Championship leaders Queens Park Rangers face a possible points deduction after they were charged with a breach of rule banning third-party ownership in relation to Alejandro Faurlin.
The Argentine midfielder joined Queens Park Rangers in July 2009 from Institute FC for £3.5 million but it is now alleged that when he did so an un-named third-party retained a stake in his economic rights.
If this did happen would open the championship right up and would be an amazing end to the season.
Would leave it
Swansea 63 +17
Norwich 63 +13
Cardiff 61. +14
Qpr 60 +35
Leeds 60 +14
Forest 59 +14.

a) Does the Tevez and Mascherano case set a precedent that 3rd party ownership breach is punished financially - or does that only apply to world cup winners ;-)
b) I doubt it would be a 10 point deduction
And I'm sure west ham only got a fine. Not to sure however.

I don't really expect QPR to have points deducted, but it's funny that Neil Warnock is their manager after he complained so much about West Ham.
It would make the QPR ' shoe in ' less likely' and we could have an interesting run in .
2 different competitions run by two different organisations.

I heard that this morning and thought Warnock thinks well West Ham got away with it , why can't we?
Oh the irony.
Warnocks team Sheff Utd are relegated instead of West Ham after West Ham fielded a player who had a contract which was against the rules relating to Third Party ownership
Warnocks new team QPR are docked points and miss out on promotion because they fielded a player who had a contract which was against the rules relating to Third Party ownership
And Leicester the year before made the play-offs following a league 1 promotion i believe.
Even those stupid millwall ***** are in a healthy position.
palarse must be blooming awful!
The Tevez incident was dealt with by a premier league appointed tribunal, probably made up of Trevor Brooking, Martin Samuel and any other smug west ham FA employee/journo.
This should be dealt with by an FA tribunal I think, so could be a different ending. I would laugh my tits off if they got a deduction. Their smug fans singing "we'll never play you again" Tuesday night would be gutted having to play us again.
