Former QPR chairman linked with Bantams move

Former QPR chairman Gianni Paladini is in talks with Bradford over a possible takeover, according to Bantams joint-chairman Mark Lawn.

Paladini left QPR in 2011, following the takeover by Tony Fernandes, and has previously been linked with moves for Birmingham and Millwall.

Lawn told the Telegraph and Argus: "We have signed a confidentiality undertaking and we are talking to him."

Paladini's previous attempt at a takeover was reported to be at Millwall, but chairman John Berylson played those down in January 2014.

Berylson said: "I have absolutely no interest in selling Millwall to Mr Paladini, who I have never even met nor have any intention of meeting, or anyone else."

Bradford are currently 11th in the Sky Bet League One table following Tuesday's 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Bristol City, which sealed the Robins' promotion to the Championship.
