Good question Brin. QPR won promotion to the prem in 2014 on the back of overspending £65 mill on wages and incurring a £70 mill loss . A promotion they would never have won without financial cheating. They were due a fine of nearly £60 mill. This was not an arbitrary figure but calculated exactly in accordance with very clear ffp rules at the time. But - they were now in the prem and efl couldn't touch them. Extra income from their spell in the prem was £140 mill
. They got relegated and efl tried to collect the £60 mill. Several appeals later (QPR lost them all) and the efl caved.
£42 mill "fine" except it wasn't. £22 to be paid by the shareholders TO THE CLUB to pay off loans. £17 mill fine and £3 mill costs to be paid to the efl over 10 years.
