June 10, 2007 Skysports/Mark Buckingham - Paladini soothes QPR fears
Gianni Paladini has moved to reassure Queens Park Rangers fans that the club's future is not under threat.
The Championship side have been served with a winding-up order by Customs and Excise in relation to unpaid VAT.
The figure owed is reportedly in the region of £700,000 to £800,000 and there is a court hearing planned for 4th July.
But QPR chairman Paladini is confident the issue will be resolved and is adamant that the club will not be going under.
"We are in negotiations and I am not just confident, but I'm certain the matter will be sorted out before the case is due to be heard," Paladini told the Sunday Mirror.
"The problem is that some of the money being claimed goes back five or six years, before I was involved with the club.
"But if any supporters are concerned about the club's future they should not be.
"The situation is under control and I do not consider it to be serious." Skysports
