Questions, Questions, Questions-
A few questions re off-the-field issues...
1) Why is Ugo Ukah - a player whom QPR announced in May, had gone off to Italy - back at QPR?
2) Why did Chief Operating Officer, Graham Mackrell depart from QPR after less than three months? (There were reports in the Sun and Mail about Paladini unhappines with Mackrell over negotiating with Plymouth an end to Tim Breacker's contract)
3) Why was Tim Breacker kept on "Gardening Leave" for 300 days? What were the final terms under which he was allowed to join Plymouth? (It was never exactly clear why Breacker, and Gary Penrice were put on Gardening Leave, when Ian Holloway was)
4) AKUTRs: Why after protesting so vociferously and threatening legal action, was there no response from Gianni Paladini in the December issue of AKTRs? Apology
5) Why did QPR "part company with" Gary Waddock just a couple of weeks after saying he would be staying under John Gregory?
6) Why did Chief Financial Officer, Chris Pennington leave? And unlike some other staff departures - without any announcment of his departure, or of a replacement (Akin Yilmaz) coming in?
7) Whatever happened to the Club's declared intention at the beginning of August to demand a retraction from the Evening Standard re its claim that the training ground had been closed - Demand.
8) Any update or change to an August news story claiming that Chairman Paladini was being forced to wear a bullet-proof vest because of threats? And who were the threats from? See Mirror
9) Was the report in the Standard at the begining of October asserting that QPR had an unpaid police bill inaccurate? (Given that games have continued to be played at Loftus Road, this would seem to have been resolved, whatever the truth )
10) The QPR Statement last week: "Bank on US" - "QPR are delighted to announce that the club will be teaming up with Barclays Bank and Deloitte & Touche..."Bank What exactly is the Bank going to be doing at QPR?
11) Why was the squad permitted to get so large? Why were so many players bought in the summer before a number of the transfer listed players were actually moved off the books?
12) Any Chairman regrets about reportedly referring to an "enemy within" See Mirror or charging that there was "a tiny minority of people seem intent on damaging team morale and destroying the Club.." Official Site
And a "bonus question:" The perennial: Any update re the 10 Million Pound/10% ABC Loan
