Former QPR chairman Gianni Paladini is eyeing off Bradford City.

The Daily Mail says Paladini has registered as a director of a new Bradford City holding company in what appears to be the first move towards taking control at Valley Parade.

Paladini has been searching for a way back into football since he left Loftus Road in 2011 and has attempted to buy Birmingham City from Carson Yeung.

The Italian seems to have enjoyed more success in West Yorkshire where he has forged an official link to Bradford, a club which has been one of the great success stories of the season.
