Colinjb Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Documentary on QPR's rise to the Premier League. So far it's been utterly fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc1971 Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 (edited) Interesting so far, Flavio seems a ***t. looks comical the way they are trying to run QPR Edited 4 March, 2012 by sfc1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I wonder how similar Cortese is in different aspects concerning our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 It's a great insight into the workings of a football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 I wonder how similar Cortese is in different aspects concerning our club. I think he's handled it far better the more this documentary goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Briatore walks away, lets Amit Bhatia make an appointment, his first, and he chooses Warnock. Much better already without Flavio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Regarding Dexter being sent to Forest there... I was working at Staplewood when Dexter had been sold to QPR. He was a little bit reluctant to go, even though Burley had said that he'd told Dexter a long time before that if a good offer came in, he was off. Dexter was at the training ground, sat on a perimeter fence that surrounded the training pitch, with a black bin bag full of his stuff - Michael Poke then turned up and had a go at him about nicking his boots. The night it was confirmed that he was off, the press department were told by Wilde and Co not to break the story until QPR had done the same. We went first, and the head of press back then got a bit of a bollocking. I think it was before we beat Coventry 2 - 0 in the first home game of the 06/07 season. 2 - 0 win, Bale free kick and Rasiak penalty. Jim from Eastenders was on the pitch doing the entertainment before hand, which went down like a lead balloon with the staff at the time! A nice little story I thought I'd share!

Colinjb Posted 5 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Briatore really is an almight penis. (Is, not has.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Just goes to show how trigger happy some of these owners can be. That said, if your financing the operation, I guess you can do what the hello you like. Interesting stuff though.

Monk Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Flavio and Paladini, two complete and utter tossers. When Flavio left and Ammat? took over, you could see the club was in better hands, even if he was a bit cliche at times. Was a great watch though.

BadgerBadger Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Fascinating TV, I had to be up a 04:50 this morning but couldn't stop watching - Briatore and Paladini were like Laurel and Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Batia came out really well I thought, always very positive the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Its amazing we went up, we all thought Paladini and flav are ****s and hated them, all Flavs managers were rubbish and we succeeded as soon as his interference stopped. I also think Cortese is like that behind the scenes but he keeps it out of the spot light. Bhatia is the only one left at the club from that film. Bernie is a tight **** too, moaning that too much was spent on drinks. You can see why we called them Tango and Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Dowie was the best manager out of those 3, he had us playing some great stuff. Sousa had us playing some of the most boring football Ive ever witnessed, Magilton was just a nutter, literally. Paul hart is the only manager Ive seen get booed after getting a win, he was playing a 631 for the last 10 mins with a 1 goal lead. Lets face it, say Adkins left for Chelsea, would any of you want dowie, sousa, hart or Magilton to take over Saints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 Got round to watching it last night, excellent doc. Didn't think Briatorre was that bad, he cracked me up, what else would you expect from that type of Italian? Far worse was Palladini, playing different parties off against each other, pretending to know about football, yet not having a clue. Agree Bhatia came across really, really well. As did Warnock I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 And in terms of who came across worst on the programme, I'd suggest the never ending footage of utterly mongy QPR fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 what a bunch of nutters! make don cortese look gentile Had to LOL at the R's fans begging Briatore not to sell the club in the street, muppets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 Just watched it, very interesting! That Amit chap seemed to have his heart in the right place, but Briatore is a ****ing nut job. Surprised Dowie didn't knock the ****** out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 Also just finished watching it, interesting insight into how a football club is run. Or partly anyway. Bhatia came across really well, a level-headed person in a sea of billionnaire nutters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
