QPR FA hearing

Like many Queens Park Rangers fans I have been sweating at the thought of QPR losing out on automatic promotion as champions.

The question that seems to be being asked all over the internet is; is it fair?

Is it fair to dock a team points, strip them of the title they have won on the pitch beating teams 11 v 11 for 90 minutes? As a fan I am naturally bias and say no, of course the squad have done nothing wrong and have nothing to do with transfer deals. The squad that won enough points to mathmaticlly secure promotion deserve their title as champions.

IF and that is a big IF, the board or individual staff are found of any intentional wrong doing then they should be punished. It doesn't seem fair to strip the players, and fans to some extent, of what they have rightfully won. Lets put it this way if a big multi-million pound company were found to be in breach of some trading rules, would the staff be fined? Would the employee of the month get thier plaque taken off the wall because of some fidling of the finances rom the boys upstairs? Of course they Wouldn't the people who did wrong would be punished. And IF the qpr board are found to be in breach of the Leauges rules is it fair to demean all the hard work of the football players? These are the questions the FA may be thinking about now as I type.

The other issue surrounding the alleged charges is the somewhat rediculous timing of the FA to have the inquest. The player in question was signed ion 2009, yet the final descion on the clubs fate has been brought against the club ONE day before the end of the footballing season. The FA seem to have been alerted about the problem a good few months ago and yet the case happens in the last week! If qpr were to be deducted points earlier in the season they at least would of known what was needed for promotion. Because of this reason the FA may have to think carefully about what punishment they give out as in the eyes of the public they may have seen to have been very incompitant. Also the desicion could open an entirely new can of worms; throwing the play offs in to a complicated mess.

To your everyday sports fan, the charges brought against the club are very difficult to understand unless you have some sort of legal background. However if QPR have been in breach of the rules, this fan hopes that a heafty fine will be sufficient to punish any wrong doing.
