Chairman Speaks
Gianni Paladini has spoken about comments made by Harold Winton about Ian Holloway in the press last week.
The honorary Life President made his feelings towards the Rangers manager known in a national newspaper last week, but Paladini has staunchly defended Holloway.
He said: "Harold is QPR through and through and he is entitled to his opinion but he shouldn't have gone to the press. Harold is not part of the board, he is not involved in the running of the club."
The QPR Chairman is only too pleased with the manager who has taken Rangers to within four points of the play-off places.
"Ian Holloway has got two and a half years left on his contract and we are talking about extending it.
"He is the most fantastic human being I have met in my life. He has had a very difficult time with everything going behind the scenes.
"I was at the training ground with Ian the other day sorting out our new scouting system. We are looking to get the best young players from the UK, France, Spain and all over the world."
Paladini was also pleased to confirm a new member to the board.
"We are delighted to announce that Franco Zanotti has now joined the board and he is representing Wanlock. He joins myself, Antonio Caliendo, Carlos Dunga and Olga Paladini."
The Rangers chairman this afternoon also spoke about season ticket prices for next season.
"We are looking at the financial viability of various season tickets prices for next season. We will pay particular attention to junior and student prices. I have members of staff working on this now and we will present proposals to the board in January."
