    I've just driven past St. Andrews and saw three contractors carrying a revolving door into the admin area.

    Just simply doing what he did at QPR, get them up on the cheapo and sell them on for a profit.

    Paladini doesn't live a million miles away. Fingers crossed it's true. Horrible club.

    They obviously made some money with QPR so looking to do it again.

    I am sure that there will be a lot of people queuing up for the manager's job. A few months work and then paid off.

    The only possible benefit to Birmingham will be if Briatore uses his contacts to bring in a wealthy backer. I'm glad the Goons fell out with the Mittals or an approach might have been made there.

    Flav did f*ck all directly to take us up - it was the Mittals good sense to bring in Warnock that was the catalyst

    Birmingham v Watford could end up like an all out mafia war.

    A club like any other in that, in the main, it's supported by normal, decent fans. No club deserves Paladini.

    You're more than likely right but having lived up there they mostly came across as utter ****s.

    Just as an academic exercise: lets pretend we have gone back in time 6 years or so and QPR are on the brink of going out of business. But we still know what we have since discovered about Briatori's motives and methods. Do we reject him or welcome him with open arms?

    Perhaps BC will welcome them with open arms as their present owner is in the loving arms of the Chinese police for money laundering
