QPR avoid points penalty (1 Viewer)

Coventry La La La · May 7, 2011

Queens Park Rangers will not face a points penalty this season or next, the Football Association has confirmed.

The Championship club have been found guilty of two charges by the FA's Regulatory Commission, following an investigation into the acquisition of Alejandro Faurlin, but have escaped a points deduction.

As a result, the club will be handed the second tier title following Saturday's home date with Leeds and will take their place in the Premier League next season.

The club had been left sweating on promotion, with a points penalty likely to have seen them dropped into the play-off places.

Neil Warnock and his side can now relax and enjoy their weekend celebrations, while putting in place plans for a shot at the top flight next season.

The Championship play-off schedule will also remained unchanged, ending fears that fixtures could be delayed while the FA pondered what action to take against QPR.

A statement released on the FA's official website read:

"The Regulatory Commission hearing charges brought by The FA against Queens Park Rangers FC wish to announce that although two of the charges have been found to be proved there will be no points deduction made from Queens Park Rangers FC in this season or the next."

I bet if it was us, we would have the points deducted.

It would cause too much trouble to dock them points at this stage, even though they have clearly broken the rules.

It's only because it's a London club they are able to get away with it, Although i think they should of been given a points penalty it would of been wrong to deney them promotion for something that happened last season, maybe they could of started on -15 points next time they played in the championship. :thinking about:

What a fucking joke.

The game on BBC1 is like the QPR show. All they are doing is bumming QPR.

Leeds should have had 2 penalties and their goalie sent off by now!

Sorry disagree, the right decision in my book. They had until September to make a decision when this was discovered and they did nothing it would be unfair and unethcal to pull the title away on the last day of the season. QPR were the best team in the league without a doubt and rightly champions regardless of hwo much money they have or whether they are a london club or not.

I heard they were actually waiting to see how many points QPR were ahead to start deducting at that point, this just makes a mockery of any decision. It was too late by the FA, Fine them by all means but way too late to start playing around with the league.

The point is that the FA have been shown to be as ball-less as a castrated snake. They knew about this is in September and fannied around until it became an embarassment.
