    The FA have said QPR will be playing Championship football next season.
    They haven't said they won't have a point deduction.

    Pathetic in my view.

    In my youth I used to like QPR but over the last few years I think they have become a poor man's Chelsea.

    My dislike for the modern QPR is the reason Jackos winner from Astrit's perfect corner was my favourite Charlton moment from the last two seasons.

    Why are the Football League making their own position weaker? I don't understand it. What are they hoping to achieve? If it was to avoid the law suit, surely they could have just announced a "substantial" fine (about 23p) had been paid by QPR and it was all resolved.

    Paul Merson just said, if players can choose who to join next season QPR or Burnley they would pick QPR

    Well yes Paul, QPR offer stupid wages so are more likely to get players

    Also, have you been to Burnley?

    Matched a 3.5 million pound bid for two Swindon players, that Villa have also gone in for.

    clearly QPR don't care about fines if they are already bidding for players.

    They will probably get a transfer embargo instead of a fine, so the Football League will need to give them time to sign a new team before enforcing the embargo.

    Hmm, a well run club that banked the money from promotion to improve long term, with a well respected and proven manager, who is admired throughout football and has a track record of getting out of this division...
    Or a shambles of a club with massive debts, an unproven manager, and a squad full of overpaid, fading pros

    Sadly most players would probably choose the latter

    Are the other 23 clubs going to do anything about this or just let it wash over them?

    What CAN they do? Legitimate question, not being facetious. Protesting and pointing out that QPR have essentially cheated is fine but everyone involved is already well aware of it, I don't know there is any power amongst other clubs to do anything about it short of refusing to do business with QPR. And that isn't going to happen, not amongst all 23 other clubs anyway - money talks loudly.

    Could force them to give Simon Church a contract

    Take the League to court as mentioned above by various others.

    They've released 6 players inc. Ferdinand, Barton and Wright-Phillips.
    Wouldn't mind getting the latter and the chants that would follow.
    "He's better than Brad,
    He's better than Braaaad!
    Shaun Wright-Phillips,
    He's better than Brad."

    Is he though? I doubt it.

    Besides, he'd probably still want £700 a week even now.

    Exceptionally cheap at the price. Roly would probably want him a little cheaper though.

    Is that cheap for someone who hasn't played competitively since ? and is how old? and was never all that at his peak? I am unconvinced.

    At the end of the day why even have FFP ?

    Why not have a sugar daddy pumping millions into your club?

    Some clubs are richer than others - so be it.

    Now that FIFA have been finally found out, perhaps something similar should be done about the English football authorities. From some of the decisions made over the years (and our own experiences bear witness), it would appear that all is not what it should be in our "own house2.

    so despite the FFP issues and there fine, somehow they have still managed to turn down a £12 Million bid for Austin

    Not many championship clubs would be able to turn down an offer like that

    Signed. Only 27 have though. Poor.

    Good do with a money/cheating song for them for the opening game.
