Warnock - "This is not Tevez II"

[alexferguson60]

Neil Warnock has claimed the FA charges threatening to derail Queens Park Rangers' promotion push bear no resemblance to the Carlos Tevez affair.
The QPR manager told Sportsmail: 'I've spoken to our legal advisers and they have been very reassuring. From what they have told me, this is nothing like the Tevez situation.'

The Championship leaders could be docked points if found guilty of breaking rules relating to third-party ownership and agents over their £3.4million signing of Alejandro Faurlin in 2009.
Rangers' legal team were preparing their defence yesterday and were confident of proving the club have not been involved in any deliberate wrongdoing.
Warnock called his squad in for a meeting ahead of training yesterday to ensure the furore does not affect heir hopes of promotion to the Barclays Premier League.
Argentinian midf ielder Faurlin, 24, showed enough in training to convince Warnock he is in the right frame of mind to start against Crystal Palace tomorrow.
Despite the FA charges, the irony of the situation is surely not lost on the veteran manager. Warnock criticised Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore after West Ham dodged a points penalty in 2007 for a similar offence.

The Hammers were instead fined £5.5m after being found guilty of acting improperly and withholding vital documents relating to the ownership of Tevez and Javier Mascherano.
Tevez's goals at the back end of the 2006-07 season were central to West Ham's survival and Warnock argued that his Sheffield United team were relegated as a result.

Faurlin has started 30 of Rangers' 36 Championship games this season, playing a key role in opening a sevenpoint gap at the top.
Warnock's insistence that the charges facing Rangers are nothing like the Tevez case show the Yorkshireman is anxious to avoid any accusation of hypocrisy.

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers, whose side are Rangers' closest Championship rivals, said: 'It will be interesting to see what the consequence will be here and what Neil's response is as well. You only have to look at the Tevez scenario, where West Ham did not lose any points.
'I'd be surprised if Rangers are docked points. I'm sure the authorities will act before the end of the season.'

This is a real test of his man management skills.
Faurlin might be of the right mind-set, but he seems a pretty laid-back kind of bloke anyway.
There are other players who this could get to, and we have to keep our fingers crossed that NW can smooth over the waters right now.

Nice to hear some reassuring words from Neil. Lets hope it's not as severe as we think.

Neil - cuddle me then tell me its chin up time in your Sheffield accent. Tussle my hair and give me a slap on the back.

All will be well with the world again.

I have to say if I wasn't Rangers this would have me laughing.

You can almost see the conversation -

NW - "look, I said some pretty harsh things about West Ham and the FA and insisted on a points deduction and this seems to be the same thing. It is going to make me look a bit of a ****"

Brief " Don't worry , this is nothing like the Tevez thing"

NW "Phew" "Thanks"

Would have been nice to see NW say that the legal team said their was no case to answer, but that word 'deliberate' popped up again.

Well they is no point denying wrong doing has taken place, the bottom line is to what degree.

I wonder if any opposing fans will start singing, in response to our 'top of the league song',

'you're not going up, you're not going up,
you're queens park rangers, you're not going up'

[stainrodisalegend]

Unfortunately it doesn't explain why our case is not similar to the Tevez one.

[Dando]

we just have to make sure we win the league by 18 points now :D

Think I may have heard them all already. I have been getting them via text for a couple of days now!. And I see Palace are trading variants of chants to take the **** on their gay site. Favourite seems to be "you thought you were top, you thought you were top, but you ****ed it up, you ****ed it up"

I am thinking we may get a couple of "cheat cheat cheat" jobbies thrown in.

**** em. 3 or 4 in the back of their net will shut them up. (P.S - I hear they are all urging each other to bring balloons in red and purple to "out do" the "blue and white day" the club is pushing. Good grief. This lot amaze me. Could they get any gayer.
