Departing QPR chairman Gianni Paladini admits former owner Flavio Briatore did influence team selection.

Paladini left his role on Wednesday.

He told The Sun: "Flavio wanted success at all costs and he was only doing what he thought was right.

"But sometimes he could interfere with the manager and team too much. In fairness when Neil Warnock took over Flavio took a step back."
