The QPR fine.

Sat May 07, 2011 5:43 pm

Ok, two charges proven.

1) Agent - 75k fine.
2) Bringing game into disrepute - 800k fine.

It's the second that is the most interesting - what precisely caused that charge? And why the massive discrepancy between the two fines?

What I suspect is what most felt - QPR lawyers threatening disruption should any points deduction etc occur. Maybe FA hadn't dotted I's, crossed T's. Maybe they came up with a ballpark figure of an acceptable sum to get everything over with and that's been used in the disrepute fine?

Fantasic question, but God knows what the answer is.
