Shall I, shan't I? - "Briatore Speaks"

[froggyranger]

[QPR Report Edit of the Subject. Hope that's ok]

In ba club lounge at Heathrow t5 at mo, briatore sitting opposite me woffling into his phone. Am sorely tempted to ask him about his involvement with the club still but the wife is telling me to leave him alone.

Looking very scruffy as well

[Macmoish]

Do it...Chance in a lifetime. But be polite/friendly. Not confrontational.

[Captain Clunge]

Tell him you're a £20 fan, and you'd like to know why he's slumming it with you, and not on a private jet?

[klr]

I reckon you should go bounding up to him & then launch in to a "Come On You Suupah........................................." as loud as you can.

[harlowranger]

Go on Froggy nice and gently does it ! Tell him your an international QPR supporter and lay it on thick ! Say Grand Prix is your second sport and take the wife with you will look better if a couple! Think he will spill you a few beans , you will have post olf the year if succesful!

[froggyranger]

Ok I nabbed him as he got up to leave.

He was very polite and we chatted for a couple of minutes.

1. Said that he and Bernie still owned 70 percent and the mittals 20 or 30 (didn't quite hear
clearly enough).
2. Him and Bernie have no intention of selling at the moment. And that a lot of rubbish has been
written in the press about them selling.
3. Appointed Ishan as he realized it was necessary for him to take a step back.
4. Very happy with how it is going generally at the club at the mo.
5. Doesn't know yet how serious buzaky's injury is.
6. Agrees that we have missed Faurlin but says he will be back in the team tomorrow evening.

All in all he came across as polite and willing to chat.

[harlowranger]

Well done congratulations on a top job !
If he said that he realised that it was necessary for him to take a step back , then i think thats
the closest to him admitting he got it totally wrong !
Hoping that the FAURLIN is true and he plays Tomorrow
Good work and dont sell your story to the local rag!

Thanks....Hopefully that's Briatore Knowing what's going to happen and not Briatore telling Warnock who will be playing

Darn...Could have blown this "interview" into a site promotional to attract hits. (And, to paraphrase Henry Kissinger, THIS Flavio interview would have had "the added advantage of being true.")

* Assuming...

Great stuff froggy, always knew he was a nice bloke! ;D

[toboboly]

A number of people said he still owned a shedload of shares.........

[harlowranger]

Um 70 % thats a shed , a lock up and 2 rows of big yellow self storage !

[Markqpr]

Excellent stuff Froggy!

Nice one.

With Ecclestone and Briatore retaining the majority shares and the Kingfisher deal only being a tender for sponsorship in reality, we at least have a clear vision of what the future holds.

What was all that bollocks concerning Bhatia and or Mittal buying more shares and taking over the majority and therefore controlling interest about?

Shame on me for being fooled again.

[klr]

Answer to question 6 is a little bit worrying IMO!

[blockhead]

well done froggy, I know what I would have done, bugger all!

[Lonegunmen]

You forgot to ask the most important question of all Froggy....When is the other Two Penny Spiv going to be fired?

[froggyranger]

Just got back home from my flight. Briatore was on the same flight (no doubt going to Monaco).
Anyway off to bed now as it's late and the wife is knackered.

[Lonegunmen]

Good job Froggy.

[londonranger]

How was his wife? Less scruffy than he would think.

Hi London, he wasn't with his wife, I was with my wife!

[cpr]

There was a snippet in the mail today about him not liking the coffee in Windsor and suggesting they fly off to Venice for one. However, unless you are the spit of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, he wasn't suggesting it to you! ;D

[Zamoraaaah]

Good work Froggy.

Shouldn't the title read;

Briatore's Exclusive Interview with QPR Report Message Board

That's what QBP would do

[daveb76]

will Flavio be sacking himself for leaking such sensitive info to a fan?

[Lonegunmen]

G-man would sack the Orange Donut for leaking information before he had a chance to.

"...Agrees that we have missed Faurlin but says he will be back in the team tomorrow evening." - Did he know...Was it a good guess? (Or was it his decision? (Start the rumour... )
