Scott-RFC Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 QPR'S automatic promotion into the Premier League is set to be blocked by the FA.SunSport understands the runaway Championship leaders are likely to face a big points deduction - possibly up to 15 - if they are found guilty of breaking strict third-party ownership rules over the signing of Alejandro Faurlin.The evidence against the West London club is said to be damning and they could now end up in the play-offs.The only winners would be Cardiff and Norwich who could then go up automatically.The hearing into the signing of the Argentine midfielder two years ago begins next Tuesday and a verdict will be delivered three days later.A four-man panel will comprise an independent QC, two from the FA's disciplinary panel and a football expert who will be either a former player or boss.In theory, they should begin with a blank sheet of paper but many at the FA are openly discussing the case and reckon QPR - five points clear at the top of the table - are in big trouble. Those who have seen the evidence say Rangers are defending the indefensible.An FA source said: "There's no question QPR have broken the rules. They know it as well. The only debate is what to do about it."If they aren't found guilty you might as well scrap the rules about third-party owners."Some within the corridors of power believe QPR should be hit hard because they were well aware they were acting outside the regulations.When West Ham were punished over the Carlos Tevez affair they were actually found guilty of failure to disclose information - not of breaking third-party ownership rules because such legislation did not exist.Since then the FA have made third-party ownership illegal so the argument is QPR were worse offenders because they were well aware they were committing an offence.If Neil Warnock's side are found guilty they will have seven days to appeal.However, if QPR take legal action or other clubs decide to seek legal avenues because of points they lost when Faurlin played against them, the whole issue could drag on throughout the summer.The nightmare scenario could even be that the Championship promotion play-offs do not take place at all until the issue is resolved. Would be an awfully harsh punishment, then again its an article mainly based on hearsayThe prospect of the playoffs having to drag on would be farcical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Neil Warnock would love this, especially when his Sheffield Utd team went down after West Ham got away without points deducted for a similar case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I hope it doesnt happen. Even with the filthy rich owners they have done it properly and built a championship winning team and their superb performance this season shouldnt be taken away from them in such a cruel way.If they did get points deducted and then won the playoffs to go up i would fukin love that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Seems a bit odd this comes up 2 years after they sign the player in question, at the same time they'r about to get promoted for the first time in 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Fuck em, they are a club which has the words Queens and Rangers in it and were playing in green and white hoops t'other night so for that I have no sympathy and thats even before I rant on about their ownership issues.

Irwin Sparkes Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 What i want to know is how Man Utd were able to sign Tevez, even though he was only on loan, and it wasn't a team he was on loan from, it was an agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
