Christmas Tree 4005 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Burtons Grandad 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Tough shit for the cheating cockney bastards.. Mind you if Cardiff get up it means that Rapist wont get Boothroyd so will no doubt try for the lanky piece of shit Carlton Cole. Hmm Cart Cort / Cartlon Cole CC and both utter shite. I suppose it will get Routledge another season in the Championship to look good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Reported by The Sun and no-one else. It's entirely possible that it might be the case (The Sun getting something right would be even more significant an event, if you ask me), but is nowhere near as confirmed as CT's thread title implies. A big fine and a suspended sentence is another rumour I'm hearing. Edited April 29, 2011 by Tecato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Blime! I reckon there'll just be a fine though or else a points deduction that wont alter the table(i.e. 5points clear, so a 4pt deduction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene_Clark 12 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 When I lived in London, used to watch them with 2 mates from work. One was QPR fan, the other Wealdstone, who I used to watch as well. Happy days; 86-87. Saw us lose at QPR, Wimbledon & Watford, but win at Arsenal & Chelsea. Drew at Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Heard a geezer on the radio today saying that when West Ham fucked up with Tevez, the Sheffield United manager at the time was shouting from the roof tops that West Ham should be docked points..... Any guesses who the Sheffield manager was at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 This goes on more than some people realise, in terms of clubs & 3rd parties escaping the noose. Third parties & club officials will always attempt to stay one step ahead of the game's governing body & the procedures used to detect offences - just like the war against drug cheating, it's a never ending arms race. Success in detecting offences is largely dependant on any sort incompetence on the clubs' & agents/3rd parties' respective parts, as to whether they've been stupid enough to leave any sort of paper trail. It's worrying when the club [lead by business types who have zero credibility in the way of ethics, & respectful dealings in the football world] enters into a loose business relationship with a known mover & shaker in this area of player recruitment ie. 3rd party ownership.

Any guesses who the Sheffield manager was at the time? To be fair to Warnock (who is a giant cunt... to put it politely) the transfer occured 8 months before he left Crystal Palace for QPR.
