And first time for a long time I recall Paladini being described as thisQPR Official Site - HAROLD WINTONPosted on: Tue 09 Feb 2010 It is with deep regret that the Club has learned of the passing of Honorary Life President Harold Winton. Winton passed away last night after a five year battle against cance-r As a mark of respect, the Club will be holding a minute's silence prior to our Coca Cola Championship fixture against Ipswich Town at Loftus Road this evening. QPR Holdings Ltd Chairman, Gianni Paladini, told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "We are all extremely saddened to hear of Harold's passing. "He was a true QPR fan, who not only supported the Club through thick and thin, but also helped assist in helping secure the services of Doudou, Dan Shittu and Marc Bircham. "He was a true gentleman and he will be missed by everyone at the Club." The thoughts of the Club are with the Winton family and their friends at this difficult time. May he rest in peace. www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1959925,00.html

Good to hear from the club...
As for Paladini is that not actually incorrect? I thought Flavio was Chairman of QPR Holdings Limited and Paladini of the Club?
Could be wrong....

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, QPR Holdings Ltd Chairman, Flavio Briatore, expressed his delight at Magilton's arrival, ..."

I think you're right *(unless there's been a change!) Not according to the Staff Directory, but then again we all know how good they are at keeping that up to date.....

Could be regarding the fit & proper persons test? Although how a guy who has lied under oath is fit and proper I don't know! How the succession of Pompey owners are fit & proper would be interesting to look into as well!

And updated/edited/corrected QPR OFficial Statement (without acknowledging correction! Paladini losing the title "QPR Holdings Ltd Chairman, Gianni Paladini," (Now whether that was an error or just premature disclosure...!)

Or take the same words and just put them into the mouth of Briatore!
I imagine that to the degree his sons take any solace in the nice comments expressed about the man, it's the words of QPR Fans big and small that will be most valued. Because these fans truly appreciate what was done. And what was felt.

More importantly, they have acted quickly, a minute's appreciation of his life may have been more appropriate but that's simply an opinion, they've got something right.
