The Football League have delayed making a decision on Flavio Briatore's position as QPR co-owner.
Briatore's role has been called into question following his banning from Formula One in the wake of the 'Crashgate' scandal.
Renault chief Briatore was thrown out of F1 after he was found to have
instructed his driver, Nelson Piquet Jnr, to crash deliberately at last year's
Singapore Grand Prix to aid team-mate Fernando Alonso.
The League met on Thursday to discuss its fit and proper persons test, which Briatore appears to contravene having been banned "from involvement in the administration of a sport by a sports governing body or such other similar forms of disqualification".
In a statement, the League revealed they will await a response from the Italian millionaire before deciding his fate.
"The board conducted a comprehensive review of the situation, including the receipt of advice from leading counsel.
"After considering all the information presently available to it and in the interest of due process, the board will seek responses from Mr Briatore before commenting further."
