Let's expect the worse

[stainrodisalegend]

To be on the safe side. On another thread some posters are suggesting for the last few games we play effectively a reserve side to give squad players a chance. Imagine we just blithely assume its all going to be fine and then miss out on promotion by say three points after a 10 or 12 point deduction - we would be absolutely gutted we hadn't really gone for it till the end.

I posted this earlier:

I don't know the ins and outs - but I spoke to someone who is on the board at Reading at the weekend. Basically every team in the championship (and some below) are waiting to see if we gained an "illegal competitive advantage" by playing Faulin - with a view to launching further legal action against us. I felt sick at first to be honest. However. He also said that such universal action would open a massive can of worms and would basically drown the FA, FL and all the teams in an awful, ongoing legal mess due to the precident set.

I asked him what his gut feeling was and he said that if we had done wrong in the main respect then we were likely to get "a good slap on the wrist" (read moderate fine) for "inaccurate" paperwork.... an "innocent" oversight if you like.

Like I said - I'm not ITK. Just relaying a conversation I had.....

lets go for it big time and not leave anything to chance.......forget all this talk of deductions etc-lets enjoy the remaining games with a smile.

Haha, the misregistration of one player at QPR , brings the football world to a meltdown so it does!!

Indeed.

Probably has more to with (most) clubs wanting a free piece of Bernie/Mittal pie rather than anything football related.

Best post on this entire thread to be fair.

Youseff, you are such a negative poster. Your the equivalent of having a Katie Price poster in the room...not even topless.
A sour taste Youseff, a sour taste!

[stanistheman]

In theory QPR could clinch 'promotion' by the time of the game against Derby on 18th April, but will they celebrate knowing that the outccome of the hearin won be known until there is only 1 game left to play.

I can't see the FA really being stupid enough to deduct enough points at that stage to wipe out any winning lead they have on the others bidding for promotion. It's not as if QPR are being charged with cheating or bribary offences.

What's negative about asking to keep it up till the end of the season. Nothing taken for granted. Look at Forest and how their fans were talking about the title and look at them now

[W4 R]

Norwich,Cardiff and Swansea fans will be trilled if they view into this board and all the negativity on here about this,WHY do you assume the worst?

I reckon it will just be the Norwich fans who will be trilled eh or sick as a parrot

[Connell10]

I dont want a points deduction how ever small and i dont want a fine because both those things mean we are guilty of something and you can bet other fans will say we cheated our way to the prem! Why do all these shite things happen to rangers! BEST SEASON FOR YEARS THEN THIS CRAP COMES ALONG! Still as other posters have said lets all carry on and enjoy the rest of the season i for one am gonna put me head in the sand till may 6th then panic like f0ck!!!

I do actually feel quite depressed these days. QPR is a HUGE part of my life. Nuff said,
but I really wonder if it is allowed to let this case drag on for such a long time.?
Maybe our legal-staff can sort such a question out ? I mean we are dealing with sport issues like sportsmanship here as well. One should believe that the latter behaviour should work both ways!
One can actually say that the FA totally denies the fact that themselves now brings the sport into shame because(the timing of the verdict) is totally unacceptable .
I fear that we can be a victim of a lack of precedent concerning third party ownership - matters even when FA themselves dont know how to establish?
Only Garrow(RIP) could have saved us now!

:impatient:

Ten weeks is quite quick for the FA on a matter as complex as this. They spent five months deciding to fine West Ham £115K over the Millwall game crowd trouble last season.

There isn't going to be a points deduction applying to this season. The timing of the hearing tells you that.

What's the worse that can happen. Well they relegated Swindon. But that was for serious fraud which ended with the Chairman jailed for six months.

Stay cool and celebrate is what I am going to do.

What we have heard is that the FA hearing will be on 6 May, the day before the last day of the league games. I just hope that NW and the players are taking into account the worse (10 points deductions) even If this is less likely to happen. So let's give 110% in all our remaining games. You thoughts?

you can only give 100%
this is not the bleeding stock market.

Assuming the worse would mean Aly was ineligible last season as well meaning we get relegated. Really not gonna go down that road.

How about you just man up and enjoy probably one of the best season's you'll ever see for QPR, we won't roll so many teams over, home and away, so easily for a while!

[stanley75]

Weren't we told this was sorted several weeks ago? Hmm.

In any case, now we actually have a date (and even when we didn't) I don't see any value in worrying about it. We've waited long enough ffs. Que sera and all that.

Pitch invasion on the 7th could be lively if the points have actually gone though.
