Rangers back to where we belong - the Premiership."
Paladini also believes that the root of stability lies with the manager and that is why he hopes to sit down with Ian Holloway this week to discuss a new contract.
"Ollie is responsible for so much that has happened here during the past few years. Our successes on the pitch are down to him and he should be rewarded accordingly."
Three Years Ago...August 30, 2006
Rowlands' New Contract...Paladini on Moving Players Out (Ben Kosky/Kilburn Times)-
QPR will make at least one key signing ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline - with Martin Rowlands set to commit himself to the club until 2010.
Rowlands is due to sign a three-year contract by the end of the week,...But there are unlikely to be any new arrivals at Loftus Road before the transfer window closes, unless Rangers can first reduce their squad of 33 players.
Of the eight players transfer-listed at the end of last season, only Ian Evatt has so far left the club on a six-month loan to Blackpool.
Out of favour striker Stefan Moore has joined Rangers' next Carling Cup opponents, Port Vale, on an initial month's loan, while midfielder Tommy Doherty is also a likely candidate for a temporary move.
QPR chairman Gianni Paladini said: "We want to keep our best players, especially the younger ones. But it's also very important we offload two or three players.
"If we do that, maybe we can go back in for a new full-back. It isn't easy to move players on, though, if they are happy just to sit and draw their wages.
"I don't understand that - it doesn't do them any good whatsoever. When your job is to be a footballer and you're not getting in the team, it makes more sense to go somewhere you can play football..."
Two Years Ago: August 30, 2007- Further Board Departures-
[No longer listed as Directors of QPR: Antonio Caliendo, Olga Paladini, and Franco Zanotti. Akin Yilmaz is also no longer listed as Financial Controller.] (The previous week: Tthree board directors, Nick De Marco, James Ferrary and Kevin Steele departed]/
QPR Official Site - Staff Directory
Chairman - Gianni Paladini
Club Secretary - Sheila Marson
Financial Controller - Mark Cooke
[And also august 30, 2007: After Many Months QPR's Tony Roberts Finally No Longer Listed as QPR's Goalkeeping Coach-
As noted on QPR Report at the time:
"Many, many months after reportedly having left QPR, QPR's goalkeeping coach (and current Dagenham first team goalie) Tony Roberts has finally ceased - without comment - to be listed on the QPR Staff Directory."

cheers for that.
Almost forgot, what a good job the guy has done under such enormous pressure from the fans, who wanted to see him fail.

And I think most of the critics or sceptics Thought he might not be very good. But certainly didn't WANT him to fail. Because a Paladini failure was bad for QPR. |

I think you did, and still do.
That is life.
Club does well, we don't hear a peep, lose and out of the woodwork all the negative spindoctors work over-time.
By the club doing well and winning games, its simply leaves not much room to manouvere. Thank god, we have two weeks, when the negative spin doctors and usual suspects go into hibernation.
After all, we won a game away.

And I'm not sure who you'd characterize as "negative spindoctors" or "usual suspects' But you certainly cannot suggest I've been quiet on QPR Report blog or messageboard. |

No, you do it get a reaction. Which is fine, thats the art of getting messageboard posters. Enjoy tonight, as it will be the last time I post on this site for a very long time ;D  |

Pete, you are a total moron if you think that people want to see QPR fail.
And that kind of spat you just had at report does you no credit.
All views are welcome on QPR it is just you that can not see why some feel that the culture and manner of the way the club is run needs to change.
It has nothing to do with winning games we all want Rangers to win, to come on and say that too report or any R's fan is so childish.

That is all do not try and start something else out of it.

Okay, cards on the table.
I think if we lose it justifies yours and others opinions, that the club is not being run properly, when we win its very difficult to convey that message because many don't take any notice.
I'd put you down as a negative supporter (not neccesarily a realist), who thrives on us losing. Thats the message you convey, whether you mean it or not.
for example, if jay Simpson proves a success I'm guessing that you won't focus on it, but if he proves a dud, your be screaming from the rooftops what a bad deal for the club he is. If, I am wrong then I apologise, but thats the way many fans perceive it.

I'm not sure if you were responding to me or to Finney (or to both) Purely in terms of vistors to my blog/messageboard, I'd say winning games actually brings in more visitors, cos people like to read about success. Of course, We ALL probably have our Image/perception issues, Pete! |

Report i am not having a person like him saying R's fans want their own club to fail that is so out of order.
And shows that Pete is off his mind if he thinks that is true.
anyway i am off to work now so mike sorry for even trying to debate with that fool on here.

You go to work and think over what I have said.
It makes sense.
As I said, if I am wrong than happy to take it on the chin.
for example, if jay Simpson proves a success I'm guessing that you won't focus on it, but if he proves a dud, your be screaming from the rooftops what a bad deal for the club he is. If, I am wrong then I apologise, but thats the way many fans perceive it.
Unlikely to get an answer, but you know what I mean.

Pete - If regards to loser fans wanting to see QPR lose every game ? So how would you define predictionists, example; poster threads - predict the score or people that go watch the match,listen on transistor, tv & bet on QPR ?
Would they be considered true fans, realist fans (bordering on negative) or Anti-QPR ?

Oh dont you just love that Pete? The man who was delighted when he and his moronic band of puppets got Sousa the sack. the man no fans can remember pre paladinis arrival, the man caught selling paladinis comp tickets, .The same bloke who drinks with paladini after matches, who automatically denies all the boards wrong doings within seconds, who picks on certain players to try and force them out of the team the same bloke who openly slags off other supporters then hides behind his key board, and his little band of boy rats on a saturday......thank god there is another message board you wont be posting on, now despised on dot org, Lfw, indy rs, here and probably others ive never heard of, you are a sad sad man who has become a joke figure amongst rangers fans, at least most rangers fans who express an opinion have been life long fans, or known by others for years travelling up and down the country (Finney etc) at least now your showing some balls by staying off another site, keep your bile for your masters site, and enjoy it whilst you can, cos that crook wont last forever  |

That is right Pete come on smear people and run.
Like the time that you said that one of indyrs ripped off QPR fans when it was not even him selling the stuff on line and never had the good grace to say sorry.
What you do Pete is smear people and then when the facts prove that you are a liar you feck off.
That post about wanting the R's to lose is just snide shite and you know it.

Besides my own response about which another time, I would think that the people at Indys would have a somewhat different view to that. On the other hand, I can easily think of two other QPR websites which might make a lot of sense to merge  |

Funny you say that Pete i think you may want to have a word with a fellow mod on you're site who posted up a link to a chelsea match report maybe you missed it but it was up for two hours. bit of an odd thing to do that now i would not have been too shocked if that person put up a Man Utd match report but chelsea? |

I love as well the way Pete has a message for the moaners.
And how they want to see QPR lose and fail.
Dear oh dear plot and lost comes to mind.
Also he says he never booed Stefen Moore er well Pete if you had of been around and seen Morrow and Slade Moore looked almost Pele like to them...

Well, I saw us get stuffed at Preston 5-0 and cannot remember you there?
Come to think of it, never saw you at Selhurst Park when we got beat 5-0 with players like Ready and Morrow at the back.
Glad to know, you know everyone at QPR, and have done for the last 30 odd years.

Try supporting QPR instead of Gianni Paladini for a change & people may take you a little bit more seriously.
Although I fear it may be a little bit late in the day for that.

Pete i was at Preston and the Wimbledon game.
Also was there when we got done. at Plough lane as well.
You're a bit quick to think i was not there fella.
Oh and we won the league cup in 67 not 68 like you posted ........but i was not at that game.

Because I don't concur with your beliefs?
This board and Indy'r board are in a minority and the day you realise that, will be better for all of us.
I support QPR, no-one else.
I don't wait for a defeat to try and gather some kind of momentum to undermine the board and the players at the club. It seems some glean enormous satisafction when we do lose.
Don't give the arguement it doesn't. We don't hear a peep out of people like you when we win, it doesn't work. Being so anti the club, does not go hand in hand with your beliefs if we win football matches.
