saint lard Posted 29 April, 2011 Posted 29 April, 2011 This could really stir up a hornets nest. I wonder if the footballing authorities have the balls to deduct the points. They seemed to have really dragged their feet in all this,what a mess...... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3553711/The-FA-are-set-to-strip-QPR-of-promotion-to-the-Premier-League.html
RedArmy Posted 29 April, 2011 Posted 29 April, 2011 Warnock will go NUTS if they deduct points after the West Ham fiasco.
stevegrant Posted 29 April, 2011 Posted 29 April, 2011 I suspect this might have something to do with that story and its timing - no named quotes, just "an FA source", that could be anyone.
saint lard Posted 29 April, 2011 Author Posted 29 April, 2011 Warnock will go NUTS if they deduct points after the West Ham fiasco. There are some differences between the two cases however,as stated in the piece.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 April, 2011 Posted 29 April, 2011 Relegate them to League 1, it will give the Brentfords,MK Dons and other tinpot clubs someone to despise for no apparent reason when we're gone.
OVER THE HILL Posted 29 April, 2011 Posted 29 April, 2011 It seems they knew they were breaking the rules but carried on anyway. I can think of another club nearby that did that. The FA must give them a points penalty, a fine would be nothing to one of the richest clubs in the country.
Deano6 Posted 4 May, 2011 Posted 4 May, 2011 Very interesting: http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10308~2351935,00.html In the event of Nottingham Forest reaching the play-off semi-finals following this Saturday's game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, the club wish to inform their supporters of the following: The club have been contacted by the Football League and have been informed that the FA verdict scheduled to be given this Friday against QPR could have significant impact on the provisional dates for the play-off semi-finals. Implication here is it would affect Forest directly as it could change the date they play on, which is determined by league position. Otherwise it would just change the opposition. QPR are on 88 points, Forest are on 72. 15 point deduction?? Table
Picard Posted 5 May, 2011 Posted 5 May, 2011 QPR could be promoted and the points deduction made next season which would make the playoffs more straightforward.
Hatch Posted 5 May, 2011 Posted 5 May, 2011 My mate , a QPR fan, who knows a lot about the workings of the FA, reckons it's going to be a 15 point deduction.
LGTL Posted 5 May, 2011 Posted 5 May, 2011 Yep and Play-Off's going on as normal, meaning absolutely no chance of a points deduction. Heavy fine.
Jimmy_D Posted 5 May, 2011 Posted 5 May, 2011 Maybe it's a delay to make sure they have a water tight case. After all, they could well impose a points deduction with no right of appeal, like they did with us.
egg Posted 5 May, 2011 Posted 5 May, 2011 If found guilty the sentence shouldn't be harsh. They bought him last season but did not benefit from having an 'illegal' player. They declared the third party ownership over the summer. The league then sanctioned the transfer. Thus, he has been a 'legal' player this season so I cannot see how the league can punish severely.
redfred Posted 6 May, 2011 Posted 6 May, 2011 Yep and Play-Off's going on as normal, meaning absolutely no chance of a points deduction. Heavy fine. Maybe its relegation to L1, with 2 down from the prem?
