QPR fine threat

QPR face future exclusion from the Football League if they do not pay a financial fair play fine which could be as much as £40m.   They would then have to play in the Football Conference.

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has vowed to fight any fine, which does seem disproportionate.  He may have grounds for doing so as there are question marks about the compatbility of the rules with competition law.

Football League fines are to be paid to charity rather than other clubs, but Manchester City’s rivals including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are to get a £212,000 slice of their financial fair play fine.
