It was a decent watch but I still didn't quite understand who did what by the end of the documentary. Who was the angry old Italian fella (not the F1 guy) who kept getting bollocked by the two Asian lads for dicking around in the directors' box? He seemed like a right useless bastard.

paladini is his name or something like that. basically briatore's lap dog. fucking funny to watch him going mad though! like something out of goodfellas.

really enjoyed the documentary, warnock did fucking well under that sort of ownership

Director of football I think, he was a complete twat.

That Briatore bloke was an absolute nutcase and it makes you appreciate what the managers have to put up with some times.

The two Indian guys came out of it with a lot of credit but the Italian contingents were fucking incompetent.

Can highly recommend anyone giving it a watch, very entertaining stuff.

Would be interesting to see a similar documentary from the four years since Shinawatra took over here.

Couldn't believe half the stuff the Italians were coming out with, best part was when they were flying high n they miss 1 header...'fucking what is he doing, useless' crazy. It was worse than a kid on footy manager

paladini briatores righthand man, thought he was well funny, then the indian guy told him to stop messing about so he did, when you watch it, i was imagining it was us and how we would have felt when the no points deduction was announced, must have been brilliant day for their fans and a trophy to pick up after the match.

A fantastic watch. Fascinating.

Briatore is a Grade A Bellend. Couldn't believe him having a pop at Warnock on the day when they about to be crowned champions. Also, Ecclestone, the man whose daughter's wedding cost £12Mil, talking about excess expenditure on water and energy drinks.

Bhatia comes across as a decent fella and has a bit of nous.

Interesting for me was how the programme showed just how important getting the right man at the right time is. Warnock was perfect for them and they'd have been fucked without him.

Slightly off top but I've met Tony Fernandez. I was working in Kuala Lumpur when Air Asia had just launched. I was on one of their first ever flights. I used to fly with them every couple of weeks from KL to Langkowi or Phuket and Fernandez travelled on a lot of their flights in their first year in business. He came up to me mid flight and said he'd noticed me a few flights and would I mind giving him some feedback....."at £12 return to get me to a paradise island for the weekend you don't need to be too flash, all good though. Oh, saying that, your durian fruit stink and need to go". It's sounds odd but looking back he had something about him. Not saying that he was clearly destined for huge success but he was an impressive individual. Full of self confidence and engaged well with everyone.

I watched it last night, really enjoyed it. Quite surprising how much access they had, and also makes you wonder what does go on behind the scenes at all clubs.

Anyone have a separate link to this? BBC TV so doesn't work outside the UK.

haha I remember the first time I was in the far east and saw a "No Durian" sign in a hotel.....puzzled the bejaysus out of me!

Made me laugh that Amit banned Paladini from cursing at the players at the start of the promotion season.

Wonder what input mittal and eccleston had, as something was obviously done to prevent briatore having the influence he had in the first couple of years, and about time too. His behaviour was horrendous, and to sack Sousa for stating a fact just because it made the owners look bad was shocking.

However, briatori and paladini's cursing about the players and managers was quite funny

The brothers came accross as wanting to make a real go at the football club. Reviewing expenditure at minute detail at all levels.

Ecclestone and Briatore just looked like they wanted to flip the club and sell for a huge profit quickly.

This I'd love to see it.

Same here on that question. I wanna see it now.

Might be worth trawling through a few QPR forums, maybe even Not606.

Just had a nosy on there, completely forgot about Flavio asking for the names of the fans who were booing him. And the assertion that "they pay their £10", after they had hiked the ticket prices to Premier League levels whilst struggling in the championship.

What an utterly hateful cunt

The brothers were sound to be fair the others,Wankers.

That Amiit bloke seems really decent. The Italians were all nobs though
