Doodle Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It’s probably old news, but just heard QPR have been found guilty of breaching FFP rules and fined 42 million by the football league. Their cheating had zero effect on the football league, but maximum effect on Derby. Surely at a very minimum the 42 million should go straight to Derby, but would suggest a law suit could land us a massive % of what we have lost out on by missing out on the premier leagues riches. If someone wanted to believe in conspiracy theories, is it possible our current (over) spending is quid pro quo for this travesty of justice ?

Kernow Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We lost the game when it was there for the taking. Time to move on & get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 lets be right, FFP is not to stop club v club advantage, it's there to protect clubs, fans and local businesses from chancers wasting loads of money then running away leaving the club in the mire. QPR owners have been punished in terms of they have had to give the debt away, so if they decide to walk away from QPR, the debt doesn't remain with the club. We didn't lose that play-off due to them overspending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t trip on the stairs on my way out so not phoning a claims company. But WHY do the football league get 42 million when we suffered the results of their blatant cheating. This money could just be the final boost this club needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we have any chance of winning a £42mil claim when another 20 teams were also not promoted that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closer you are to promotion the bigger effect it had. I’m sure teams in and around the play offs would also get a percentage in law. But if you finished 16 th it wasn’t because QPR cheated, it’s was because you’re as crap as forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriggRam Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I’m sure I read or heard somewhere part of the money was distributed amongst the other clubs in the league that had stayed within the FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure mate, whether it was a percentage of the fine or whole fine, I can’t see the EFL giving it all away can you, I’m sure I’d seen it a while ago on the QPR ffp thread, I’m certainly not going through it again to see if I’m right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It was years ago now... it was our own defence collapsing that ultimately lost that game (and forwards failing to score earlier) not the fact QPR spent all that money. Rightfully they are punished but it’s not our problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
