    A crazy period in QPR history will be dragged through the High Court this month when former owner Antonio Caliendo attempts to reclaim £5.5million allegedly owed to him by Formula One tycoons Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone.
    Italian football agent Caliendo sold the club to former Renault boss Briatore, backed by F1 ringmaster Ecclestone, in August 2007.
    But Caliendo, who had purchased QPR two years earlier, claims he has yet to receive any money from them in the eight years since the deal was done. And it has taken that time for the dispute to reach the courts.

    Bernie Ecclestone (left) and Flavio Briatore (right) have been accused of owing £5.5m to Caliendo
    Two years after Briatore took control at Loftus Road, a mystery man dressed in black paraded outside the main entrance before the home game against Bristol City holding a placard which read: ‘Billionaire Briatore pay your debts.’ Caliendo said then of the sale: ‘At the right time, we will expose publicly what really happened.’
    The bizarre goings-on at QPR included Gianni Paladini, who was installed by Caliendo to run the club, being threatened by gunmen in the Loftus Road boardroom in August 2005.

    Crazy is the word. It was either owed and paid or not. Lawyers adding zeros (again).

    Oh, THAT crazy period. I must admit, amongst all the crazy periods, I get confused between all the crazy periods of our club's recent history.

    Crazy.

    We're truly a model on how a club should NOT be run, but then it would be no fun supporting a "normal' club!

    Care?

    Other than tapping out a few words
    What can we do?

    Are you left angry when these and many stories are absorbed?

    Not caring is possibly the truth of what most end up doing and why not? Does anyone honestly believe business cares about people generally

    If only voodoo worked reliably
