Briatore: Steps down



Flavio Briatore has decided to step down as chairman of Queens Park Rangers and leaves the role with immediate effect.

The Loftus Road board has moved quickly to appoint Ishan Saksena as the Italian's successor.

Briatore joined the Rangers board in November 2007, having completed a takeover of the Championship club along with Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone.

He continues to be a shareholder, alongside Ecclestone, but feels he is unable to give the club the dedication they deserve.

"My three years as chairman of QPR have been an exciting and incredible experience," he told the club's official website.

AND IT GETS BETTER:-

Doubts over Paladini's future as QPR sporting director 
 
Gianni Paladini's future at troubled Championship club QPR is in doubt.

BBC Sport understands Paladini has offered his resignation as sporting director after being barracked by fans during Tuesday's loss against Ipswich.

The Italian is expected to continue in his role as club chairman until the end of next month, when his position is due to be reviewed.

It will then be decided whether Paladini will have any further involvement at Loftus Road.

Paladini, a former agent, bought a stake in QPR in 2004.

He took control the following year after a boardroom dispute led to the ousting of Bill Power as chairman and chief executive Mark Devlin.

Paladini remained as club chairman after a Flavio Briatore-led takeover in August 2007, and was later handed the additional title of sporting director.

Co-owner Briatore, who is chairman of the club's parent company, QPR Holdings, has been criticised following a series of problems on and off the pitch.

Paladini, who has had a major influence over transfer deals, has also come under fire.

QPR are currently 17th in the table - only two points off the relegation zone - and have lost their last four games.

Mick Harford has been in caretaker charge since Paul Hart departed last month after only five matches at the helm.

Hart was Rangers' eighth manager since 2006 and their sixth since Briatore's arrival.

Couldn't happen to a nicer set of fans, as Nelson Muntz would say "ha-ha" http://www.rpi.edu/~markhn/sounds/haha.wav

I don't like seeing the hopes and dreams of any club be so poorly used. But on the other hand they gave us no support and relished picking over our bones more than any so called rivals fans. So you reap what you sew.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

err, fellas, this is horrible news. these two jokers couldn't run a 10 yard sprint let alone a football club, meanwhile mittel who's a decent footballing guy has more control.
