To return to this theme: If they had just appointed a manager from the onset - Kept Gregory or someone else; given a budget for transfer fees and wages. Stood back and not interfered - at all.
Because add the money on transfer fees since Briatore took over. 6 milion? (Probably more just not going to coun)
The loan fees for players the manager(s) didn't want.
The high wages?
The managers and coaches wages (and paying them off)
That's a big pot. Could have been used better. So I certainly don't hold Briatore et al at major fault for not spending money. (A few million more would have been good. But not mass, mass)
I don't (on this thread) want to get into Paladini bashing. Just to focus on his Sporting Director view.
But he's not a CEO and he's not a soccer talent scout. He's an agent. And the qualities of an agent: Gregarious, persuasive, persisent, whatever terms you want to use. But he's not been someone who's showed himself to be a great QPR CEO. And he's not someone who uncovered great talent.
If the club wanted to keep him on: Leave him as figurehead Chairman would be ok. (I don't want to get into the old stuff. It was a new era/new beginning) But leave the "real football work" to a manager. In terms of results, I'm sure the owners would have been happier. And the fans would have been happier. And who knows, maybe even Paladini would have been happier.
