Did anyone fail to spot our famous board member East Paddock Nutta on the box after Helgussons opener, no top on, scaring any young children in the vicinity, disgraceful!
You have to almost admire Gianni Paladini for the way he has attached himself limpet like to Queens Park Rangers Football Club, I thought he was a leech, definately more limpet like.
I think that the "mistakes" are likely to be more highly scrutinised in The Premiership than they have been in the las few years, so if we dont become more professional now then we never will be, no dodgy transfers, no transfer deals with "associates" or "friendly" agents, none of the "mistakes" of the past, for once its time to wipe the slate clean & give us the best chance possible in the Premier League & none of the avoidable nonsense that has plagued us for the last several years.
I have no doubt that the players & management will give it their best shot & step up to the plate next season & lets not have anyone behind the scenes be in the position whereby they can jeopardise that.

Lessons to be learnt by all in this case;
The club needs to be vigilant in all future dealings, especially when agents and foreign based players are involved. Sure we got away with a points deduction but we are still just under 900k poorer as a result (which I will take under the circumstances). This should never have happened.
The club needs to take a serious look at Paladini.
Thank heavens we had sealed promotion & the title last week. You could see by the performance today that the past week had taken its toll - imagine if we had all this uncertainty and we still needed points to go up. The FA should have resolved this issue months ago but chose to drag it on and on and on and..... So unnecessary and so unfair (and not just to all linked at QPR).
Talking matters FA, they need to become a professional outfit - or disband and replaced by people who are. UEFA are right - the FA are a shambles (in fact they are worse than that).
It is about time people get the facts, analyse those facts and base their reports on thsose facts. If no facts are available, or they are insufficient to work on, then they should rather shut up and keep their opinions to themselves. Palios, Gray, Keys, the Sun et al have all egg on their faces - and all because they thought they knew it all.

Oh one other lesson;
Make sure you have the best lawyers around who know what they are doing. I have no doubts that that was a huge factor in this case.

Maybe Gianni is not responsible...But surely someone or someones are responsible. Whoever he/she/they are...well it's clear what needs to be done.

I certainly think that for Gianni to be involved from this point on in to the future in any kind of transfer activity on behalf of the club or any kind of offficial club activity where there are financial inducements to be had, would be not only insulting, but offensive to the vast majority of QPR fans.
I'm hoping for someone professional like Amit Bhatia to step in and say OK, we have made some mistakes, but this is how we are going to do things from now on. That's what I'm hoping for, otherwise that nagging feeling is always going to be there & the next "mistake" is always going to be around the next corner.

Gianni "A lot of unfair things have been going on. We did nothing wrong. But it's all over now. I never felt guilty about anything because I did nothing wrong."
Strange! We're fined almost a million pounds (+ costs to pay) but we did nothing wrong?
Yes be exuberant and ebulient that we got off with no points deduction. But not exactly a moral exoneration!
SPORTING LIFE
WARNOCK SHEDS TEARS OF JOY
Neil Warnock was in tears at the news his Queens Park Rangers side could finally celebrate promotion to the Barclays Premier League.
QPR got their hands on the npower Championship trophy, a week after they clinched it, following the Football Association's announcement that they would not be docked points over the Alejandro Faurlin affair.
The club were instead fined £875,000 after being found guilty of two of the seven charges facing them surrounding the alleged third-party ownership of the Argentine midfielder.
Once fears of potential 15-point penalty were not realised, a belated promotion party began and could not even be spoiled by a 2-1 defeat against Leeds.
"Over the last seven weeks or eight weeks I have never had such a tough task, so to steer us through is the best job I've done," said Warnock, toasting the seventh promotion of his career.
"To deal with it without being able to comment has been difficult, especially for me! A lot of the lads, myself included, were in tears in the dressing room when we heard.
"Everyone, one by one, went up to Alejandro and hugged him. It was great."
The FA have been heavily criticised for not hearing the case until the final week of the season and then delaying the verdict, leaving the club sweating on the outcome long after they had secured promotion.
Yet somehow, their timing was impeccable as an hour before kick-off, the news from Wembley filtered through and suddenly Loftus Road was rocking.
Midfielder Shaun Derry said: "When we heard it was more relief than anything else, it gave us such a lift.
"We were worried but we were given assurances, although when it's nagging in the back of your mind it's awful."
Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini, the man who brought Faurlin to west London in 2009, told the BBC: "After so many years, we deserve to be where we are.
"A lot of unfair things have been going on. We did nothing wrong. But it's all over now. I never felt guilty about anything because I did nothing wrong."
The fine is a drop in the ocean compared to the fortunes promotion will bring, and certainly small change to their billionaire co-owner Bernie Ecclestone.
The Grand Prix chief, speaking in Turkey ahead of Saturday's race, said: "It would have been terrible if it had been anything else. It wouldn't have been fair, so I think they (the FA) have acted correctly with what they've done."

Well firstly, in the small chance he is reading this, Thank you Mr Ian Mills  I was actually sitting in Loftus Road when I heard the news. There was suddenly a lot of people cheering for what I though was no reason until I looked on my phone for early team news, only to find the FA statement. That was the moment it really sunk in for me - We really are a Premier League team again!! I too noticed the boo's for Paladini and if I'm going to be honest, I did do a bit of booing myself. |
