Nodge 70īs comments are what worries me the most. I guess he is in the fotball business as such, isenīt he?

Personal opinion only.

On one hand it's the club saying "how dare you make any decision sub-judice" on the other it's "oh f**k".

Just on Faurlin's contract and the third party ownership situation. It is my understanding that there were NO regulations precluding third party ownership in the Football League until 1 September 2010. We advised the FL of a potential problem with AF's contract extension at a unknown point in September 2010, finally submitted correct and above board paperwork on or before September 30th. Then there is the possibility of confusion in the required paperwork between the FA and the FL. The max number of games an "incorrectly registered" Faurlin would have been eligible for is, I think, 5. Of those 5 games, he played 37 mins. Missing 3 more completely through injury and being a non playing substitute in the final game.

Pick the bones out of that.

I'm more concerned about what else has been dug up whilst investigating this, relatively minor, infringement inc the charges laid personally at Gianni Paladini. If we've ******ed up what should have been a relatively easy registration because we wanted to tell the world that the transfer fee was Ģ3.5m, it will be one of the saddest chapters in UK football that the players, staff and supporters of a club such as Queens Park Rangers should be hung out to dry for the sake of one or two individuals egos.

Additionally, IF we don't go up - does this leave the door open to some players open to suing the Club for bonus payments due for promotion? Does Ecclestone and Mittal then think "**** it - we don't need this" and walk away. Serious, serious LONG TERM consequences of this inquiry. If it goes against us, I really fear for the future.

Too right to - if there's no substance should screw that scroat custis through the courts - see how that twunt enjoys it!

Sue him for what?

[Shania]

I can't say to much shania but yes it is a concern when nodge thinks we've had it. Works for a top 5 premiership side and knows the way a club runs.

Excatly.

Technically not correct, the rules as I posted earlier came out in May and were amended with update in July. Plenty of time to get act in order by club.

On this be afraid, oh so afraid.

Last but not least it does not absolve the club from using an agent who was not on FA register. There is a requirement for Agent to register even if approved by another Football authority and the club has a requirement to check. It is oh so clear in the rules.

It's irrelevant.

Never never ever known a situation close to this.

Dealt with the FA Disciplinary team re agents - but mostly around academy players...

This is utterly different and beyond my professional experience. I think I've said personal opinion only in most threads aside from comments from FA staff that I've passed on but, as mentioned, I truly believe they didn't have a clue and were busting my balls as a QPR fan.

Nobody knows what's going to happen, not Nodge, not Pete, no one. All we can do is wait and see.

Not my understanding. Implemented in the FL after the summer transfer window closed on August 31st 2010.

maybe just maybe and i know this is a really stupid thing to say but maybe the sun made this story up because murdoch who runs the sun has got the hump with bernie for not selling him the rights to show f1 on t.v!!!!! or the sun just made it up for a laugh!

Murdoch hasn't had any day to day involvement with the Sun (aside from steering the editorial team's political direction) for many years. Co-incidence. Plus Bernie would sell F1 and FOCA if someone matched his price.

[Modest Mouse]

So if he played in one game, deduct us 3 points and a slap on the wrist.
Then make sure that we win 1 of the next 2 games.

Result= Champions.

[Minty]

I see the updated statement on the club website as the club forcing the FA to make a statement of their own, so as to prevent anymore cr@p from the media over the next week.

Merely a cooling down of the whole media-hype thing.

That's all.

I see what you mean. One can only hope that they will punish the individuals concerned rather than the club and itīs followers.
As I see it now the relationship between FA and QPR is getting worse minute by minute, and that doesnt excatly, as you put it, "bode well"

[Connell10]

ok then nodge the sun just made the story up its not the first time and im sure it wont be the last! why are you so sure this isnt just another bit of b,s from a paper well know for doing this sort of thing!

[KLOS]

FA/SUN

You cannot leak a result of decison prior to a hearing at which that decision is to be taken. it is prejudicai and liable to civil action.

[Funge]

I'm currently studying the Legal Practice COurse and this is typical in litigation, shows that you are on the ball, tries to undermine the opponent as little as it is and its worth a shot at undermining the other sides case without being frivolous ie they shouldnt be leaking info, it may do no good but if they have leaked then they have done wrong and there is no problem in QPR lawyers highlighting this to the panel or even court if it ends up there. Its not exactly massive neough to get the case thrown out but calls into characterthe FA in general.
