QPR's Italian owners want to sell  
 
Paladini ousted Bill Power in 2005
QPR chairman Gianni Paladini says the club's Italian owners are ready to sell up for about £4m.
Paladini says he will sell his stake for the £650,000 he paid for it when he joined the board in 2004.

Fellow investors Antonio Caliendo and Franco Zanotti are also believed to be prepared to accept the price they paid for their larger stakes.

Paladini said: "We've taken the club as far as we can and don't have the money to take it further."

Between them, Paladini, Caliendo and Zanotti own about 62% of the Championship club.

Paladini added: "We need new investment and new people to take QPR forward. We just want the club to succeed.

"If the right people are there and can show they would be good for QPR, then there is no way we would try to stop them."

Rangers have been plagued by problems on and off the pitch since Paladini and Caliendo took control in 2005 following a bitter power struggle.

Caliendo has loaned the club a substantial amount in order to prevent it from going into administration.

Paladini insists this money will only be repayable should QPR make a profit by reaching the Premiership, and should not be a barrier to a takeover.

But any new owner would have to deal with ongoing losses and 11.59% interest repayments on a £10m loan a previous regime at Loftus Road arranged to take the club out of administration in 2002.

"When we came here the club was in a very bad position," Paladini added.

"Things are better now but we've done all we can and someone else is needed to take things forward.

"As long as they can show they have the money to improve QPR for the future, then I won't be looking for anything more from them than what I paid for my shares. Anything more should go into the club."

"I keep hearing people didn't want Bill to go and think he should come back. This is their chance," said Paladini.

What would you do?

Its the heart versus head scenerio. Put money into the club you love and support being qpr, or put your money into a club that has the possiblity to be a huge club in the future?

With this board now in charge, BP is getting frustrated. I await the statement....

That would be the sit-on-the-fence party?  I don't get the impression Bill Power is the sort to bugger off halfway through the fight.

In all honesty I would probably say, "Fuck Swindon, I'm going back to QPR. They are my club and they want me"

Or words to that effect :?

When i read that this morning I was slightly worried, it would obviously leave a massive problem if it happened, however I'm not sure is BP would wanna go back there.

it's hard for us to speculate on his ongoing relationships with members of the qpr board, not just the italians, but other senior members and any other large shareholders.

The only plus point is that QPR are so much in debt to the dodgy Panama based finance company that it would take a serious amount of muscle to get them back onto an even keel.  Plus didn’t Bill state in his Agincourt-esque days, hours and minutes speech in the Adver that he had already been approached to become involved with QPR again but had to turn the offer down?

Personally in his position you’d have to be close to fucking it all off having been messed about so much.
