Yes, I find it facinating

I don't know what the FA could have done about timing given when it was passed on to them by the FL, however, it is now an impossible situation.

If they decide QPR are guilty and deserving of a deduction of points. If it is say, 6 points and they are 10 ahead going into the last game, QPR get away free and the FA look impotent. If they deduct 20 points, going by recent deductions for Hereford and Torquay it will not apply for 28 days while they have right of appeal, by which time the play-offs have been and gone.

If the FA apply it immediately they are looking at a ?90 million law suit if they lose a subsequent appeal.

If they don't apply it pending appeal, QPR will be looking at a massive law suit if they fail to win the appeal from the club that finish 3rd.

I think the FA will give a meaningless point deduction to set precedent and a big fine.
