Fa are pushed in a corner

[rmj1982]

i know we are shitting ourselfs of the outcome but look at the big picture, the fa and the football league will be bricking it more. the implications of the outcome will not just affect us but would seroiusly reak havok with surely the premier league and the championship. if we were found guilty and just fined and clamied promotion whats stopping the relegated teams in the prem plus other championship counter suing the fa and the football. im hopefull that all

If they find us not guilty, or give us a fine for one of the charges and dismiss the rest, all they've got to say is: "QPR gained no playing advantage, the player was always eligible to play, so a points deduction would be wholly inappropriate".
It would make any law suits from other clubs untenable.
But who would do that? Swansea and Reading have both said they don't want us to be deducted, Notts Forest probably wouldn't be that keen on meeting us in the play-offs; Norwich are promoted anyway so wouldn't have a good reason to appeal -- that leaves Cardiff. They are the only ones who might try and kick up a fuss imo (although one of their former players -- can't remember his name -- has today come out and said that a deduction should not happen).

I think they'd upset more clubs deducting us than not deducting us.

Best post by a country mile. If the FA decide we are innocent= that is the end of it

FA

I should have added - and if they find us guilty of something or other and decide that it does not merit a points deduction that is their discretion and not actionable in law by a third party.

Most interesting thing is that Swansea could if we end up in playoff 2nd if they where to win Sat and Cardiff lose.
