Qpr to be stripped of promotion - report

[ian1964 10,761]

QPR are set to be stripped of automatic promotion to the Premier League, according to a backpage report.

 

The Sun claims that the '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.'

 

If Rangers are found guilty, Norwich and Cardiff would almost certainly be promoted automatically to the top-flight.

 

Nonetheless, it appears as if the Championship season is set to end in messy if not chaotic fashion.

 

The hearing will only commence next Tuesday with a verdict expected to be delivered three days later.

 

'If Neil Warnock's side are found guilty they will have seven days to appeal,' continues The Sun. '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.'
