QPR supremo Gianni Paladini is upset with the price Birmingham City managing director Karren Brady is demanding for the loan of striker Rowan Vine.
Paladini said: "It is true that things have improved for QPR on the financial side.
"But we intend to be as professional as ever, and like every other club, we are also on the look-out for bargains. Karren is a nice lady, but she wants us to shop at Harrods before we have even been to the bargain store."
