QPR points deduction?

[Snowball]

I'd say -10 points for every time they've played Faurlin would be fair.

-750 Points. Seems Reasonable.

QPR CAUGHT FAURLIN FOUL OF THE RULES

[Snowball]

You've spelled falling wrong

[Ian Royal]

QPR will blatantly try and string this out as long as possible in the hope of forcing the FA into just fining them so that the fixture lists and promotion and relegation aren't thrown into absolute chaos.

[Z175]

I feel sorry for thier fans.

Sorry I do!

not for colin mind...

[Royal Lady]

Rest of my family are QPR supporters - and a friend or two - and I do feel for them - it's not their fault - but they have been crowing about their league position and more or less think they're guaranteed auto promotion - so this will just cut them down to size. Maybe.

TBF it'll realistically need to be a double figures points deduction (probably in the order of 20) to prevent them getting promoted. They're so strong they'll almost certainly win the play offs even if they end up in them, unless they absolutely fall to pieces. I can't see Colin letting that happen without a few maimings or deaths first.

QPR will NOT be playing football in the Premier League next season. FACT.

Well, it's not actually, but I'm very very confident.

As much as I would LOL - if it meant Cardiff get an auto spot I'd be gutted.

One of my summer highlights was going to be watching the double play-off losing finalists (hopefully to us this time) go bust when all the debt they've gambled on promotion gets called in. Still, hopefully Norwich or Burnley can nick an auto spot ahead of them.

I'm with you on that if Cardif fail to go up they will surely hit finacial melt down? QPR on the other have the highest wage bill in the Championship and the most hated manager. Norwich 23 million in the red yet still buying players, Swansea managed by Brenda, I haven't forgiven Burnley for doing us in play offs, Forest managed by a short arsed bad dressed Jock who blames everyone else except himself when his team loses. And Leeds well lets not go there. I've decided I don't want anyone to go up..............Except us

You'd've thought so--but we said that last year.

I think it suits us best if big clubs go up--such as Leeds and Forest--rather than small ones such as Swansea. (I don't mind Rodgers getting success--he managed us in good faith.) It's also better for us if small clubs, like Bournemouth, come up, rather than big ones that will invest heavily. One problem we've got this year is that there are a lot of big hitters firing quite well in the top ten--happy to lose three of them and have Wigan and Blackpool come down.

They say they've done nothing wrong, so they must have checked the books--which can't be time-consuming on one transfer. Why they've asked for more time, then, I do not know. It suggests that they have done something wrong. Otherwise, you'd think they'd want this out of the way as quick as possible. I agree that they're probably calculating that, on past precedents, the authorities won't want to demote them once promoted.

So let's see what might happen if the FL (as expected) bottle a points deduction and QPR end up as champions:

(a) QPR should have had points deducted last season so Sheffield Wednesday sue them.
(b) The second place team this season sues QPR for the trophy.
(c) The third place team sues QPR for not getting automatic promotion and for not getting parachute payments from 2012 onwards (because anyone finishing third or lower in this season's Championship is clearly coming straight back down).
(d) The seventh place team sues QPR for not getting into the play-offs.
(e) The 22nd placed team sues QPR because they go down.
(f) Johnstone's Paints sue QPR for not being able to use the comedy value as publicity in their competition this season.

And every single prosecutor begins his speech with "M'lud, I would like to quote from a Mr Neil Warnock, better known as Colin, when in 2007 he said...."

A team would only really have a chance of suing successfully if they could show a fairly clear consequential financial loss as a result of QPR's cheating. That essentially means only the third placed team if they are within 5-10 points of QPR and do not go up via the play offs.

The play offs are far too big a lottery for the seventh placed team to sue and there will be far too big a points gap between them and QPR to have finished a place higher in all likelihood. Relegation and a massive points deduction seem pretty unlikely (though highly desirable).

Wednesday's relegation's financial cost is not on the same scale as relegation from or promotion to the Premier League, so the benefit of sueing is far less. And they finished 10 points behind QPR with an inferior GD so the chances of them finishing above QPR are too small to justify a speculative Court case IMO.

I trust the FA will sort this out before the season ends.

Can i remind you the FA fear the WARNOCK!, there will be no retribution onbehalf of the FA to the Queers in the Park Ranger

QPR have also had a number of other interesting transfers with players coming in only to be loaned out or "sold" but then turning up in the reserve team again in a few months.

The danger must be once the attention of the FA is belatedly drawn to the club and that of HMRC to some of the financial loans the chairman and his family have received that this is just the tip of a fairly dodgy iceberg.

If proven,the FootbalLOL Association will bottle this one and just impose a fine, gauranteed.

Fielding an illegible player is one of the biggest wrongs you can do as a football club, if not the biggest. In the FA Cup, clubs are always thrown out of the competition for this, so following that logic the FA must deduct points from QPR. But we know they won't, it will be a fairly large, albeit inconsequential to them, fine and slap on the wrist to not do it again.
