QPR

Are gonna be in a spot of bother.

They broke the rules when Keogh got them promoted in 2014, so they should pay the fine levied.
On the surface £58m looks a tad steep, but those are the rules.
Us, Blackburn, Leeds and Bolton all got punished.

Leicester have probably got away with cheating again as they employed David Richards, formerly of the PL, to help circumvent [sic] the rules

That, Ray is quite frankly ridicules.

QPR fans should vent and direct their anger over this at the very people responsible and not the FL: Fernandez, Mittal and Sloppy chops himself.

He wasn't directly involved at the time was he? I think in this instance he joined the club AFTER the period which they are being penalised for.

It's amusing as his approach to spending has put various clubs in the mire and could even be a factor in the rules being drawn up in the first place. And he's shocked and devastated they've caught up with another of his former clubs.

What a plank

He won't be shocked and devastated for long though; take a drive around Arry's hood some time. You'll find it interesting.

Anyway I thought the bloke couldn't read?

I’d be proud of the Prem title, BS, but less so of all the small local business left well out of pocket by a sneaky little move that was so morally wrong.

Will - talking about two different things I think. Recent FFP and our administration - which I've got through a number of times,

I've referenced accountants who worked for the club at the time, trying desperately to sell or offload players on ludicrous wages while we had a new stadium to pay for and of course the collapse of itv digital at the same time as getting relegated

This myth that we sat back and let our creditors burn while keeping hold of our best players is just a myth. Should we have got docked points? Yep but we didn't control that part.

I'm not proud of it but not ashamed either, it was just very unfortunate and we almost folded. Strett puts his fingers in his ears whenever I make these points, so I just rip on him these days

Leicester.... went into liquidation, phoenix-ed & then, rebuilt from there, before breaching FFP rules, but avoiding punishment by staying in EPL.

Nothing to see here.

Also, worth pointing out that Bournemouth had a fine, paid it and will have no problem when/if they get relegated. Leicester have fudged their accounts and will dispute their liability.
