Today was supposed to be an ordinary day. Instead in the space of a couple of hours, the actions of Ecclestone and probably Briatore and Paladini couldnt have made me angrier. Firstly the increase in season tickets and home match prices whilst expected in outrageous. How they can ask people to pay ã47 minimum for restricted views in seats that arent designed to accomodate anyone over the size of 4 ft is beyond belief. They are essentially asking us to pay for top 5 football which is not what we are going to be. I will firmly stick my neck on the line here and say that we will finish 11th at best this season. Now the decision to sack Saksena and as a result the resignation of Bhatia is quite frankly pathetic. In one season at the club, theyve managed to turn around the god awful mess created by Paladini and Briatore, appoint a manager who stayed and got the best out of his players, won promotion, fought off the legal case created by the actions of Paladini, stop the constant influx of foreign crap to the club who's agents are friends of Paladini and Briatore and most importantly just leaving the manager and his staff to get on with their job. So after a successful season, both of them have left the club. One was fired which makes quite frankly no sense as Saksena must have significantly overachieved on whatever clauses where in his contract. Its like sacking the MD of your company after he's turned a ã10 million loss in a ã10 million profit. And as a result and due to "a whole list of reasons" Bhatia has left the club. So what more damage can the club do? Well I for one, would not be at all surprised to see a whole host of stories in the next few days from the club stating that Sakhsena was fired for breaking a "club policy" and Bhatia has chosen to stand down to focus his interests elsewhere. This summer should have been about celebration as the R's made their trip back up into the top flight as well as the long-awaited departures of Briatore, Eccelstone and Paladini from the club. Instead in the space of a day, they have removed the stepping stones of which last seasons success was founded. Lets just hope for one that Warnock stays and that Mittal attempts to buy the club again
Mittal won't be buying, their interest in that is over. Whether he stays as a 'sleeping' partner' and is able to buy them out when they **** it up remains to be seen, but you can bet you bottom dollar Flav & Paladini are behind all this!
I'm not saying it's guaranteed, but today's events could be the catalyst for a similar 15 years to the previous.
100% agree with everything said on this thread. Repeat my call of three or four weeks ago: PALADINI AND BRIATORE OUT - ADD TINY ECCLESTONE TO THAT!!
What a scandalous way to treat your fans ! How out of touch must they be! At least at the Vic the bosses know people are struggling for cash and going to footy is the first thing to be cut from many families budget! To achieve so much then this! I`m outraged for you guys!
I know this hurts , but the best thing you guys can do is take out a sky package and stay away from loftus road! just do the away games!
Ecclestone is just as big a part of this as briatore they have no interest in our club whatsoever just in it to make money could not give a **** about our club when ecclestone was mugged they should have finished the bastard off come on mittels give them what they want and lets get rid.
I thought everything had changed this season...it had.....then it started to change again...then I realised the season isn't quite over.
