I brought success to QPR and I will bring success to Birmingham City - Gianni Paladin I brought success to QPR and I will bring success to Birmingham City - Gianni Paladini Gianni PaladiniGIANNI Paladini has revealed that there would be no four-year plans if he was successful in taking control of Birmingham City. Rather, it would be a one-year plan to get Blues back into the big time. Paladini made a wry reference to the eye-opening documentary about QPR, The Four Year Plan, which showed fly-on-the-wall footage of him and Flavio Briatore at Loftus Road as the club strived to reach the Premier League. âIf our consortium gets the club, we need promotion this season or the next season,â stated Paladini. âNot in four yearsâ time â itâs a one-year plan. âBirminghamâs squad is not bad. It maybe needs another four players, maybe another striker. âWe believe that we can help bring success; with the right people we can take Birmingham up.â Paladini and Co â more so Briatore â came in for huge criticism for the forthright and dismissive manner in which they dealt with managers and various situations â even picking the team â at Loftus Road.
