LSA Meeting with Paladini- September 5 2005
" A Member asked why we are considering offering Ian Holloway a longer contract when he has only just signed one for three years. GP said that Ian Holloway wants another two years on his contract. http://www.qpr-lsa.co.uk/05setpoct.html
QPR 1st Meeting with Paladini - September 15 2005
"Ian Holloway was inevitably mentioned at one stage, with TS showing GP a print out of the article that had appeared on the BBC website that very day regarding his proposed new role and asked if it were true. GP, who had not seen the article, read through it briefly and confirmed that the article was the gist of what they were negotiating, saying that basically IH would have control over which players come into the club, whilst Gianni himself would deal with the agent part of any deal/transfer seeing as he is experienced in that particular area.
We asked if he was now happy with IH, which was rather different to a year ago when the Board had considered bringing in a change of manager in Ramon Diaz. GP said he is happy now, that last year for the first 4/5 games he wasn't impressed, but that these days he has a good relationship with IH. http://www.qpr1st.co.uk/main/trustclubmeetsep2005.htm

From OFFICIAL SITE Q&A With Paladini - December? 2005
Do you think that Ian Holloway has taken the club as far as he can, and do we need a manager that will be able to take us to the next level?Mark Horton
I think Ian is the man to take us forward, that's why we gave him a three year contract. Ian is a very good manager and I think he is the man to take us forward.Our relationship is very good, we speak everyday. I have commented on our relationship very often. I love Ian.
How much truth was there in the rumour of Ramon Diaz coming to Rangers?William Wall
When I first joined I didn't know Ian Holloway. My friend Ramon Diaz came to watch our matches but he couldn't work for us anyway due to work permits. But once I got to know Ian then I knew he was the man for the job.

QPR NET Q&A - December 2005
QPRnet.com: What were your expectations for the first team at the start of this season and what are they now?
GP: I was hoping we would get into the play offs, now it’s a case of lets see what happens. We need to get points and we must stay in this division whatever it takes. I’m confident and the players are confident that they are better than the last two games (Brighton and Coventry). That’s not the type of football I like at all.
QPRnet.com: Do you target Ian Holloway before each season as to a league finish?
GP: At the beginning of the season I targeted him to finish in the play offs and to improve on last season as a minimum. Anything less than that is disappointing, we have to improve, there is no other way, so let’s see what happens
QPRnet.com: What were your thoughts on our Club President calling for Ian Holloway to be sacked recently?
GP: He’s been a supporter of QPR for years and years and years has Harold. He’s a very passionate man, lovely fella and he’s helped the club many times. He has his own ideas and they haven’t changed, he was like this ever since I’ve known him. He’s not on the board and he doesn’t interfere but he’s entitled to his opinion and I’ve no problem with that. I said to Ian that I take stick as well and you have to get on with it.
QPRnet.com: So what about you? You said recently that you loved Ian and wanted him to be the man who builds the clubs future – do you stand by that?
GP: I like Ian as a man, he’s been very close to me over the years but at the end of the day we all know in football you forget about the good times very quickly. There’s a time span for everyone in football for me and for Ian but it won’t be me that ever sacks him it will be the fans, they will decide what’s right.
If it comes to that then it doesn’t matter how much you love somebody, you have to make a decision you don’t want to. At the end of the day, Ian knows his job as a football manager is to be successful and I know my job is to run this football club and make sure the finances are sound and if either of us don’t do that then we have to go. It’s OK being a lovely friendly person but if you are not a success then you can only be a failure.
QPRnet.com: Are you and Ian both aware that the fan base is split over his future?
GP: Of course but that happens at every football club, you can be the most successful manager in the world but the moment things don’t go right you get moved on. Look at the pressure Alex Ferguson is under after everything he has done.
