Giraudo ready to work With Briatore in Queens Park Rangers
. LONDON (November 10) - Results modest, but ambitious plans for the new Queens Park Rangers signed Flavio Briatore, and probably also signed by Antonio Giraudo.
Mouths sewn to the London club, delivery is silence: this is not arrive no confirmation nor denial on the role of leader of Juve, but Italian disqualified active real estate market in London, according to insiders. While today the team coached by De Canio has draw 1-1 at home of Crystal Palace, maintaining fourth Piazza della Premier League (but got 7 points in the last three days), his Italian patron thinking it is another. There is a new and futuristic project on Briatore but maintains the confidentiality, a move the club in New York, where giocherebbero matches housewives of QPR.
While from time to be precise-the day after the acquisition of QPR by the consortium led with his Flavio Briatore-launch of the involvement of society in English Giraudo, the former Juve manager firmly declines every request for interview and London is trincera behind an impenetrable reserve. His assiduous presence in the stands of Loftus Road, on the occasion of each race home of QPR, of course, can not go unnoticed. Officially Giraudo does not have quotas or club covers managerial positions. But believe it is likely that his frequent visits are not just gestures of friendship towards Briatore.
Although confined by the low funding of English second division, the new property immediately wanted to relaunch their ambition of the club: the salvation first year, promotion in the Premiership next season. A project that requires massive investment as well as a solid company behind.What Briatore, however, has not yet revealed is a much more ambitious plan for QPR: moving to New York. An idea for the time being only theoretical but that soon, thanks to the help of Giraudo, could turn into something more concrete.
. The priority at the moment is to strengthen the club in every sector and at the earliest date back to the top division. Only then can begin to dream, following the example of Nfl, who last week did have a championship race, Miami Dolphins against New York Giants, at Wembley Stadium in London. The plan Briatore is even more ambitious: to extend the boundaries sports, but especially economic, Premiership, traslocando the QPR in the United States. So far, beyond any whisper and indiscretion, there is nothing concrete.
The obstacles, not only logistics, it will, from the predictable opposition from Fifa and Uefa. But it is also true that the Premier League has traditionally been at the forefront of its marketing season, and recently the British newspapers have built on the new metropolis investigations intercontinental Nylo, or the virtual merger between New York and London. . For its part, Giraudo, with his international experience, could play a role in this transformation. Translation

A volte ritornano, Giraudo pronto a lavorare
con Briatore nel Queens Park Rangers
LONDRA (10 novembre) - Risultati modesti, ma progetti ambiziosi per il nuovo Queens Park Rangers firmato Flavio Briatore, e probabilmente sottoscritto anche da Antonio Giraudo. Bocche cucite al club londinese, la consegna è il silenzio: così non arriva nessuna conferma nè smentita sul ruolo dell'ex dirigente della Juve, squalificato italiano ma attivo sul mercato immobiliare londinese, secondo i ben informati. Mentre oggi la squadra allenata da De Canio ha pareggiato 1-1 in casa del Crystal Palace, mantenendo la quart'ultima piazza della Premier League (ma ha ottenuto 7 punti nelle ultime tre giornate), il suo patron italiano ne sta pensando un'altra. C'è un nuovo, futuribile progetto sul quale però Briatore mantiene il massimo riserbo, un trasloco del club a New York, dove si giocherebbero le partite casalinghe del QPR.
Mentre da tempo - per la precisione dal giorno dopo l'acquisto del QPR da parte del consorzio guidato dall'amico Flavio Briatore - si vocifera di un coinvolgimento di Giraudo nella società inglese, l'ex dirigente Juve declina con fermezza ogni richiesta di intervista, e a Londra si trincera dietro un impenetrabile riserbo. La sua assidua presenza sulle tribune del Loftus Road, in occasione di ogni gara casalinga dei QPR, non può passare ovviamente inosservata. Ufficialmente Giraudo non possiede quote del club né ricopre incarichi dirigenziali. Ma è verosimile credere che le sue frequenti visite non siano solo gesti di amicizia verso Briatore.
Seppur confinato nei bassi fondi della seconda divisione inglese, la nuova proprietà fin da subito ha voluto rilanciare le proprie ambizioni del club: salvezza il primo anno, promozione in Premiership la prossima stagione. Un progetto che richiede massicci investimenti oltreché una società solida alle spalle. Quello che Briatore, però, non ha ancora rivelato è un piano ben più ambizioso per i QPR: il trasloco a New York. Un'idea per il momento solo teorica ma che presto, anche grazie all'aiuto di Giraudo, potrebbe trasformarsi in qualcosa di più concreto.
La priorità al momento è rafforzare il club in ogni suo settore e risalire al più presto nella massima divisione. Solo allora si potrà cominciare a sognare, seguendo l'esempio della Nfl, che la scorsa settimana ha fatto disputare una gara di campionato, Miami Dolphins contro New York Giants, allo stadio Wembley di Londra. Il piano di Briatore è ancora più ambizioso: allargare i confini sportivi, ma soprattutto economici, della Premiership, traslocando i QPR negli Stati Uniti. Finora, al di là di qualche sussurro e indiscrezione, non c'è nulla di concreto.
Gli ostacoli, non solo logistici, non mancano, a partire dalla prevedibile opposizione di Fifa e Uefa. Ma è anche vero che la Premier League è stata tradizionalmente all'avanguardia nella commercializzazione del suo campionato, e che di recente i giornali inglesi hanno costruito inchieste sulla nuova metropoli intercontinentale Nylo, ovvero la fusione virtuale tra New York e Londra. Da parte sua, Giraudo, con la sua esperienza internazionale, potrebbe ricoprire un ruolo in questa trasformazione. Il Messaggero
