QPR and FFP

[MadAmster]

Oh well, some good has come out of it then!

As to MadAmster's question, I think they should be fined and demoted, in the manner that Rangers were in Scotland: down to tier 4.

In view of the fact that their "cheating" resulted in us not being promoted, we should be given 50% of the fine as compensation for the loss of promotion. 25% of it should go to Wigan who they beat in the semi finals and the remaining 25% should go wherever the authorities deem fit.

That could establish a difficult precedent though

Demotion might dissuade others from following their lead.

Just had a thought - the remaining 25% of the QPR fine should be given to Brentford and Fulham as their nearest local rivals

[DerbyDaDream]

50% of the fine works out quite nicely for compensation.

On a nother forum I use, one of the posters has called for QPR to be relegated to the bottom toer of English football AND have a 20 point deduction.

Would you advocate this either:

a) as a replacement for the £40M fine?

b) on top of the fine?

c) a reduced fine and demotion to tier 12/13

B, Can't see much deterrent in just changing the fine for demotion, so I would give both.

50% of the fine works out quite nicely for compensation.

To whom?

[DerbyDaDream]

Us of course as Roger suggests...

Yes...I like that idea...and how much did they get for going up? Could that be split between us and Wigan too please?

Demotion, those in charge need to show they mean business with FFP or it will always be abused with clubs throwing their hands up in the air Tony Adams style and hoping for a let-off

To say I have little or no sympathy for Qpr is an understatement.
Bear in mind they did it in 2013-14, the season we went down from this division. How do you all think it makes us feel when we (and other clubs of course) go down after naively sticking by the rules. And they go spending money like theres no tomorrow and they knew they were blatantly going against the 'ffp' rules..

Agreed, They stole a Premier league place from the Rams, although we should have beaten ten men at Wembley (interesting fact I have been to two of Derby's three play-off's for a place in the Premiership and we lost both) Maybe it is Karma for the hurt they caused
