Dilkes Posted 28 April 2011 Posted 28 April 2011 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3553711/The-FA-are-set-to-strip-QPR-of-promotion-to-the-Premier-League.html QPR'S automatic promotion into the Premier League is set to be blocked by the FA.SunSport understands the runaway Championship leaders are likely to face a big points deduction - possibly up to 15 - if they are found guilty of breaking strict third-party ownership rules over the signing of Alejandro Faurlin. The evidence against the West London club is said to be damning and they could now end up in the play-offs. The only winners would be Cardiff and Norwich who could then go up automatically. The hearing into the signing of the Argentine midfielder two years ago begins next Tuesday and a verdict will be delivered three days later. A four-man panel will comprise an independent QC, two from the FA's disciplinary panel and a football expert who will be either a former player or boss. In theory, they should begin with a blank sheet of paper but many at the FA are openly discussing the case and reckon QPR - five points clear at the top of the table - are in big trouble. Those who have seen the evidence say Rangers are defending the indefensible. An FA source said: "There's no question QPR have broken the rules. They know it as well. The only debate is what to do about it. "If they aren't found guilty you might as well scrap the rules about third-party owners." Some within the corridors of power believe QPR should be hit hard because they were well aware they were acting outside the regulations. When West Ham were punished over the Carlos Tevez affair they were actually found guilty of failure to disclose information - not of breaking third-party ownership rules because such legislation did not exist. Since then the FA have made third-party ownership illegal so the argument is QPR were worse offenders because they were well aware they were committing an offence. If Neil Warnock's side are found guilty they will have seven days to appeal. However, if QPR take legal action or other clubs decide to seek legal avenues because of points they lost when Faurlin played against them, the whole issue could drag on throughout the summer. The nightmare scenario could even be that the Championship promotion play-offs do not take place at all until the issue is resolved.
LCFCmatt Posted 28 April 2011 Posted 28 April 2011 Warnock gets what he deserves. Did the player play against us, cos we could get compo
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 28 April 2011 Posted 28 April 2011 i would love if this happened! the look of Wanocks face would be priceless but can't see them getting points deducted probably be a fine
Haydos Posted 28 April 2011 Posted 28 April 2011 Surely there's an outline of the possible punishment written up in the law about 3rd party ownership.... I don't see why a loss of points would be an end result, a fine seems much more sensible and straight forward.
m00nie Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 whilst warnock is one of the biggest plonkers around i think its harsh if they do hit them that hard that it effects there promotion.. they have deserved to go up after there season to be fair and the incident was 2 years ago.. wasnt even warnock in charge was it.. i know he was one before ranting about it so its kind of ironic but still... really cant see them stopping them go up and do think it will be a large fine..

Pretty much sums up my feelings. I hate Warnock as much as the next person and if they broke laws, especially knowingly, then they should face consequences but a 15 point deduction would be unfair on them and no doubt it would cause mass problems with regard to teams wanting compensation and sorting out play-offs etc etc. Hand them the biggest possible fine deemed acceptable and get on with it.
CKB Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Bollocks will they be deducted 15pts, probs just a massive fine
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Let them go in to the Prem they will be too difficult to play next season
MPH Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Warnock gets what he deserves. Did the player play against us, cos we could get compo please explain to me how warnock will be getting what he deserves.... considering the fact Warnock wasnt even AT QPR back then.....
z-layrex Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Considering my boss is a huge QPR fan i'm not sure if a points deduction would be a good thing for me or bad .
Finnegan Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE PLEAAAAAAAAAASE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE GOD. Let this happen. Funniest thing in the entire fucking world if Warnock gets trumped by this rule. I will literally cry laughing. And maybe wee a bit as well.
LCFCmatt Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 please explain to me how warnock will be getting what he deserves.... considering the fact Warnock wasnt even AT QPR back then..... Because he's a horrible little pigman
Stevosevic Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Still dont think it will happen, that article doesn't tell us anything new.
Guest Bilo Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Daer God, it would be the funniest thing that has ever happened in the world of football if Neil 'Leicester shouldn't be allowed to go up because they broke the rules' Warnock lost out on promotion because his team broke the rules. Irony is beautiful. Especially if he ran away from Loftus Road crying like he did from Bramall Lane last time he didn't get his own way. I doubt it'll happen though, it would just raise too many problems legally and QPR's owners aren't exactly poor. One rule for the rich clubs and one rule for the rest I expect.
the_foxes_till_i_die Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 All you banging on about a fine what is a fine going to do to QPR? fook all!!! Deduct just enough points so they come 2nd place!!!
purpleronnie Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 I'd be amazed if they deduct so many points so they don't go up automatically. I agree with the poster above.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 The FA or whoever should have sorted this by now. Why its dragging on I dont know, teams should know whats going on.
Jimothy Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Can't they 25 off them, give us chance to get in the play-offs!
samlcfc Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Would be insanely funny if they didnt go up because of this. Kinda doubt it but we can all hope
ScouseFox Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Should give 'em a deduction next season. Let them go up, pretty unfair if they missed out, but just make sure they come crashing back down, Warnock leaves in a strop and everything falls apart.
Guest Bilo Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Dickie Greenleaf will be gutted for his hero if this happens.
Nick Posted 29 April 2011 Posted 29 April 2011 Dickie Greenleaf will be gutted for his hero if this happens. I say give them whatever penalty Warnock asked for when he was at Sheffield Utd............
